Wealdstone will aim to maintain their positive momentum as they welcome Southend United to their home ground this Saturday for a National League fixture. The game follows an important single-goal success against Aldershot Town earlier in the week, a 1-0 win on Saturday 24 October where Olufela Olomola scored the decisive goal in the 46th minute. This result is part of a recent run of three wins and two losses in their last five league matches, placing them 18th in the National League with 15 points from four wins, three draws, and seven losses.
Olufela Olomola scored the only goal of that match with a header. He connected with a corner delivered by Aaron Henry shortly after halftime, guiding the ball into the net.
"Wealdstone were full value for their win," Olomola stated post-match. His goal halted a streak of several league matches without a win, offering a key lift in their battle to avoid relegation. The Aldershot goalkeeper later prevented Olomola from adding another, but the one goal was sufficient. This victory was the third in a current three-game winning run, which also included a 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest U21 on Tuesday 20 October, where A. Kaunda scored, and a 3-0 victory against Worthing on Saturday 17 October.
That victory moved the team to 18th position in the standings. They now sit three points above the bottom four, though they remain 23 points behind the league leaders, Boreham Wood. Their season tally shows 18 goals scored and 24 conceded. Their recent performances indicate a clear upswing, having recorded three straight wins after a heavy 6-0 loss to Yeovil Town on Saturday 10 October and a 2-1 defeat at Barrow on Saturday 3 October.
Stuart Maynard's squad now faces a busy schedule, with another home game set for the following Tuesday. Supporters can check the complete fixtures on our website. The lineup that began the Aldershot game saw Long as goalkeeper, defended by Chesters, Francis-Clarke, and Aaron Henry. The midfield consisted of Wells-Morrison, Oni, and Conroy, supporting forwards Olomola and Luke Norris.
Southend travel after sharing the points in a draw with FC Halifax Town last weekend, which positions them in the middle of the table. Their side for that match had Duncan in goal and included Daley-Campbell and Omochere. Wealdstone will hope to leverage their home support and good run to secure more points as they seek consistency. Their next fixture is at home against Solihull Moors on Tuesday 27 October.
