You could possibly add the two games against Farnborough into the mix if they win their games in hand.

With 3 games against sides fighting for survival that's, as it stands, 7 games out of 10 against sides with a lot to play for.

With a thin squad we've got to hope that key players don't pick up any injuries.

As you say Adrian the positive is that it's in our hands.

We do currently have a squad of 22 players we can call upon including those out on loan.

That's why I said 'key players' that are hard to replace.

One fewer now that Temi's been recalled from his loan by Maidenhead-as they were perfectly entitled to do. (Back in the day players who came to Slough from there did tend to stay a fair bit longer though).

Excellent performance on the night from us. Once ahead we rarely looked in all that much bother. 

2nd half we controlled the game with some great passing almost toying with Concord. All that was missing was a few more goals to make it that much more emphatic. 

Obi running at the defenders certainly looks a real danger. We seem to have found the way to get the best out of him. Much better intensity to our build-up play in last game and a half

Great to see Ogo getting a couple of goals, hopefully that might help him hit a bit of goalscoring form which could be vital.

A brilliant and vital result at this stage of the season and IMO we owed them one from December when they got a 0-0 after playing 75 minutes with 10 men. The big games keep coming, but another 3 on Saturday could go a long way to keeping us safe.

Temi going back to Maidenhead is a massive blow IMO. Not sure how many of the 11 games he played for us he was actually MoM, but I bet in at least half he would have been in the top 3. A superb player snd 1 that really made a difference to the defence. I just hope that those that remain can keep up the performance levels, but, with Dandy also suspended for I assume 3 games out of the 10 remaining, we are light on numbers in the centre of defence. I wonder if we will be able to get anyone else in before the deadline (normally the end of March, but not sure when this season?)

Pretty sure Dandy is only a 1 game suspension.

Surely a bad tackle is deemed dangerous/serious foul play and a 3 match suspension?

Anyone know the attendance last night??

Guess the only person that can answer our question is Scott Davies.

Definitely a 3 match ban starting Saturday.

[Rebel Kay]

Definitely 3

[Connor McNeish]

Well that’s not good then. Back for Ebbsfleet on the 25th though.

IMO we are going to need a replacement for Temi for the remaining 10 games.

Every one of our remaining 10 games will be like a cup final and losing a player like Temi who's been pivotal in making our defense a more solid unit will really hurt.

It was noted when he signed that Tyrese Owen can play centre half. Maybe that’s something we will potentially see.

Most of his stats say that he's a midfielder.

Perhaps he can do a job in that position along with Lee Togwell but they are just sticking plasters when imo we really need a player who's main position is a central defender.
