We reveal Blues manager Mark Bentley's programme notes from last Saturdays match against Enfield Town

Although we have got the wins in these mid table teams, I think our levels of performance have not been to the high standards we set ourselves. One big positive though is we have got through the games in very difficult conditions; this could be what we face now with the winter months ahead.

With our young side I'm looking for the few experienced guys to get everyone together and pull them through. I will be looking for more consistency in the League trying to string a few wins together.

The way the League is panning out, three quarters of the teams will feel they have a chance to get amongst the front runners, so consistency is key. We did it last year and I believe we are stronger in terms of squad depth, but that is not to say I am not looking to improve it. We have some good games coming up over the next month or two including an important FA Trophy game on Sunday where we will certainly be looking to progress to the competition proper.

The added bonus at the moment is I have a full squad fit and well which gives me big selection headaches. For the first time I have to make the tough decisions to leave good players out of the squad completely. They get very frustrated which is understandable, but they just have to be patient as there are many games to play and they must be ready to play when called upon again.

Enjoy the game on Sunday and get behind the lads as your support really does help.
