Beveree Chat

Comfortable in the end but the game was in the balance until our third goal despite Taunton being down to 10 men. After a bright start and an early goal from Donaldson, Taunton looked the more dangerous going forward with Julian called upon to make some vital saves. Their goal from a corner was heav...

Not much more to say except we did defend the aerial bombardment pretty well until the got their break. Looked like a 0-0 nailed on. Ironically they scored when we were bit more of a threat but as has already been said we couldn’t get up the pitch enough to keep the pressure off.

If Barzey and Comley are also on international duty then we will have lost four players from the squad since last week. Doesn’t leave much cover if we pick up injuries or suspensions.

David Fisher recalled by AFCW. Not hugely helpful given Clifton misses the next two games. Rowe who has disappeared somewhat in recent weeks may get a chance to shine. Not sure that Barzey has been called up so may see him more involved.

Step 5 and below has a different deadline.

Transfer deadline day today I believe. Will we see any activity?

The point of stats is that you look at performance over a longer period to see the trends. We all have an off day but that shouldn't skew the trends that much. We need to find a stat that says never missed a penalty!

Club is advertising for a part time analyst to report to the First Team Manager and Head of Football Operations. At present I am guessing Mel fills both those roles but this suggests that we may see two people in place for next season. I know Mel is very focused on data analysis when recruiting and ...

Results went ok for us tonight with Chippenham and Taunton winning and Weymouth, Slough and Welling losing, Cheshunt drawing. Welling in big trouble.

I am sure that if Mel sees out the season strongly then he will be in a good position to seek an improved budget and frankly, if we have ambitions to push for promotion, we are going to need a bigger budget. And let’s not forget he will have a wider role at the club where he might want some investme...

Apart from Clifton and Thomas it’s basically the same side who couldn’t buy a win for two months. Suddenly injuries aren’t the same problem and we’ve benefitted a bit there. Having Fernandez playing a string of consecutive games has been a big plus. Players like Wishart, Whittingham, Kurran-Browne, ...

Shows what confidence and good coaching can bring to a side. Decent players playing to their potential.
