Kempston are a team that can't be taken lightly. They have only lost once in league and cup games since the opening day of the season (at Cogenhoe a week ago), although they were expelled from the FA Cup on a technicality. Yesterday they won 4-0 at Harborough Town which took them to 11th - with games in hand on the teams above them.

I notice that after travelling for this game they are currently scheduled to play 10 games in a row at home (albeit with a few cup games amongst them). You could understand that sort of thing happening at the end of a season, like it did with Northampton Spencer after all their problems playing games at home, but the fact its happening so much at this stage of the season needs looking into.

They signed 4 players last week from higher placed sides.

Ashley Fuller from Holbeach, Warren Garcia from Leighton Town, Stefan Powell and Andrew Osei-Sirbour both from Hitchin.

I can see why they were happy to let Scott Joseph go - and am even more certain we need to fully focus on tomorrow's game. Fuller and Osei-Sirbour were team-mates at K*ttering last season.

They'll be all disjointed and disorganised then won't they? ;)

Let's focus on all our pluses, we're a good team when we're at it - let's not worry about other teams, on paper they're a tough side, but then so were Thurnby and look what happened there. We're at home and I'm confident we can beat anyone at the Dog !!

Really looking forward to what I'm expecting to be a competitive match !!

Weather forecast today looks ok - some light showers around during the day, but clear around game time. Note it is quite a bit colder this evening than of late, so bring layers (and/or hip flasks).
