Folkestone Invicta boss Jay Saunders reacts as comeback 2-1 win over Potters Bar Town moves side another step towards winning the Isthmian Premier title
Manager Jay Saunders insists his Folkestone players are still not talking about winning the league - with any title talk proving expensive for them!
The Isthmian Premier leaders came from behind through two goals from top scorer Jake Hutchinson in their 2-1 home win over Potters Bar on Saturday to move another stride towards being crowned champions.
Invicta need another 13 points from their final eight fixtures to win the league albeit, with a superior goal difference, another four more victories would almost certainly be enough.

“I have got the boys on fines if they talk about winning the league and, if they talk about other teams, they’re fined! We have just got to concentrate on us.
“We’ll work really hard this week. There’s no nights off, we’ll be in on Tuesday and Thursday, and we’ll go through stuff on Dartford straight away. We know it’ll be a really tough Kent derby.
“I guess, to a degree, you do half have a hand on it. But until you actually have that trophy, you haven’t won anything.

While Sammy Moore’s Potters Bar team sit second-bottom, they put in a plucky performance against Folkestone and went ahead as attacking midfielder Nana Kyei stunned the crowd of 1,259 at Cheriton Road.
But Hutchinson netted twice inside seven second-half minutes, making the most of a mistake by keeper Borja Loeches for his first, to send the home fans away happy.
Saunders reflected: “I don’t think there are going to be any easy games at this stage of the season and I keep saying that in any interviews.
