Re: Player news
I know it has been discussed somewhere on here but starting to have the same feeling about the squad as last season. Don't know who is who on the pitch
Re: Player news
Difference is these are our permanent signings so will not disappear after a couple of weeks

Re: Player news
I get why you would say that however personally I disagree with this as the majority of the starting 11 will remain the same. Most of Dowse's signings won't play one game and then leave like last season. Plus if players are playing well they won't get dropped/rotated out like last season.
Specifically on these two signings, I don't think reinforcements at this stage are a bad thing at all. With Jearnade going on international duty and the unknown situation with Tommy Block I think a defensive signing was a must even if it's just for cover. One injury/suspension and we were in trouble.
With regards to the midfield I guess depth isn't a bad thing especially as Luke has recurring issues with injuries this season and that is the one area I think we have struggled with this season. I would be surprised if we signed anyone else at this point.
They also look like permanent signings? So could have one eye on next season already ensuring we have a good base to build from going into pre season.

Re: Player news
As long as these players get us promoted this season then I really don’t care. These seem to be stronger players than what we brought in previously so it can only be a good thing.
Fans have constantly been asking lately where are the new players and Dowse has finally managed to get them in.
Well Done Dowse & welcome to the new players.
Re: Player news
Very fair replies. I want anyone who joins to do well but hard to keep up sometimes. Old age! No-one will care how many players we have used this season when we win the playoffs

Richard Chin joins on loan from Charlton.

Bloody hell, you daren't blink.
Re: Player news
My Charlton mate tells me Chin is a LB but can also play RB.
Dowse has done very well today, we now have plenty of cover for the important run-in.

Re: Player news
Think Bobby Dunn’s from Bromley, or that way anyway. He was certainly at Bromley FC as a youth. My boy played with him for a year at Sevenoaks Town, as well as against him a few times. Bobby went Sevenoaks for the last year of U18s (and was back there briefly last year, I think). Think he was a bit of a glory hunter, loud, wouldn’t pass, and wanted the game to be the Bobby Dunn show. Wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but I did tell a few dads that it’s up to coaches to deal with him properly as he is undoubtedly a good footballer, and has that self-belief and…gets noticed. Anyway, that was a couple of years ago, so whether all that translates into adult football and the National League South - who knows?

Re: Player news
My mate who is a Charlton season ticket holder has said the same, he’s an excellent left back who has just extended his contract until Summer 2024 with Charlton. He said he’s a good potential for their 1st team he just needs minutes.
Look forward to the run in to the season and then the play off’s.

Re: Player news
Just checking, what’s the limit on the amount of loan players you can have at any one time?
I can’t remember what it was but just wondering as we currently have 4 now that I can think of UNLESS any have gone back and I’ve either not seen it or missed it.

Re: Player news
Not sure if i've got this right mate but i seem to recall hearing you are allowed five loan players named in a matchday squad, so:-The 5th Searcher wrote: ↑Thu Mar 23, 2023 7:21 pm Just checking, what’s the limit on the amount of loan players you can have at any one time?

Isaac Ogundere - Loan
Richard Chin - Loan
Jack Smith - Loan
Malachi Napa - Loan
Harvey Bradbury - Loan
Emmanuel Adebowale i believe was a free agent.
Bobby Dunn - According to Sheffield Wednesday has left them for a permanent deal with us.
Can anyone confirm if that is correct??
