From The Gaffer
Allsebrook said: “We were outstanding for 90 minutes last weekend against a tough MK Dons side; every player contributed to the win. Khalsa are a good side in the division; they are very competitive who gave us a really good game last year. We know it will be a difficult game but we have to build on the momentum that we have and do the right things on the pitch.
“I’m really pleased about the goals conceded column because that’s something we highlighted earlier on in the season; it’s something we’ve really addressed and have only conceded one goal in our last three games. It shows how far the back-line have come and how well the team is pressing.”
