*** QUESTION TIME ***

We are coming off 3 wins in a row in all competitions, what factors do you put this down to?
BEN – I’ll be honest, it has been a long time coming. Our performances have been good enough to win the last 6. But we was losing due to some individual mistakes. So we’ve worked very hard on tightening things up. And as you can see have paid off!

What are the injury and suspension news going in to Saturday’s game?
BEN – Gleds is still out with that bad elbow injury but is on his way back. We welcome back into the squad Lynton and Essex. Which is a massive boost!

Corby sit top of the league, is this fixture perhaps the toughest of the league season?
BEN – Corby will always be strong in this league and have been going well, so obviously will be the strongest team we will have faced so far this season. The lads will be full of confidence on the back of a good run and a fully fit squad.

What are the boys working on this week in training?
BEN – As usual the lads have put maximum effort in training this week. They have worked extra hard Tuesday with some runs and high intensity games. Then focused abit more on ball work and game plan on Thursday evening.

For those that don’t remember what happened in this fixture last season at Corby?
BEN - We went over a bit like Saturday. Full of confidence. Boys turned up start well, worked hard and scored some great goals. Then the chairman went mental on his own in the stand. Hehe!

What are you hoping to see from the boys away to Corby this time round?
BEN - Corby need a certain level of respect as they are a well drilled, decent outfit. We as a squad just need to carry on this momentum and don’t change a thing. Turning up and work hard and stick to what the plan is! I’m confident we can come away from a tough place with something.

Any final comments for the fans and followers?
BEN - We have some very tough fixtures approaching and need everyone to get behind the boys. The Xmas period is always fun with a lot of football. With some exciting home fixtures! Perfect opportunity to get down the ASM! Cheers JOHNNO!
