Re: Tonbridge Home Saturday

Yes, and so the conveyor belt begins...how I hope we don't just turn into a rehab unit for Barnet et al's crocked players, only to see them recalled just as they get fit and become useful again.

Re: Pitch Inspection....

Always looked likely, but a shame for Batesy not to get a final game in charge. I assume the owners' Q&A is also off? The Q&A is indeed off, according to Twitter. Q&A would work better when not distractions of a match anyway, and not away fans in attendance, would be good to have it sch...

Re: Oxford City 1-1

Thought it was a pretty drab first half but livened up a fair bit in the second. We had a real go twenty mins or so from the end but never really carved out anything that clear cut. I think we'd have all taken a point beforehand given the current situation though surely?

Re: Miller Rodney

There was always the danger of this happening given that we now have this transition period. But I expect there will be wholesale changes and you can't blame players for wanting to find a more secure berth.

Yeah it is a bit odd that he isn't coming straight away...maybe he has to give notice or something?

Re: Manager appointment

Coaching is one thing but does he have the contacts to attract the right sort of player at our level? Ian MacDonald came in as a highly rated coach but all his player contacts were out of our league and budget. I guess the new man has been given some additional budget to play with. The appointment ...

Re: Manager appointment

Well I'm guessing none of us saw that one coming. It does seem like a slightly risky appointment to me, as others have said surely we need someone who knows the division inside out and who knows good players we can afford. All the liaising with the academy stuff and bringing players through is a nic...

Re: Liam Vincent

That's a huge loss, he's been one of our better players recently. Shame.

Re: Q&A with the brothers saturday .

A quirk of fixtures and reorganised games etc has given us 3 home games in a row. This is a great opportunity to get a few points on the board and move towards safety. It's more than a bit calamitous if we don't have someone in permanant charge for these, no disrespect intended to Steve Bates. It's ...

Re: Q&A with the brothers saturday .

Yes, I'd been wondering if the new manager might have been announced today. There's still time I suppose but a Friday announcement would seem unlikely, unless they're being unveiled to the players first at training tonight maybe? Who knows. I'm still slightly surprised that they didn't have someone ...
