Friendly vs Folkestone

[Iris's Tea Hut]

I'm glad you raise the point, Michael. After seeing 3 in 3 weeks at the beginnning of September, I've seen a bore-draw best forgotten and the defeat of Kingstonian in what seems like an eternity - and that has to last me until mid November! It feels like the summer break, but with slightly drier weather!

More importantly,after our usual early cup exits as well, the cash flow-never great at the best of times i imagine-must be under severe pressure with the lack of prize money and home gate receipts for over a month.

 

(maybe if Billericay lose tonight-unlikely just the same-that midweek game will be brought forward to the 31st )

While I don't subscribe to the theory that as we have new board members that have some personal wealth they will dig deep and often, I would have thought that the new business plan they bring will have envolved a SWOT analysis providing with it a plan for such a short term issue.

 

Still, maybe we can have a MFC Old Boys Tax, charging each player that has donned the shirt £1 - That should bring in a few quid - This seasons keepers could probably renovate the Coffin End on their own!

Ashley Groombridge is a good player, Jake was right when he says he played for Woking Reserves. Can play wide or up top.. and very quick. Played in the same team as him for a few years. Will be a good addition. I assume he will be used most as an impact sub.. pace to burn and mighty skillful.

Playing alongside Jon Boardman too I see. Now he was a decent player.

Gone down the pecking order, though I suspect that he's probably coming back from an injury.

Anyone doing updates from the friendly match tonight??

Is it just me who gets fed up with these lightweight impact players who supposedly have loads of skill and pace-and are thus completely useless in the Ryman.

 

 

Two minutes of stepovers on the wing seems to equate with many as being skillful and thus a good player-regardless that they make no contribution whatsoever for the remaining 87 minutes of a game.

 

 

Can we have some ugly brutes who have no skill whatsoever, but are physically equipped to bully their way to victory ,and are just not nice

Not heard anything from the buzzlines. Keeping an eye on the Trophy replays. Ricay went a goal down at home to Sudbury within 8 minutes.

Just had a quick peek at the FIFC forum, and they are saying 2-0 to us although it's been all Folkestone.

thanks Dave S.

 

One of the cheeky crew from the forum described us as 'Big and physical'. Lol. He might change his mind if he watches tonight!!

[michael]

Pleasing to see Wilson and stubbs on pitch together-think they may combine well in midfield

[Blues with Soul.]

No Blackman or Keister ? Perhaps King is playing ?

[DaveS]

2nd half, Whincup replaced by Ollie ?, Harwood replaced by Robinson,

Lewis replaced by Blackman.

[Gareth]

I forgot Hornchurch are playing Wealdstone tonight. it was 0-0 at half time. stones must have some players out or waiting to come out all guns blazing in the second half. We really need them to beat hornchurch.

[michael]

WE certainly seem to be playing our main players tonight-strong side we have had out in both halves for a friendly

[DaveS]

Samson King is on the bench, along with Morris, Smith, Taylor and 2 others, one of who has just replaced Haverson.

Keister is coaching from the bench with Nev and Phil.

[DaveS]

Healy and the 2 unknowns off, Morris, King and Taylor on.

Wilson replaced by Louis Smith.
