Elliott's Thoughts

'We are looking to bounce back from a disappointing result on Tuesday when we go to Brackley Town on Saturday.

Our last two performances have been encouraging with plenty of positives, especially from the Leamington game.

We need to make sure that the basics of the game are done really well and we start improving our away form.

We have nearly all the squad training which will be the first time this has happened in a long time.'
