Lewes v Enfield Town

[littlehampton]

Very best of luck to our players, officials and supporters, for our Isthmian Premier League match against Lewes at the Dripping Pan this afternoon.

It's going to be a tough game, but we travel in confident mood, second in the table, have a good side, and are unbeaten home or away this season to date.

Let's hope we can add to those successes, chalk up another away win, with three points from our visit to East Sussex.

Now it’s a very bad day 3-0 down  big fight back now needed

To say I am stunned by this first half score-line would be an under-statement. Lewes have drawn their previous two home games this season, and we have looked pretty watertight in defence. It is quite breezy down here on the south coast today, so that may have played a part. We have a lot of ground to make up in the next 45 minutes, hopefully, the wind will be on our backs and we will launch a big fight back, and get something from this game. Fingers crossed !

3-1 it’s working ...... I hope

Not really surprised OT since I didn't think it would take long for an apposing manger to work out AL's long ball strategy. Now it's up to him to start the fight back in the dressing room with a different plan.

 

 

Perhaps we are going to be surprised!!!!!

Another non-league club that doesn't sell pies (the natural food of the football match) by the look of it! ???

Final Score  Lewes  4-1  Town

Sadly, our second half comeback never materialised, and we lost the match and our unbeaten start to the season. A disappointing result, but one defeat certainly doesn't make us a bad team. We have played played and beaten some decent sides prior to this reverse, and the aim now will be to get back to winning ways on Tuesday evening, when we face Haringey Borough in the League at the QE2 Stadium, before our important home FA Cup match against Hadley next weekend.

Our next opponents Haringey Borough lost at home 0-1 today against Corinthian Casuals. We have slipped to 4th in the Table and they are 5th. Should be a good match on Tuesday evening. Sure we will be looking to bounce straight back. Keep the faith !

[4wembleyfinals]

I sincerely hope so LH!!!  But we will have to tighten up our defensive discipline. Three first half goals in 13 minutes and 1 goal only 4 minutes after our only goal suggests a lack of organisation and leadership. Mind you these frailties started to show during last Saturday's game. This has to be addressed promptly before next Saturday's FA cup tie. Otherwise we could come unstuck against Hadley and we all agree we need the prize money.

I think the Haringay game will be a very good barometer of how out season will pan out..Bounce back with a win against a good team and i can see us finishing top 6..A draw would indicate a final position of about 7th-9th.Another loss on the bounce and i can see mid-table looming

Wasn't there yesterday (the joys of taking my daughter around the country to look at universities!)

Just posted the highlights up from Lewes - and looks like we had some good opportunities before they had a crazy 15 of scoring 3...

One defeat only - would have taken 4th place and still in the cup at this stage if you'd offered it to me the evening of the 1-7 Hayes game in pre season!!

Looking forward to Tuesday - a good vocal crowd at home - no reason why this is not just a blip ..

Some competition for places too  - strong bench where all 5 of the subs would be expecting to start ..

I am more than a little concerned that we have ridden our luck so far this season - lets not forget that in our win against Cheshunt the oppo hit the woodwork twice and spurned a few other good chances. At this stage I don't necessarily think we've progressed a great deal (despite the Lewes Manager's claim that our team has got stronger each year since AL took over). And if  Mo leaves at or before Xmas I fear it might be mid-table mediocrity for us this year. Still hoping to be pleasantly surprised but we shall see. I don't mind the long ball game when we have Cunnington on the field - it makes a change from the past when we have played that way without having had a target man on the pitch!
