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.
âWeâve picked up momentum and we want to continue like a ârolling stoneâ, where we keep going through the games, winning them, and picking up points,â said Andrew.
âIâve started slowly, but Iâm building up momentum too. I feel good, I feel fit and itâs just a matter of knocking one into the net now.
âFor any striker, it feels like a slight âmonkey on the backâ, but as soon as you get your first goal in a season, they âcome along like London busesâ.
âMy career has been plagued with injuries, so this is my opportunity to try and show people what Iâm about. In football, you are always trying to prove yourself.â
Andrew, who won promotion from League Two with Port Vale last term, also believes that Saturdayâs match at Newport County will be a good indicator of our progress.
He continued: âThe fact that both teams have made a good start shows that the jump between the two divisions [League Two and Conference Premier] isnât that great.
âI donât really tend to think about rivals. We take it every game as it comes and from what Iâve seen so far, there is no reason why we shouldnât beat anyone in this league.
âWeâve got the squad, weâve got the set-up and weâve got the backing to do it. Weâre confident that we can beat most teams in this league, and weâre willing to prove it.â
