Adjetey-Brew named on the October Player of the Month shortlist as Worthing visit Scunthorpe
Wednesday 11 November 2026 · By Rachel Ogden
Cory Adjetey-Brew, the 18-year-old Queens Park Rangers loanee, is on the National League’s October Player of the Month shortlist as Worthing prepare to visit 23rd-placed Scunthorpe United on Saturday. The shortlist, published by the club on 5 November and now readable in full, names four players: Adjetey-Brew, Aaron Blair of Eastleigh, Morgan Feeney of Carlisle United and Zak Brunt of Boreham Wood. The club described Adjetey-Brew as having "five for the season including an impressive three assists". The winner had not been announced by the morning of 11 November.
Worthing are sixth on 28 points from 16 matches, in the play-off places on goal difference among the three clubs locked on that total. Yeovil Town lead that group on plus 15, Worthing are next on plus 7, and Altrincham hold seventh with a goal difference of zero. Adam Hinshelwood’s side had no FA Cup tie last weekend, and no league match has been played since 31 October, so the midweek has been quiet.
Scunthorpe, with 10 points from 15 matches, are seven points from safety and have lost their last five league games, according to the BBC form line of WLLLLL. They remain under the interim charge of Jacob Butterfield and Ross Barrows. The visit still demands a serious performance, but it is an opportunity for Worthing to put space between themselves and the sides immediately below the cut, Carlisle on 26 and Barrow on 25.
After Scunthorpe, Worthing host Harrogate Town on 21 November, visit Woking at 7.45pm on Tuesday 24 November, and host Boston United on 5 December. Woking, 12th on 21 points, have a free Saturday this weekend because their home game with Forest Green Rovers is still postponed, with no new date announced.
First place is promoted automatically, and second to seventh contest the play-offs. The four-point gap from Southend and Fylde on 29 down to Carlisle on 26 means that a productive fortnight would strengthen Worthing’s hold on a top-seven place before the December programme begins.
The BBC table, last updated at 11:13 on 9 November, still shows Worthing 6th on 28 points from 16 matches, with a record of 8 wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats. They have scored 32 and conceded 25, for a goal difference of plus 7. Those numbers have not changed since 31 October, because no National League fixture has been played in this window. The FA Cup, National League Cup and county cups do not count in the standings. Worthing occupy a play-off place.
The next league round is on Saturday 14 November, not an FA Trophy weekend. The scheduled matches are Carlisle against Boston, Eastleigh against Fylde, Gateshead against Barrow, Harrogate against Altrincham, Hartlepool against Wealdstone, Hornchurch against Tamworth, Kidderminster against Halifax, Scunthorpe against Worthing, Southend against Aldershot, Sutton against Solihull, and Yeovil against Boreham Wood. Woking against Forest Green, originally listed for that afternoon, is still postponed, with no new date announced. Gateshead against Tamworth also remains without a date.

Plan is schematic and roughly to scale. North is at the top. Goals sit in front of the West Stand and East Terrace.
Woodside Road — now sponsored as the Sussex Transport Community Stadium — is a compact, residential ground a short walk from Worthing and West Worthing stations. For visiting supporters it is a proper non-league day out: close to the action, easy to reach by rail, and recently expanded so more of the bowl is under cover. Capacity is in the region of 4,000 after the new North Stand opened, with the pitch an artificial 3G surface.
Turnstiles sit on the eastern side, off Woodside Road itself. There is no dedicated matchday car park at the ground. Street parking in the surrounding roads is limited and tightly watched; please do not block driveways. The club points visitors towards Queen Street Car Park (BN14 7BJ), about a 10–15 minute walk. Public transport is the better option. From Worthing station it is roughly ten minutes on foot via South Farm Road and Pavilion Road. West Worthing is a similar stroll. Cycle racks are available if you come that way.
The layout is simple once you are inside. The South Stand is the main seated stand, raised and central along the southern touchline, with the club bar and changing rooms beneath. Opposite, the North Stand is a long covered terrace running most of the length of the pitch — about 90 metres by 6 metres deep — and is the biggest single block of standing. Behind the western goal is the covered West Stand terrace (the Chris Biggs Stand), shorter than the full width of the pitch. Behind the eastern goal, facing Woodside Road, is the East Terrace, part covered, with the main entrances immediately outside.
Goals therefore sit in front of the West Stand and the East Terrace, not the North or South stands. That matters if you like watching from behind the net: west is the dedicated end terrace; east is the street end and the usual way in. When segregation is used — it is decided fixture by fixture, and more common for bigger visiting followings — away supporters are typically housed in the north-east corner, with their own food and drink. On quieter days the ground is mixed and you can move around more freely. Check the club’s matchday notes before you travel.
Food and drink are club-run hatches plus rotating outside traders; expect pies, chips and the usual matchday fare, with vegetarian options usually available in the away area when segregated. There is a fan zone near the turnstiles and a bar in the main stand. Under National League rules, alcohol cannot be consumed in sight of the pitch. Facilities have improved with the new north-west corner building (toilets and a food and beverage point). Accessible viewing exists at pitch level, including wheelchair spaces at the front of the North Stand; book accessible needs in advance through the club.
Atmosphere is lively without being hostile on most visits. Cover is now much better than it was a few years ago, but the South Stand still does not run the full length and parts of the east side remain more open. Arrive early if you want a particular spot on a terrace — turnstiles often open 90 minutes to two hours before kick-off. Buy tickets in advance where the club offers an away allocation; prices sit in the typical National League band and change by category and fixture. Stewards will search bags. Standard ground rules apply: no glass, flares, fireworks or large poles.
Treat the streets around the ground as someone’s home, because they are. Walk in from the station, use the recommended car park if you must drive, and you will find Woodside Road a straightforward, well-run ground with a clear view of both goals from the ends and a long covered sideline if the weather turns.
