Michael will be pleased. Welcome Richard.

He seems to have played centre back everywhere else so that could give us a backline of Groombridge, Corneille, Friend, Avery, Cloke, Ball, Robinson, Pooley, Hill. Only one more needed for a full team!

Michael will be pleased. Welcome Richard.

And so am I.

[michael]

yep-pleased with this one.

 

In fairness-i've only seen him play 45 mins-but its no different to a car (or a woman ) you know if you like them after 30 seconds and the 'first touch' !

 

I don't see him as a world beater-and the player himself would probably agree -but he brings balance to the midfield and some steel to the midfield.You need a defensive midfield player-and i just liked the way it kept it simple.

Just do the basics well, and hopefully the likes of wilson ,stubbs and coleman will benefit as they can be a bit more creative

 

Must also admire the way CK has built his squad-lots of balance/cover in all positions and options in all positions.

 

I still have memories of those awful Trott days when just to prove he could do something-he signed 6 wide right sided midfield players-and there were 11 players in a sqaud of 16 who could play 'wide right'.What a numpty and waste of resources.However-he should have been better managed by the club -rather than allowed to do that.

 

Best wishes to Avery in his new career at MFC.

To be fair to Trotty Michael, did he not get us to our highest place finish in the Ryman League (6th I believe).

[Wellsie]

And for the most part, playing entertaining football. Adn now I think about it, one of the best left sides I recall - Skinner and Jackson.

[BlueGate Alan]

Deffo Steve, those two were unbelievable at times, just seemed to know exactly where each other were even when back turned.

[Coffin Ender]

Trott was a nice enough bloke but he hasn't managed anyone else since. He had the players for the play-offs (goals galore with 40 from Hockton, 20 from Pinno, plus Jacko and Jay weighing in) but we missed out.

[BlueGate Alan]

I believe we missed out not because of Trotty but the fact we had a lot of postponed matches meaning players got tired, injured etc so not at their best IMO.

 

Anyways thats history now, we have CK!!!!

And of course trotty had a far bigger budget than anyone who has followed him.
