Stratford Town players held private meeting to "stop excuses", says captain Will Grocott

CAPTAIN Will Grocott revealed the Stratford Town players had recently held a private meeting so the group could “stop making excuses and get on with it”.

The 31-year-old midfielder told the Herald that the get-together was a chance for everyone to share their opinions on what’s been going wrong and what needs to be done to get the Bards, who currently sit in 20th, out of the Southern Premier Central drop zone.

Grocott said that it was refreshing to see the younger members of the group opening up and sharing their thoughts on what has been a difficult season so far, and not just the experienced heads.
