We enjoyed our last game against Peterborough, with a win that sent us top of the league.
We came from behind in that game, back in January, and I scored the winner in a 2-1 victory at Priestfield.
If we can get three points again on Saturday, then I will be happy.
Barring the Bolton game, we are on a good run of form, climbing the table and getting closer and closer towards the play-offs.
We’re top half now and if we can put a few results together and take away a good amount of points over Christmas, then we will be well set for the second half of the season.
Peterborough is a fairly local game and there is always a good atmosphere. They are a good team and score a lot of goals and they have got some good players but on paper, I would back us against any team.
I am pretty much there now fitness-wise and hopefully it stays like that.
Repeating what happened last season is hard to do but hopefully now I’m over the injuries and I can have a go at getting some more goals. It has taken a while and it has been tough, it is hard to come out for a few games and then go back in, to get a rhythm going.
I have to try and improve what I’ve done before and there are parts of my game I have improved.
It has been tough through injuries to get match fit, which has been frustrating but now I am over it and hopefully we can go on a good run of form, with me included in that.
It was nice to get the assist for the winner last Saturday and it would have been nice to have got a goal myself. I went close and still don’t know how their centre-half has managed to get it off the line. It was a great clearance.
They didn’t really threaten our goal, expect the penalty. At the time I didn’t think it was a penalty but after seeing it back, I can see where the referee was coming from in giving it. I still thought it was soft and he went down easily.
It was a great save from Stuart Nelson who has a decent record here of saving them.
We had done a penalty shoot-out the day before in a five-a-side after two teams had the same points. He saved a couple in that game (he was on my team luckily and I managed to score one) and the boys were saying that’s what helped him save one in the game.
That save against MK Dons gave us the momentum to do what we did in the second half. We controlled the game and I don’t think he had another save to make.
We head to the Medway Maritime Hospital every year and it’s a lovely thing to do, to see the kids and try and put a smile on their faces.
Some of them are pretty poorly and it’s not nice for them to be in there at Christmas. We hopefully helped cheer them up when we visited on Monday.
