Andrew: We've generated momentum

5 September 2013

Striker Calvin Andrew believes that our team have generated momentum in recent weeks, which will stand us in good stead for the rest of the campaign.

Following the opening day loss at Scunthorpe United, our side are now unbeaten in four matches and currently sit on the fringes of the League Two Play-Off zone.

ā€œWeā€™ve picked up momentum and we want to continue like a ā€˜rolling stoneā€™, where we keep going through the games, winning them, and picking up points,ā€ said Andrew.

ā€œIā€™ve started slowly, but Iā€™m building up momentum too. I feel good, I feel fit and itā€™s just a matter of knocking one into the net now.

ā€œFor any striker, it feels like a slight ā€˜monkey on the backā€™, but as soon as you get your first goal in a season, they ā€˜come along like London busesā€™.

ā€œMy career has been plagued with injuries, so this is my opportunity to try and show people what Iā€™m about. In football, you are always trying to prove yourself.ā€

Andrew, who won promotion from League Two with Port Vale last term, also believes that Saturdayā€™s match at Newport County will be a good indicator of our progress.

He continued: ā€œThe fact that both teams have made a good start shows that the jump between the two divisions [League Two and Conference Premier] isnā€™t that great.

ā€œI donā€™t really tend to think about rivals. We take it every game as it comes and from what Iā€™ve seen so far, there is no reason why we shouldnā€™t beat anyone in this league.

ā€œWeā€™ve got the squad, weā€™ve got the set-up and weā€™ve got the backing to do it. Weā€™re confident that we can beat most teams in this league, and weā€™re willing to prove it.ā€
