More amazing still was the fact that Slough played most of the match with two giant strikers. They just looked totally wrong leading our line when Tony and Sammy have done it so often this year. They looked pretty handy as well but given tight finances right now I don't see any new faces coming into the first team squad.

Well done to Dom and CJ for acting as ball boys and for holding up the subs numbers!

Terry Brown was there as well, Interesting to know why

Former Fanborough striker Bruno Mendonca scored twice for us and looked impressive and also former Harrow winger Joe Lyons played.

Terry was there looking at Mendonca apparently...

[Dominic]

All i know is that he didn't pay to get in!!

I'm getting a bit confused.

I thought that the Reserves team, by definition, was made up of 'spare' Slough players, but this is obviously not the case.

 

What restrictions are there (if any) on team choice? (other than the obvious: player fitness/injury)

 

[Guest]

Basically we don't have any spare players so are first team is effectively also the reserve team! Good innit!!!!!!!!!!

[PJ-STFC]

Yeah!

Having a reserves team made sense earlier in the season when there were more players on the books...

 

But how come we had a couple of non-STFC strikers playing on Monday?

[BFR]

To give players trials, to give players a game for other teams and presumably because Roy was doing a favour for Terry Brown, plus of course the fact we've let all our spare and reserve players leave.

[PJ-STFC]

Thank you, BFR

It's nice to get a sensible answer to a sensible question, once in a while!

[BFR]

well you know, it happens once in a blue moon but glad to be of service
