As Ozy mentioned about Lee Noble's silly booking it does mean that he is one booking away from a suspension if he receives another booking by November 30th. The same also applies to Tom Bonner, Elliott Bradbrook and Mark Onyemah (is he injured?).

I couldn't make it to PP yesterday but it is good to read so many positive posts.
Imho we signed too many ordinary players in the summer who simply were not good enough but things have improved recently and it is hopefully coming together
Better players and a lot more commitment is what was required and the outlook
is looking better.
Keep up the good work .

Oh Mr Ozymandias you are so wrong as Park life correctly pointed out I was celebrating our team yesterday. He knows me too well. And that's the point... a team performance. Did any recognise a step up from Elliot in the last 15 when still being 2 - 1 it was dicey. I thought he along with everybody put a shift in once again. Remember everyone Pughy is just around the corner add him to that squad and well i think we will all agree its heading in the right direction

Oh Arthur, you haven't got the hang of this positivity stuff yet have you, LOL.

When it's good, the feedback's good. When it's bad, it's bad. That's all. We made some very bad signings and played some awful football and there was understandable criticism. We appear to be making good progress now and people are reacting to that with positive comments. Of course there's no "slagging" as you put it, because it wouldn't make sense now would it?

Alex Wall's departure and the way it was done is, in my opinion, no less of a terrible decision now than it was when it happened, but we appear to have turned a corner now and fans are starting to be won over so if you can stop raking up the dirt I expect we can all move on. If you've really got the management duo's best interests at heart then the best way to help them is to be joyous at the fact that people are coming round to your way of thinking, rather than reminding everybody of their earlier mistakes.

It's great that you're 100% behind the managers but if you really want to win hearts and minds, have a look how Groomy does it, he's got it nailed.

I for one couldn't see why Ben Greenhalgh was getting rave reports at one time, but I must admit he is consistent and yesterday was getting some wicked crosses into their box. Long may it continue, I can understand why Adam wanted him here, as I thought we'd seen the best of him when he was at Concord R prior to going to Maidstone.

Call me Ozy, Arty. Let's be friends.

A good battling team performance yesterday with a cracking performance by Lee Noble. The new lad Daniel Johnson looked settled at left back and looking forward to seeing Ryno in the Black & white shirt again soon.
Philpot took his goal well although looked very close to being offside and Sheringham took his penalty well which should never have been considering Philpot clearly over hit and lost the ball then dived as Preston Edwards came out for the ball never touching Philpot.
Still the ref gave it and Charlie made the most of it to get the win.
Looks like things are starting to turn around now for the better apart from Deren leaving, fingers crossed the new Greek keeper that’s coming in will be good quality & of a good standard.

Great performance yesterday and we nearly look a decent team. Those of you have hare read my previous posts will know I was someone who rated Ryno very highly and who was gutted when he left.

The Irony now is that I am worried about his return. I think Ben has been our best new signing this season and I would not want to see him dropped, plus I am not sure I can see the way Ryno plays with his "foibles" fitting in with the new managerial structure. The new managers are not used to the frustration and despair that inevitable comes with the moments of brilliance you get with Ryno.


Finally even if they decide not to play him presumably if he is signed we are committed to paying wages and surely we are not rich enough to pay for players we are not going to use be it Ryno or Ben. I suppose it could be seen as strengthening the squad but if you are signing a squad player I would want a player with more versatility than Ryno.

And you may call me Arty.
Dear Ozy

Dear Mr Spike,
Groomy is a wonderful fellow. Knowledgeable young man. I like you are delighted as what now looks like a team. As I mentioned something that many are not remembering is that Andy Pugh is positive about being back earlier than I envisaged. Put him in that team and well i think many things are achievable.
So to wish Spike, kent C, my new friend Ozy a lovely end to a great weekends football.
Love you all.
Arthur.
