Billericay’s yo-yo season continues with a trip to Aveley on Monday evening with Town desperate to achieve some consistency as they strive to pull away from the relegation zone.  With no new injuries to report, Blues boss Brian Statham will look to shuffle his pack for the journey to Mill Field as Town continue a busy period of games.  Aveley come into the game off the back of a 2-0 home win against Maidstone Utd on Saturday which was their first league win in seven games.

Billericay's hopes of putting some daylight between themselves and the relegation zone were hit on Saturday as they produced a limp second half performance to lose against Harrow Borough. It had all started well enough for the Blues as they took an early lead but they quickly lost the initiative and never looked likely to regain it.

BILLERICAY bowed out of this season’s League Cup when a youthful but spirited Blues side went down 2-0 at high flying Concord Rangers on Thursday night.
 
Having beaten league leaders Dartford just 48 hours previously and with a huge league game at home to Harrow on Saturday, Blues boss Brian Statham rang the changes and utilised his squad. Ashley Dumas started his first game since December with Gareth Street and Dave Wareham getting a much needed 90 minutes.

Harrison Chatting and Ryan O'Rawe have today joined Heybridge Swifts on loan for a month.

Speaking on the deal, Brian Statham said: "Both players need a run of games and this is a really good chance for them both to test themselves on a regular basis. The Ryman One league will be a great challenge and we firmly believe this will benefit them and the football club in the long term. Harrison and Ryan are eager to play and I am delighted with their attitudes. We wish them the best of luck and look forward to having them back in due course."

‘Harrow game on Saturday is bigger than Dartford’ says Statham

The Blues go into Saturday’s game at New Lodge with boss Brian Statham warning that Harrow Borough will be offer a test as big as facing the runaway league leaders.

‘This is a bigger game than Dartford as now we need to follow that result with another home win’ said Statham.

Billericay pulled themselves out of the bottom four on Tuesday when a Michael Shinn goal just after half time was enough to give them victory over runaway league-leaders Dartford.

Town boss Brian Statham made two changes following the last minute defeat at Ashford; former Sutton 'keeper Paul Nicholls came in for Andy Walker whilst Simon Thomas' absence meant a recall for Shinn as Billericay reverted to a 4-5-1 formation.
