@thameunitedfc and www.thamefootball.co.uk would like to thank Ben for his time in speaking to us ahead of the home tie V Coleshill Town this Saturday afternoon.

*** QUESTION TIME ***

What were your thoughts about the boys performance last Saturday against Barton Rovers?
Ben- 'Like I said last week, we know on our day with the quality we have in our dressing room. We are capable of beating any team in this league. Boys worked very hard in tough conditions on and off the ball and used it well in our attacking third, looked dangerous’.

Were there any standout performances for you from the Dugout?
Ben - ' Yes of course. Firstly Tuts was given a chance to show us he is hungry for a starting place. He didn’t disappoint, I felt he worked tirelessly to break play up and get the ball forward into a attacking position. Peaks filled in at right back and played a blinder! Was great to see westy back firing on all cylinders again. After being out injured. Thought he was Class in front of goal either creating or scoring himself. But credit to all the lads. We changed shape at half time everyone reacted and it worked perfectly.

Lynton Goss got on the score sheet, to make it 2 games in a row. Is Lynton back on form ?
Ben- ' 100%. Everyone in the league knows of Lynton’s talent and how clinical he is given the chance to score. He has promised us he will score in every game till the end of the season. So good to see his confidence’.

With the last 7 days seeing Red Kite Radio and 3B Hire & Servicing joining as sponsors, what has been the reaction at the club?
Ben - ' The reaction at the club. Has been amazing and grateful. I think everyone is just excited for the coming weeks. Then leading on to plans for next season. With company’s of a high stature on board will hopeful open avenues for more to see the light. And more local football fans to come down and show there support.’.

What are you hoping to see from the boys Saturday afternoon V Coleshill Town?
Ben- ' To pick up where we left off! The boys have trained well all week. Just need to turn up full of confidence ready to work hard again, and put on a show.

Do we have any injury concerns or suspensions going into the Coleshill Town game?
Ben- ' Not that I’m aware off with Mepham returning this week to training comes back in to squad for tomorrow’.

Any final comments for the fans and followers?
Ben - ' With Carlos achieving absolute miracles behind the scenes attracting such sponsors and on social media/media partners. Please come down to show the lads some support for one of our most important games of the season. And help us make this club a great one’.

Cheers JOHNNO
