Re: Player news
Welcome to Lewis, a welcome addition to the squad.
Echo the comments from others, we have let go an outstanding goalkeeper in Wilks, I was amazed he did not go and play in a higher level when we re signed him last season.
Definitely one of the best keepers we have had in the last twenty years in my opinion, I can only think of Marcus B, as a rival. However I hope Ben proves me wrong, if of course he re -signs.

Re: Player news
Just watched the highlights of the Concord match to see Lewis in action. Big guy, who didn't have to do a lot to score against us that night. Still, he looks okay as long as he stays clear of injury. But seeing the defending on the second and third goals I say to Dowse, more quality defenders please. Also, the way Ben was flapping around that night, has Dowse done the right thing in letting Dan slip the net? We shall see.
If we manage to get Ben to sign on for next season all well and good, as long as he doesn't play a lot of games similar to that night. If we don't get him the search will be interesting to see who we do get between the sticks. Cos there's not a lot of Julians or Bettinelli's out there, or come to that Wilks.

Re: Player news
Whoever we sign to play up front I really hope we retain Charlie as there is always room for class
Any striker playing for us can learn from Charlie
His movement is a joy to watch
I am not knocking Harvey but just say that when a ball is played into space Harvey reacts too slow and rarely runs onto the ball successfully
There is no reason why any striker at this level cannot learn from Charlie
And dare I say it Charlie is a manager in the making

Re: Player news
I agree with Rambo's comments on Charlie Sheringham and can see him in an impact striker role as he still has the class but maybe not for 46 games , as for Lewis he is 31 and played all his time at a lower level than NLS but he says its a dream move to a bigger Club and he will be hungry to do well , lets hope he stays injury free and able to play the majority of the 46+ games , Tony Burman had a great track record of getting [ hungry] players from[ at least] a league below eg Hayes , Burns, Noble etc and look how well that turned out
One thing for sure IF Lewis gives 100% alongside Harvey and the goals flow then PP could rock !!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Player news
He’s not a loss at all, he didn’t do anything to impress at all whilst with us considering he came from the league above.
It shows his standard when he’s dropped a level to play regular football.

Cameron Brodie has announced that he has left the club.
Re: Player news
Great to see we signed Harvey on a permanent contract , impressed with him last season , always put in a shift . Top signing in my eyes .

Re: Player news
Shame about Cameron. All the hype about one of the first to sign last summer under Dowse. Never got the chance.
All the best Cameron for your next season and beyond.

Re: Player news
Another player I'm happy to see stay. A very good season last year and can definitely build on that
My main concern at the moment is we have no news on Bonner or Samir. I'd have thought those would've been the first two to get confirmed.

Re: Player news
Might be ok regarding Bonner. Think he was pictured (with Ronnie Vint) on Bradley Dack's stag-do... So likely to be out of the country at the momentMark Sweet wrote: ↑Mon May 22, 2023 3:35 pm Another player I'm happy to see stay. A very good season last year and can definitely build on that

Re: Player news
Glad Max is staying, think he got caught away a few times last season but he is only young and I'm sure he will learn,

Samir
Luke C
Jenade Meade
Ben D
Luke Allen
Conner Essam
Kieran M
Alex Wall
