Re: Player news
Regarding the comments regarding Dan Roberts not starting last night for Carshalton...
He picked up a slight injury on Saturday and failed a fitness test just before last nights kick off.

Re: Player news
We certainly know how to turn over players! Anyone know how many players we have used this season?
Re: Player news
I was a bit concerned that the player exodus would leave us short but dont worry we have 18 available for Dorking with Jermade on the mend and

Re: Player news
Sorry folks but 37 players used is ridiculous.
I have no experience of football .management but as a fan for 64 years I only ever remember us using so many players during Tommy Sampsons tenure and that squad won nothing
I actually rate Kingy but the phrase
"Kid in a sweet shop " comes to mind.

Re: Player news
Don't forget that figure includes Kent & London Senior Cup games where we have used a few trialists/academy players.
The core of the team has been pretty much the same all season but we have had our fair share of injuries (especially centre/full backs) where we have had to bring players in.
Steve is also always trying to improve the squad and will try new players if he thinks that will help which i think is a good thing.
After all since he's been with us our league positions has always been very good.

Re: Player news
Point taken Parky,but as someone who only does home games or Tonbrige Ebbsfleet etc,I do have a job keeping up with the new faces and to be honest I am not the only one .
But as I have already said,I rate Kingy and as you occasionally state ....I will keep the faith.
COYDss!

Re: Player news
I don’t see anything wrong with using so many players, Kingy always looking to improve the squad and he mentioned about new players coming in especially as he can’t ignore the missed chances we had against Hungerford,

Re: Player news
I remember being scoffed at by a few on here about the integrity of last season’s squad vs. this season’s. I had intimated that it would not be a surprise if not many of last season’s squad carried forward to this.
We aren’t quite the Boreham Wood of 12 odd years ago who legendarily used 51 players by the end of January, but I do feel like not a million miles away. Still, we sit third or fourth which ain’t bad, so no big complaints here.

Re: Player news
Anyone who has played football at any level will understand about the extra impetus and team spirit which slowly grows within a reasonably sized, well managed squad of players. All clubs get their fair share of injuries. A good Manager adapts and refines the squad he's already got and adds to it only here and there and where absolutely necessary, thereby preserving his team spirit and his Budget for maybe substantial upgrades the following season.
So, blessed with that generous Budget, a good manager will start the season with a good set of players, no mercenaries. They are a good squad because, presumably, he is a good Manager. They will improve as a team as the season progresses. They will be " our boys" who we can get behind, to be cheered on week in, week out, good, bad or indifferent.
This is what well managed clubs do and exactly why WE are now finding it a lot harder after an explosive start.
A bad "so called" Manager just picks the phone up every week and says " Who have you got? Where's he been before? How long can I have him?"
As he ever even seen them play?

Re: Player news
Personally I just go by the premise that good managers win more football matches than bad ones. How they achieve that varies for each individual, but ultimately is up to them. I don't think we've been out of the top 5 since Kingy got up and running, so it seems a little premature to be telling him where he's going wrong.

Re: Player news
Just seen on Sky Sports News that the club has signed left back Jayden Sweeney on a month's loan from Leyton Orient.
Re: Player news
I'm confused. The first reports I read of Junior Tiensia's removal from play in the Brentford B match was that he was injured. Subsequent reports said he was sent off. Now the club's statement on the loan signing of Jayden Sweeney says he's been signed to cover for the nature of Junior's injury. So which was it - injury or sending off? Or both (i.e. sent off for committing an offence in which was injured)?

In Steve's post match interview today he said unfortunately he will be out for the remainder of the season.
Re: Player news
Thanks for explaining that. Presumably his suspension hadn't kicked in before the Brentford match (assuming a London Senior Cup match would have counted towards it). If he's going to be out for the rest of the season, I presume his suspension won't start until the beginning of next season (wherever he may be by then). And is it a 1-match or 3-match suspension? Get well soon, Junior!Park Life wrote: ↑Sat Mar 05, 2022 6:20 pmHe got sent off at Hungerford but then got injured in the game against Brentford B.Silverado wrote: ↑Sat Mar 05, 2022 6:16 pm I'm confused.
