Sheppey manager Jack Midson isn’t afraid to make tough decisions for the good of the team. Midson made a couple of changes to the side which lost 4-1 at Three Bridges in Isthmian South East last Tuesday and his team bounced back on Saturday, reversing that scoreline with a 4-1 win against East Grinstead.
Brad Schafer was one of those to drop to the bench but he came on as a substitute, performing well and scoring twice late on to seal the points.
Warren Mfula had put Sheppey ahead from the penalty spot and although East Grinstead levelled shortly after the restart, Mamadou Diallo restored the lead before Schafer’s late double. “You can’t keep everyone happy,” Midson said. “Jake (Embery) and Brad were disappointed but it was for the good of the team.
Jake came on and worked hard and Brad got two vital goals. Everyone played their part. “It was a kick in the teeth (to be dropped) but I don’t think anyone could complain.
