Letter From The Captain - Simon Barby

SIMON BARBY

Welcome back to Bobby Hancocks Park, where we return for another home fixture, this time against Bourton Rovers. We would like to welcome the to the BHP ground!

I also would like to say how great the supporters have been at getting behind the team, home and away. Especially when we have a home fixture, I see so many new and old Southam supporters which is so lovely to see. We have had a lot of games in the last couple of weeks playing Saturday, midweek, and the Saturday again. So the games are coming think and fast!

Its been a tough start for us, but I think we have settled down and will get to winning ways this Saturday versus Bourton Rovers. Coming off the back of an impressive performance against FC Stratford, even though we took a point each, its our first point on the table. But now we move on from that and we will start picking up points now that we have settled and are back to putting big performances on display. The desire for it is there around the squad!

So, our last game our performance and work rate was superb, and we need that every game now. We can’t drop the standard. Even though we may have deserved 3 points, as we had some good chances in that Stratford match. We also had to jiggle about positions as we have had a few injuries now through the squad. So I hope all the lads have a speedy recovery and are back with us in no time.

The atmosphere in the squad is so great. We even had injured players coming and supporting us, and they had their say in the changing rooms. We are a great bunch of lads, on-and-off the field! How far BHP and the Southam team have come is brilliant. There is so much work thats gone into it and with the management team working close with the players its just got a big positive energy around the place. Thanks for your support! Cheers!
