Totton (h))
We are playing a team five points behind us but with three games in hand. Only a week ago they beat Hornchurch so cannot underestimate them. We have a number of injuries but after a great win in midweek at Chesham need to follow that up with three points tomorrow.

Apparently they are also absolutely riddled with injuries including Vigrass who came on for just a few minutes in midweek before being forced off. Despite getting a red card their 12-goal top scorer Tony Lee can play due to that weird seven day rule which we're very familiar with this season.
This is a massive chance to put ourselves in the pack and really establish some distance over Totton. They're one of a few sides who have several games in hand but aren't in overly compelling form. Points on the board are preferable to a congested few weeks on end.
I was surprised to see that by basically every rolling five game form guide up to 20, we are right up there - it certainly hasn't felt that way. I'm still in no way convinced by anything we do but the stats are better. As they should be, let's be honest.
Hopefully though we can make it five home victories in a row, then start to record some better results against the better sides, towards which Tuesday night was a good start.

Totton haven’t won an away game since September. 
That was awful to watch. We were well beaten and although they scored two in the first half it could have been more. We hardly had a shot on target and I can only remember their goalkeeper making one save. We desperately missed Joe Haigh and cannot possibly understand why we would loan Rashawn Scott to Chippenham because we were crying out for someone like him today.

I went to a game today for the first time since September.
1. There was zero atmosphere and when did the walk out noise change? That wasn’t music that helped build an atmosphere or excitement.
If it isn’t going to be London Calling can we have Samba de Janeiro back please?
2. The ground looked empty at 2:50 pm. It might have filled up a bit by 3:05 pm but that didn’t look like1247.
3. I had a burger. It was tasteless. I mean really tasteless. You couldn’t taste the thing that was meant to be meat in the middle. I won’t buy one again.
4. The first 5 minutes I thought we were okay and a couple of our players put in some smart runs. Our number18 for instance. I felt we could have been 2-0 up. But then we started playing like we were just having a kick around with no urgency and no real formation. I wish i could comment more but our football was so forgettable- hardly any stand out moments.
5. Bradbury spent most of the first half annoying the 4th official. Every single call that went against us, he would go and complain to the 4th official. He also tried to complain to the lino on our side, but he told him to shut up. I don’t know if he was told off by the officials at half time, but he hardlly spoke to them at all in the second half. He seems clueless, completely clueless. Does anyone know how long his contract is? He has to go.
6. It was lovely seeing so many friends today despite the atmosphere throughout the game being flat and zero excitement. The new owners have got a mountain to climb if they want to try and bring back the match day atmosphere; at no time did it feel like Dagenham.

First time back since Maidenhead home (injury) and today was extremely as bad as first away last Saturday Maidenhead! Nothing changes even after a good midweek win? Were the most inconstitant team I ve ever set me eyes on, something aint been right for ages, why did we sit back and let them dictate the game to us? Bad marking up both their goals 3 points away now what?
Would be surprised if more than 800 were in there. No atmosphere whatsoever.
Football was dire once Totton weathered our early pressure. Terrible game with hardly any quality.
The food has long been dreadful, must be one of the worst value in the division. Some of our rivals serve up some really decent stuff.
