Match Preview

Blues return to the scene of their impressive 3-1 Trophy win back in September when they meet Felixstowe & Walton in a League encounter tomorrow. That afternoon saw a brace from Joao Carlos his second of Blues three an unstoppable volley with Ade Cole adding a third, Jack Ainsley scoring a consolation for the home side. No doubt the Seasiders will be looking to avenge that defeat and with just two points and three places separate the sides supporters can look forward to a competitive afternoon.

Since the Trophy encounter the Seasiders have experienced a difficult time in the league with a creditable 4-2 win at Barking last week their only victory following reverses against AFC Sudbury and Heybridge Swifts and a draw at Tilbury. In contrast Blues have only a disappointing defeat at Coggeshall Town to mar their league form after wins against Great Wakering, Soham Town and Tilbury. Leading hit men for the Seasiders are Jack Ainsley and Miles Powell.

Blues have seen a change of personnel in recent weeks with fans favourite Kieran Bishop returning after a brief spell at big spending Coggeshall Town marking his season debut with a goal last week against Tilbury. Fellow striker Tommy Wade has also returned from Hertford Town but has yet to make a full debut due to illness and family commitments.Also joining the ranks is ex Gillingham and Notts County midfielder Charlie Allen,-son of Martin Allen , all three could feature tomorrow. Blues will be looking to continue their upturn in league form that has seen them rise up the table to sit just below the play off places.
