Whitstable Town FC

Whitstable Town captain Marcos Perona speaking after the clubs best run of results since they gained promotion.  Town defeated Sittingbourne 3-2 last night at Bourne Park in a very entertaining match, their third win in a row.

“There were people who not only question my position as captain, an honour I might add to captain Whitstable, and one I am immensity proud of, but also my place in the side. I have kept my counsel along with the rest of the players and we have answered them in the best possible way, with results on the pitch.

Of course we knew it was going to be a tough season but all us players know we have the backing of the manager and that is so important when week in week out you go onto the pitch trying your best to get the right result. I can only play my game with the right players around me, for me the addition of Clint Gooding has made such a difference, but that’s not just me, it’s the same for all the lads.

Look at the results since we have had a settled side, I think that’s four games in a row Marc has named an unchanged side, tough on the lads sitting it out but again, look at the strength on the bench, players that can come on and change the game.

Marc set us a safety target of 40 points, we have achieved over that with five games to go and are aiming to finish as high as we can come the last day of the season.”
