Tomorrow, Luke Garrard’s side are on the road for the second time within the space of a week as we head to Greater Manchester to face Altrincham, kicking-off at 15:00.
A side often contending for a place in the play-offs, Alty came close to having a chance of playing in the Football League once again last term.
They finished four points off of Southend United in the final play-off place having finished in fourth place in the previous campaign, losing out to eventual winners Bromley at the semi-final stage.
An electric forward who made a name for himself in a successful five-year spell at Crewe Alexandra, Charlie Kirk signed for Altrincham in the summer following spells with several EFL sides. The 27-year-old’s impressive showings at Gresty Road caught the attention of Charlton Athletic yet failed to make a lasting impression with the Addicks as stints at Blackpool, Burton Albion and Barrow followed.
It was an evening to forget in Hertfordshire on Tuesday night as we suffered a 3-1 defeat to fellow promotion hopefuls Scunthorpe United. A Charlie O’Connell own goal as well as strikes from Callum Roberts and Zain Westbrooke in the first-half did the damage as the Iron took a three-goal half-time lead. Luke Norris’ fifth league goal of the campaign six minutes from time wasn’t enough to spark a late comeback.
We hosted Neil Gibson’s side in September in the reverse fixture and a dominant 3-1 victory followed. Erico Sousa netted a ten-minute brace before Zak Brunt converted from the penalty spot to give the Wood a commanding lead at the break. Jimmy Knowles looked to turn the tide with 58 minutes on the clock but the Wood held on to secure the three points.
