Re: Transfers 2024/25
Woking had an option so does that mean we paid a fee? Their retained list announcement says they offered him a new contract. Separately they name those whose options were taken up. So seemingly they didn’t have an option (despite that having been the understanding of many Woking fans, presumably ba...

Re: Transfers 2024/25
Was he the player who scored Woking's equaliser but then had 2 late penalties saved in the Daniel Middleton match at Woking in March 2023? Yes. So we had to wait until Laurie Walker departed before we signed him because the sight of him in the changing room would have been traumatic for him! Browne...

Re: Transfers 2024/25
First clear sign of a strong budget this season… Yes, especially as Woking’s retained list announcement stated that he had been offered a new contract. Seems he’s had some injury problems, but from what I’ve seen he’s a very exciting player. A versatile one too, who can play as an out-and-out strik...

Re: Transfers 2024/25
Dewhurst is a very good shout, with the Sheff Utd connection and the fact he’s a free agent. Had a very good game at The Hive (in contrast to Male and Ashmore!) this season. However, in his interview after winning one of Wealdstone’s player of the year awards he was asked how he’s found his time at ...

Re: DB to Swindon?
Bassey didn't want the job last time, why would he want it now? It wasn’t that he didn’t want to stay or was unhappy with us. At that time, he had another very attractive offer to become a first team coach at a huge club in Portsmouth. As he said himself, “I was planning on staying for a longer per...

Re: DB to Swindon?
Mel Gwinnett was sacked by Hampton & Richmond after an alarming collapse saw them drop from 2nd to a finish outside the play-offs. A stand-out candidate in respect of results and profile would be local boy Matt Gray. Sutton’s style of football under him was the polar opposite of our style under ...

Re: DB to Swindon?
Going to be hard for him to turn down a big pay rise and a first ever football league job at a club with huge support and where, from one perspective, the only way is up (their finish last season was their lowest ever since the creation of Division 4 (Lge 2) in 1958). Hope he does though. It would c...

Re: Transfers 2024/25
I do think we should be looking to conduct a raid on Meadow Park and take advantage of Boreham Wood’s relegation. That squad was better than their league position, with a lot of players who’ve proven their quality at National League level. We would need to pay fees in most cases, but you would hope ...

Re: Transfers 2024/25
It felt pivotal at the time, but Akinde missing that pen probably helped us. Another win in the bank for Westley may have delayed his eventual sacking by a few weeks, giving Martin Allen even less time to pull off a great escape. Had Akinde employed his usual method and rolled the penalty into the n...

Re: Barnet retained list
If we want to keep playing the same way and we can’t secure Hartigan’s services, we’ll need to sign a replacement in his mould, ie someone always looking to receive the ball from the centre backs, always wanting the ball and happy to receive it in tight spots etc. Not very many available I’d imagine...

Re: Big games tonight
I’d be surprised if Bromley got relegated from L2 next season, should they go up. They’ve got a healthy and growing level of support, and they seem to have relatively deep pockets. Don’t see any particular reason why they would struggle any more than other promoted sides in recent years. Yes there’s...

Re: Changes to National League 24/25 season
why can`t there be replays in the FA cup up to the 3rd round as that is when the premier league clubs enter and its they who say they are playing too many games, so is this an idea from the league bosses to even everything up by making every team in every league play the same ammount of games? Mayb...

Re: Changes to National League 24/25 season
So we can't have F A Cup replays but we can have this pointless ( for us) competition? What level of support have the U21s been getting in EFL Trophy when they've played EFL teams? Presumably it will be comparable when they play NL teams. I don't imagine much support from the NL supporters. Maybe s...

Re: Changes to National League 24/25 season
The top 16 clubs from this season ‘qualify’ (hooray! Go us!) for this competition. The big winners are the other 8 clubs and those in the National Leagues North and South, because they don’t have to play in this abomination of a competition but will get a share of the cash the Premier League is chuc...
