Time to forget the FA Trophy and time for AFC to concentrate on the Bostik League North and attempt to climb up the table. Sitting in sixteenth place at the moment, the FA Cup and FA Trophy ties have given AFC some games in hand on those around them. What is important of course is to not waste the opportunity to gain on the teams around them.

There have been a number of comings and goings during the week, Tevan Allen and Jake Turner departing, and Billy Holland, Joe Whight and Joe Maybanks arriving. Young Ben Hunter also made his first team debut during the week, when the side ended up with seven AFC Academy boys on the pitch.

Just what the line up will be remains to be seen but one thing to be sure is there will be no lack of effort from anyone as they seek to impress the new management team.

The opposition Romford have had a not very good start to the season, but made the long trip midweek to Norwich United and came away with a well deserved point. They will be looking to build upon it to get away from near the foot of the table.
