So, on we go to tomorrow. Braintree. I think before the season, many would have been calling these lot nailed on favourites for at least a playoff spot. After a very shaky start, they looked like they would be more likely to be plying their trade in the Evo-Stik league next year than bouncing back to the National League however, they have turned things around of late and are starting to show signs of their dangerous brand of football. 

We have had a very interesting last two games with a home win against Weymouth being arguably another marquee performance in the early stages of the season. To hold them to nil and get the goal for the win (and arguably should have had a couple more) is a real credit to the lads so far this season. We rang the changes in bulk for Monday and it would seem went down a little too easily to Hampton & Richmond, a team that before CTFC hadn't registered a win at home in the league, which proves like Mark always says, there are no easy games in this league. Top is capable of slipping to bottom, strange results will occur and complacency is never an option. 

Personally I would like to see a return to the side that turned over Weymouth possibly with the addition of Pratt back into the fold. Zebroski looked very dangerous last week and the defence was absolutely resolute. Chuck Dave's pace back into the side and I think we have a really good chance of claiming all three points here. I would also like to see Nat Jarvis feature prominently to start getting back that razor sharp confidence that led him to 20+ last season.

A couple of games coming up now where we really need to lock in and focus on being the absolute best we can be. Season is well under way and teams are starting to show us what they are about. A few good wins, a little run puts us right in the fold for those playoff spots. At that point it gives us something to chase, a target and if we fall short, we fall on a cloud as opposed to in the danger zone. Let's get behind the lads tomorrow and really drive them home.
