To be honest I was absolutely exhausted after the game so didn’t have the energy to be too hyper! It was a great win but there’s always improvements to be made. Yes it’s a good result and been a very good week but I’m still disappointed with our points total. Hopefully it’ll kickstart us now but football has a cruel way of biting you in the ass if you get too high with the wins, so I’d rather keep a lid on things and just focus on the next game! 

Speaking of the next game… I’m guessing Bromley wouldn’t want George cup tied? Also is Mickel near a place in the matchday squad?

Certainly hope George can play, he's so pivotal to our side going forward.

As for Mickel, again I saw him doing some pre match running on the pitch but only jogging and not any sprinting so presumably he's a long way from being ready for the rigors of what playing in a match would require.

If we have got George on loan until January 1st, the first round of the F.A. Cup  that George could play for Bromley would be the 3rd Round Proper.

Are Bromley likely to get to this stage of the competition and if they do would they need to call on George a few days  after he goes back to them ?

Like all Rebels fans I'm hoping George plays next Saturday.

Let’s hope Bromley see sense especially after they beat those rubbish Magpies 4-1 yesterday! They don’t need him and we certainly do as trying to replace him would be some task and no doubt unaffordable!

Tyrese Dyce also makes a huge difference when he is in the team,too. To me it proves that we need to play as many of our better players in the first eleven to move this team up the table. Our club shouldn't be expecting youngsters to fill the gaps in this division. Of course there's room for one or two academy players to find their way onto the bench and get occasional minutes and it may lead to unearthing a 'nugget' but let's be realistic to get anywhere near the play offs you need quality seasoned players across the pitch.

On yesterday's game I thought the heat actually helped Slough get the win as the Aveley players didn't have the same enthusiasm/fight as the Slough players did to chase lost causes in the humid conditions. Looking on at Aveley I thought they had a few livewire players who on another day could have given Slough problems but in truth they rarely threatened Slough's goalkeeper, and once Slough scored it seemed to drain their efforts and if anything galvanised the Rebels for the win. Although their number 7 looked particularly useful early on and Dan Bayliss had his work cut out with him [with Tyrese pushing up in the wing back role]. I'm glad it wasn't a milder day !

I, too thought Jeanmal Prosper had an outstanding game in midfield by breaking up Aveley's attacks and setting up Slough's forwards. Dom Hutchinson also caught the eye with his contribution and George Alexander's non stop work rate up front epitomised the best of Slough's game but well done to all our lads across the pitch for a fine gutsy performance in that testing heat. 

Talking of nuggets, I've not seen a lot of him but the young lad Oliver Spicer, who's only 16 and has made 2 sub first team appearances, looks really promising and one to keep an eye on for the future.

A surprisingly poor 615, lowest of the season. I know it was sweltering but with all the initiatives the club laid on plus a great win on Tuesday I really thought we’d get around 750. Nevermind we can only keep playing well and winning and hope the crowds increase.

Supporters like nice weather to watch football but perhaps sometimes it can be too hot and the floating supporter will find something else to do.

Keep winning and climbing the table with the addition of a cup run and our attendances will grow to the magical 1,000 mark.

I believe in the Q&A with Scott he said that we were allowed to play George in the FA Cup so nothing to worry about there!

It’s something I’m working on at the moment! TBC 😅

Whilst you’re working on it try and get him signed for the whole season without call back!

Well worth watching the Rebels today even if it is costing me £180 to stay at the Moxy Hotel as all trains cancelled due to 2 major incidents from London to the South West.

Steve, I hope you are going to contact Great Western customer services and tell them what happened to you, and that you expect some compensation for what occurred.

No way should you be expected to pay nearly 200 quid because they were unable to give you the service you paid them for.
