From the Dugout – Luke Garrard
“If we go and put maximum points on the board against Eastleigh and Halifax, in the next two home games, then the point against Gateshead will be looked at as a great point away from home.
“It is about a reaction come Tuesday, I know that Eastleigh didn’t played on Saturday due to a waterlogged pitch at their place, so they will be fresh, but it is about regrouping and going again to hopefully get three points.
“Eastleigh haven’t played; does that benefit them? Does that not? For me it is about getting an eleven out there, that I think are the best to go and win a game of football.
“The pitch helps, it is obviously a lovely zippy pitch, under the lights as well. I enjoy games under the lights, because I think that we are sharper and I think that we are brighter.
“I am demanding that they perform better than they did do on Saturday, if we can regroup on Monday, if we can go again and if we can get a clean sheet on the board, then I think that we can go and win games of football.”
