Having suffered a jolly rogering at the hands of the Royston Potato peelers, it was of great relief that the mighty yellows were able to return to relative normality by spanking Chalfont St Peter Ndlovu all over the boggy wonderland of the San Cherrio hallowed turf.... well, in the 2nd half at least.
Fast forward a week and it's the relatively short trip into West Drayton for episode two of the Uxbridge dilemma. Ahhhhh Uxbridge. Remember that one? When we were creeping over the line, 2-1 up, protecting our 100% home record back at the end of September. Then the ref had an absolute moment of madness and, instead of awarding a free kick for a shoulder charge on our then gk "The Norris", he awarded a goal... foul, handball, ball hadn't crossed the line, linesman hadn't given it.... take your prick.
Other moment of note from that day? One Perry "the Hoffen" Coles had signed with us the morning of that game.... wonder what ever happened to him.
Anyway, 4 and a bit months later and here we go again. Boro off to Honeycroft to avoid the honey trap and try to sure up their frustratingly inconsistent away form and continue their plan B march to topping the playoffs mini league. Only 1 win in 5 on our travels. #wobbly
So what of Uxbridge? Well they've won 3 of 14 at home this season. Yes, 3 of 14. They got their arses handed to them by Royston last time out, granted not as badly as we did, but on paper this should be a game we assert ourselves like a narcissistic ball bag POTUS and take home the spoils.
Team news... Well off the back of Spencer's refreshingly honest post match offering last week, we're expecting a pretty much unchanged offering. The only question seems to be surrounding the enigma of a whirlwind that is John "tiny dancer" Oyenuga. Hopefully he's had a good week and is ready to put on a throwback to those halcyon early days of the season when he was ruining full backs left, right & centre.
To the players who've taken pay cuts or are even playing for free... You're top notch.
With the unfortunate rumblings coming out of Fleet in the last 24 hours though, perhaps our boat race campaign might be gaining a new cox before long.
Not got much else to say... WE'RE RUNNING LATE!!!
theBoroWalk prediction : 4-1 Boro' (Let's hope for a decent ref and no Groundhog day)
