Blues return to action tomorrow after a two week break when they make the short journey to Rookery Hill home of their former landlords East Thurrock United to meet Romford in a Bostik League fixture. Last season Boro proved to be Blues nemesis when they emerged victorious in the two league and one cup encounters, so no doubt Blues will be eager to end that run of results.

Romford enjoyed a great start to the season remaining unbeaten throughout August in both the league and cup and were at one stage sitting atop the fledgling league table. Since those heady days results have been disappointing, their last league win was back in September when they recorded a creditable 2-1 win over Aveley, they now find themselves in nineteenth place with fourteen points from their eighteen games with only Dereham Town sitting below them on the same points tally but Boro have a superior goal difference. Their last outing was on Boxing Day when they went down 4-1 to a rejuvenated Tilbury making it five straight defeats in December. Their leading league goal scorers are Nick Reynolds and Taylor Tobides with three apiece. No doubt they will be keen to end the run of defeats and start to climb the table, one thing is for sure Blues must guard against any complacency taking into consideration their recent run of form which has seen them lose two and draw one of their last three games.

Off the field things have looked much brighter for Boro, like Blues they have been nomads for many years ground sharing with a number of clubs Back in October however came news that their planning application for a new stadium had been approved by Havering Council ( hopefully Blues will be looking for the same good news in the not too distant future).

Blues will be eager to get back to winning ways after their recent winless run, the enforced break helping to recharge the batteries and heal the knocks sustained in recent weeks. The 2-1 defeat at Barking and 1-1 draw against Basildon were both frustrating in terms of missed opportunities but despite these reverses Blues till sit in a comfortable league position and should they win their games in hand then they will again be contenders for a play off place.
