littlehampton Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 This Saturday afternoon Town welcome AFC Hornchurch to the Queen Elizabeth II Stadium, Donkey Lane, for a Ryman Premier Division fixture of massive importance to both clubs. A match which neither team can afford to lose or draw. Back in October, when Town beat 'The Urchins' 1-0 at The Stadium, Upminster, few people would have expected them to be visiting us this weekend, 23rd in the table, fighting relegation, without a win in their last six matches. Despite a couple of blips, Town are playing well with plenty of confidence, and will be looking to turn in another BIG performance in this match, as they battle for another three points to boost their chances of making the play offs. It promises to be a real cracker of a match, and there will be plenty of loud, noisy vocal support for Brad and the boys in this crucial encounter. Don't miss it! Good luck everyone. See you there!

Wivenhoe Urchin Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 At that point in the season I was expecting us to be fighting relegation, as we still hadn't won a home game. Right now I'm surprised by how many points away we are but we keep on going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1F in Enfield Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 FT 3-2. A difficult game and another result ground out. Well done to Brad and the boys. Back in the play- off zone. COYT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeasideTowner Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 That was one big banana skin out of the way today. Great atmosphere created by the ultras as usual but the perfomance felt very flat. We made a pretty poor Hornchurch side look relatively good. We scored two good goals along with Doyleys penalty and man of the match, by some way in my opinion, was Tyler Campbell. Absolutely magical wing play. Maybe the nerves are beginning to show. We can do this - we're certainly good enough ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chase Side Towner Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 The only dissapointment was the language in some of the chants. I agree. Why the need to mention Wingate is beyond me. Apart from that, some superb swearing in the songs. The ultras deserve all the [****!!****]ing plaudits they get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlehampton Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 By our own standards in recent weeks, this was not one of our better performances, but we held on for the three points against a very determined Hornchurch side fighting for survival. Watching from the stand, I thought we looked very nervy at the back and gave the ball away far too often, particularly in the first half. The windy conditions did not help, but The Urchins first goal, resulting from poor defending, served as a reality check for Town, and in second half we upped our game, hit them hard, and quickly established a two goal lead. We could have added more, but Hornchurch struck a superb free-kick near the end, to reduce the deficit and set up a nail-biting finish. Town deserved their win, but this was a very close call.

lovely stuff Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Was difficult to get the ball down and play yesterday..Pitches this time of year get very hard and bouncy.Coupled with the fast shutting down of the ball from a big Hornchurch side made things tricky.We did well to get the win.
