Slough Town v Braintree Town
The Iron head for Berkshire this Saturday to take on Slough Town who are one place below them in the League table (20th). Having said that, Slough, along with Havant & Waterlooville have played the least games so far in the League having managed just ten matches so far. Five home games and five away games have yielded two wins, three draws and five defeats leaving them on nine points; that is one less than Braintree who have played fourteen games.
Slough Town finished up in fifth place in the League last season. Their top scorers were Ben Harris with twelve goals, Dan Roberts with eleven Warren Harris and Matt Lench (now at Wealdstone) both with nine.
The season started well for Slough with a F. A. Cup win over Danny Searle’s Aldershot Town by two goals to one. They then travelled to Kent to overcome Dartford with a one-nil win before finally succumbing to Bath City at home by two goals to one.
Dartford would gain revenge for their F. A. Cup defeat by knocking Slough out of the Trophy. The two sides were level two-two after ninety minutes, the Darts going through six-five on penalties.
At home in the League this season their results to date are (latest game last): Won 2-1 v Hemel Hempstead Town, Drew 4-4 v Welling United, Won 2-1 v Bath City, Lost 2-3 v Maidstone United, Lost 1-3 v Hungerford Town.
Max Worsfield and Paul Hodges have both found the net three times this season, Warren Harris has two goals and eight other players have one goal.
When the two sides met at Arbour Park on 7 December 2019, the home side took all three points with an 83rd minute winner from Matt Lench.
Last Tuesday evening Braintree suffered their tenth defeat of the season in a close game with Oxford City. Correy Davidson scored his second Braintree goal to give the Iron the lead, but City came back to lead two-one at half time. Despite a good effort from the lads in the second half, City hung on to claim all the points.
Difficult to call this game, Slough are unbeaten in three home games against the Iron, but they haven’t played a competitive match since that Trophy defeat on 15 December 2020. Hopefully Ryan’s boys can take advantage of some match rustiness.
