Statistics don't take into account the games played with new arrivals and who is to say Jarvis wouldn't have benefitted from playing with them giving us an even better points haul.

Very true - nevertheless I note that since the injury to Jarvis the team have been playing much more ball to feet so I hope upon his return we do not revert back to target-man hoof-ball.

Which is why I think we don't miss him.

Our opponents on Saturday Hemel Hempstead lost 2-0 tonight at rock bottom Havant & Waterlooville.

That has absolutely no bearing on Saturdays match. Of course I hope that we play well, entertain and win by a decent margin, then everyone will be happy but we have to perform.

Course it has a bearing on Saturdays match. They'll have been embarrassed/given a rollicking for losing that match and will want to up their game to get a result against us.

Also the fact they've played mid week and we haven't, should help us. Earlier in the season teams seemed to have been as fit/motivated as us, however we have upped our intensity the last few games and hopefully this will give us another edge.

In our situation, I'll take any advantage we can.

Hemel Hempstead's match result last night doesn't have any bearing on Saturdays game, an entirely different match on a different day, different ground, different set of circumstances, possibly different conditions also, also must be remembered that last night victory was the 2nd in a row for a very much improved H+W who will now provide a much more stern test for all their upcoming opponents.

The only part of last night's game that may have a bearing on Saturday, is Hemel played midweek whilst our team did not, as said above.
