Fisher returned to league action and winning ways with an emphatic 5-1 win over Punjab United under the lights at a wet St Paul’s Sports Ground. Having been knocked out of two cups on the last two Saturday’s, Fisher were keen to revive their play-off hopes and turned in a five star performance to reverse Saturday’s result, when the same opponents knocked them out the FA Vase.  Fisher rung the changes with Sha’mar Lawson promoted to starting slot and there was a return on the wing for Armani-Jordan Martin after his return from Hythe Town, along with a debut for new centre back Jake Adams with Conor Darwish back at left back and Alez Kozak out wide.
After just six minutes it looked as if Saturday might repeat itself as a deep corner swung in from the left was headed back across the six yard box and Jack Hopkins pounced to slam the ball into the roof of the net and give Punjab the lead. It was the exact start Fisher did not want but they quickly got back on level terms with a wonder strike from Sha’mar Lawson. Picking the ball up just outside the centre circle after good work on the left from Darwish, he took a touch to get it out of his feet and then from fully thirty five yards planted the ball like a rocket , with minimal back lift, into the top right corner giving the keeper absolutely no chance of keeping it out, for as good a finish as many have seen at St Paul’s. Two minutes later Fisher capped a frenetic opening quarter of an hour by taking the lead. A series of quick passes down the left opened up the visitors’ defence and set up Kozak whose shot was only half-cleared and Armani-Jordan Martin cleanly met the ball on the edge of the area to thread it low just wide of the keeper and inside the post.
Fisher continued to press eager to add to their tally, with a couple of long range efforts flying wide and cross come shot from Festos Kamara fizzing across the goal, whilst Punjab looked continually dangerous from set pieces and long throws, but Fisher’s defence had learnt their lessons with Isaac Ogunseri showing good hands or punching when the box was crowded. Two late efforts in the half saw Lorenzo Duncan, an early substitute after AJ Martin had been forced off following a heavy challenge, get his head to crosses from Fisher’s busy wingers, but both were directed at the keeper, who saved easily.
The second half started has energetically as the first with both sides looking to press forward. Punjab through they had got the game back on level terms early on as a low cross from Edwards was flicked towards the near post and Ogunseri saw his effort to keep it out come back to him off the inside off the post and into his hands with the forwards claiming the ball had crossed the line.  Within a minute the game had completely changed as rather than being pegged back Fisher extended their lead. A quick break saw the ball threaded to Kozak in a central position and drew his marker before pushing it to his left for Tom Jones to carry the ball into the area and then delectably chip over the advancing keeper. With their tails up Fisher looked irrepressible going forward on the slick surface and six minutes later Jones had added his second and Fisher’s fourth when spotting a gap at the near post to send a free kick, won centrally just outside the penalty area, low into the corner past the unsighted keeper. Ogunseri then had be on his toes to tip a long range effort away but any chance Punjab had of a late unlikely comeback disappeared with a bizarre sin binning as a substituted player said something on his way off resulting in him still leaving the proceedings but a ten minute delay before his replacement could enter the pitch. The game was then wrapped up for Fisher when Duncan played some clever passing with Salgado on the left to give him some space in the box whereupon he swivelled and sent the ball into the top corner. Having been played at a fast pace the last ten minutes stretched out as both sides awaited the final whistle which on arrival signalled a move up to ninth for Fisher with games in hand on all those above them chasing a play-off spot, very much reigniting the season after the two cup exits.
