Worthing 1-0 Enfield Town

[Tally Ho]

Saturday 3pm.

Prediction : 2-2.

[The Crowing Cockerel]

Not entirely convinced by Worthing's defence at present, but at the other end we need to hope the likes of Cashman, Faal and Wheeler have an off day.

Heart says 1-2, head says 3-0 to the Rebels.

[No bull Towner]

I'll go for 1-1 or a 1-2 if we're lucky

Worthing away is always a game to look at when the calendars get released. I would say there is a bit of animosity between the two sides and there’s always a lot of goals in this fixture aswell. I imagine a lot of fans next week will make the journey to Brighton.

Honestly, not expecting a lot from this game. I’d be very happy with 5 out of a possible 9 points in these away games but if we lose and it’s 4/9, I’m still over the moon.

Worthing’s manager last week said Faal and Nicky Wheeler are injured, but they started against St Albans. Hopefully it was a nagging injury and one of them miss out. 

Prediction: Optimistic as always, I’ll go a 2-3 win. Attendance will be around 1,500.

Can’t be there today but hoping we can continue our form and bring home at least a point - a tough ask .. the bookies have us as more likely to lose 0-4 than to win 1-0!

Hope Mo has a quiet game ..

 

as said above we would have taken 4 from 9 so let’s go with confidence .. 

 

I was reminded that on 19 Dec it was my 37 year anniversary of my first Enfield fc game - and it was 4-2 v Worthing!!

Just the one up front then (Chukwu) and no Adam Thompson again.

1-0 down, right on half-time.

[The Crowing Cockerel]

Worthing take lead on stroke of half time.

 

1-0

 

Shame, have defended well.

[The Crowing Cockerel]

Can't afford to switch off - was crucial that we made it through to half-time if we're only going to play one up top.

[Tally Ho]

Lost 1-0.

[Father Jack]

All over. 0-1. Didn't have a shot apparently 

[Shep]

Didn’t go today. Don’t understand why we don’t take a risk and play with 2 strikers when heading for a 1-0 defeat, it’s not as if we have a goal difference worth protecting. 

[Towningaround]

Left out the only in form striker we’ve had all season 😉🤪🤣

[ETFC2001]

That’s about as bleak as it’s going to get this season, or we have seen it get this season. Wasn’t expecting that to win as Worthing have been ahead of us for quite a while now but that performance does sting.

Good news is St Albans conceded a last minute winner, and Weymouth only got a point. Bad news is Bath are now 7 points clear again after beating Aveley 3-0. I am fearing we might of started picking up too late in the season. 

Onto Boxing Day though.

Come on Gavin, lets at least go out with a bang!!! So very frustrating once again.

Was anyone expecting anything from this game? We're playing a very good side away from home, and we've gone 90 minutes still in the game (you never know what might happen if you are just a goal down - see Weston). We've come through 3 really tough away games with a win, a draw and a loss so I say well done to the management and the team. Other results could have been more favourable today, and we've clearly left ourselves with a huge task to get out of trouble, but let's judge us on our performances against those around us, not the likes of Worthing.

[The Crowing Cockerel]

We're in a position where we need to keep picking up points on our travels. 7 points adrift is a real problem. Make no bones about it, the team probably need to find the kind of form which would've got us in/near the play-offs over the course of entire season if we are to stand a chance. So yes, I was hoping for something from this game - just as I will do for the away games at Maidstone, Boreham Wood and Slough etc.

[Barney]

Of course hoping, as was I... but I'm not getting dejected, or being that surprised when we lose games like this.
