High Standards Hand Glovers A Very Strong Start

The Glovers are the National League’s form side thanks to four wins on the spin, a surge up the table which has taken the team lacking life early on this campaign up into fourth.

The Somerset side have seen off the challenge of Sutton United, Notts County, FC Halifax and AFC Fylde over the last few weeks - but the manager is still not totally happy!

Hard-to-please Sarll called element of the final 20 minutes against Fylde “disgusting” and didn’t enjoy things being out of his team’s hands.

Now he is looking for straight win number five on Saturday at Solihull Moors, a team who have taken just one point from a possible 15.

“It’s a fantastic feeling winning games,” the manager said. “You can’t beat it. We were aggressive and there is a really great feeling amongst the squad.

“Last week against FC Halifax we were brilliant and in patches in the first half (against Fylde) I would say we were brilliant as well.

“But there is always room for improvement. From 70 minutes onwards we weren’t in control - that’s not nice, because everyone knows I am a control freak!

“I love winning games of football and we’re on a good little run right now.

“We’re training really well too, but even our fitness levels are going to need to improve.”

Few people know what to expect after falling out of the EFL, but perhaps going under the radar has helped the new manager - a 19-point return as we edge towards the quarter mark this weekend is rich reward for their positive approach.

Keep that strike rate up, and they give themselves a real chance of doing something very rare - returning to League Two at the first time of asking.

“Nobody is looking too far ahead and we’ve got a lot of difficult matches ahead of us,” he added.

“But you’ve got to enjoy the good moments you find yourself in. You should never lose the joy of winning.”
