This is a massive game today.
Before the Chester and Barnet games my confidence was starting to dwindle, some may disagree with me but I felt as though we were on a bad run and the performances weren't great nor were the results.
However, Tuesday night I thought we were absolutely brilliant, and I don't just mean the team but the fans were loud and proud and behind the team before the game started. Well what else do you expect? Our backs were against the wall against a team at the top of the league. Rovers fans always seem to show their true colours in these games and didn't let us down Tuesday night. You could see the way this translated onto the pitch with a high energy performance from the first whistle. It was the best performance from a Rovers side I had seen for years and haven't felt as proud as that since promotion from league two.
Now comes the potential banana skin against a Welling side who are unbeaten in their last 3. We as fans have a tendency to go into these games with a complacency that we just need to turn up. Then after 10 minutes and it's still 0-0, the crowd gets frustrated and starts turning and these frustrations start to translate themself onto the pitch. We must not do this today. We need to give the boys our full support from the first minute to the last to give us the best chance of putting in a performance like Tuesday night. We need to treat this game like we are playing another Barnet. We MUST NOT turn up thinking we are just going to turn over another part time team.
As a Barnet fan said on their forum, that last minute goal had a momentum shifting feel about it. But now is the time where we really need to capitalise on it.
This is the time where we can and need to kick on!!!
So come on gas, let's now put this division to the sword!!!!
UTG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
