Paul Collicutt says anyone who thinks Evesham United have underachieved this season is mistaken according to the Gloucestershire Echo.

Winchester City’s 1-1 draw at Slimbridge on Wednesday mathematically ended Evesham’s hopes of another play-off appearance, despite an excellent second half to the campaign.

They round it off at Marlow tomorrow (3pm), when a win will guarantee sixth place ahead of Shortwood United.

 

“People talk and some will be saying we have underachieved, but I disagree and I think we overachieved last season,” Collicutt said.

“We were a surprise package and when you reach the play-offs expectations go up.

“We didn’t make a great start and we’ve always been chasing, but we have taken it to the last but one game.”

Collicutt is without the injured Lance Smith and Lewis Binns for the season finale, while midfielder Ashley Williams will take two to three months to recover from medial ligament damage.

Top scorer Adam Mann and midfielder Liam Harding both missed training on Tuesday, but Collicutt is hoping they can be considered to face Marlow.

“I am already planning for next season and I have a few names in mind,” Collicutt said.

“We will be a bit short on Saturday, but we want to go to Marlow and give it our best shot and try to enjoy it.”
