Darryl Evans’ Thoughts Ahead of Bank Holiday Monday
We spoke to Darryl Evans ahead of tomorrows Bank Holiday Monday fixture against Alton at the Easy As HGV Stadium!
As we prepare to face Alton once more, I want to take a moment to reflect on our journey so far and set the tone for this crucial Bank Holiday Combined Counties league match.
Our previous encounters with Alton have shown us both their resilience and our potential. In the FA Cup, we experienced a tough 1-1 draw away from home, a match that demanded every ounce of effort from us. It was a reminder that Alton is a team that won’t back down easily, which is a credit to their players and management staff and they’ll be coming into this match with something to prove.
However, our performance in the replay, a 4-1 victory at home, was nothing short of outstanding. We demonstrated not only our ability to control the game but also the hunger and determination that defines us as a squad. That win was a testament to what we can achieve when we play with focus, energy, and the full support of our incredible fans.
But let’s not become complacent. Alton will be looking for redemption, and they’ll bring everything they have to this match. It’s up to us to match their intensity and surpass it. We’ve shown that we have the quality to dominate, but football is as much about consistency.
To our players: This game is another opportunity to prove ourselves, to build on our recent successes, and to show that we can maintain our high standards week in and week out. Let’s approach this match with the same mindset that brought us our last victory. Work hard for each other, stay disciplined, and most importantly, enjoy the challenge.
To our fans: Your support has been instrumental in driving the team forward. The energy you bring to the ground lifts the players and creates an atmosphere that opponents fear. Let’s make our home a fortress.
Together, we’ve already achieved great things this season in such a short amount of time, and with your continued support, I’m confident that we’ll keep pushing forward.
Let’s go out there and get the result we all know we’re capable of.
Come on, Fleet!
