The Opposition

It’s been a steady start to the season for Cray Wanderers, who head into Tuesday night’s fixture 7th in the Isthmian Premier Division on 24 points, outside the playoffs on goal difference.

The Wands have only lost two league games out of 16 so far this season (to Brentwood Town and Dartford), but have only five wins to their name with nine draws – the most in the division.

Cray have drawn their last six away fixtures in the league and remain unbeaten away from home so far.

The Manager

Tim O’Shea took charge of Cray Wanderers in March when Neil Smith departed to take up the role of assistant manager at Crawley Town before taking the job permanently a month later.

One To Watch

Alex Hernandez has six goals to his name so far this season – all in the Isthmian Premier Division. The 22-year-old forward has over 60 appearances in the National League South to his name for Concord Rangers and Aveley.

Recent Meetings

The sides drew 1-1 when we met at Flamingo Park on the first week of the season, Kweku Lucan getting the final touch to an equaliser after Nodirbek Bobomurodov had opened the scoring for Cray Wanderers.

Invicta took all three points when we hosted The Wands last season, Dan Smith scoring the only goal of the game before Jonny Henly saved a second half penalty.
