Friendlies 6/7th JULY

[NICE GUY]

Sheerwater: 1

Molesey: 3

 

YV, loop was the game a good work out ? Fair result ? How did both teams fair ?

[NICE GUY]

Wembley 1 v 1 Feltham

 

Knaphill 3 v 2 Badshot Lea

 

DORKING wanderers 1 v 3 Kingstonian

 

Ellers, I know its only pre-season and shouldn't take too much out of these games but a good result against higher opposition !

.....worthy winners ?

[ellers]

I think so NG I was quite pleased with certain parts of our game, however we have a long way to go, if we need to be playing at 10 out of 10 by the start of the season then at the moment we are only at 5-6 out of 10, I'm still waiting on a couple of players to come down who will be good additions, pre season training has been very well attended with over 30 players at each session and at the first one we had 50.

 

I have new head coach who has been excellent and the players have been very impressed, which I think is one of the reasons that the sessions have been so well attended. We have Camberley on Saturday which will be another big test for us, but I'm looking forward to it.

[duncs]

Still to early IMO by the way when are Players allowed to start signing on ?

[Non League Nigel]

No such thing as a friendly against Chobham! Very competitive match. Chobham pulled out some of their old stars for the match and if they kept that side would walk the league they are in.

Good workout for us and good showing first half where we controlled the match but second as we got tired we held on a times for a clean sheet. Probably made the best goal-line clearence I've ever seen too!!

Can you tell me when players are allowed to sign on are the forms even printed yet ?

[duncs]

can somebody anybody tell me when players can start signing on because if nobody can sign on yet Hello then what is the point of these matches in theory all these lads can go and play elsewhere.

[TRS]

Is that any different to any other year though Duncs? The season kicks off 3 weeks on Saturday, so it doesn't seem to early to start to me.

not the point i was aiming at Trev, why help players get fit only for them to feck off and sign for someone else in a couple of weeks time not saying it would happen but it is fiesable,what I have always done before any friendlies take place is look at them in training if you like them sign them and then let the friendlies give you the last piece of the jigsaw.

[The Mayor Of Simpleton]

Surely you should be able to sign players from the 1st July? If it's good enough for Arsenal, Chelsea etc. then it should be good enough for Egham, Guernsey etc.

[duncs]

well you would of thought so but knowing this league as i do it wouldn't surprise me if the forms weren't available yet,I am only asking does anyone know thats all.

[danielpjn]

All our squad has now been signed on. Friendlies start on Tuesday night at home to Fleet Spurs

[bomaya]

I think 1st July is always the date you can start signing on players.

 

And the forms are all on the website.

...........but I thought you run their nuts off for weeks before considering even seeing a ball - you words, not mine - so how do you rate them as far as their football ability goes. I started over 20 years ago managing sides and it is always the same but works both ways. We have loads of players more than capable of getting into our side and they will spend many evenings training hard - you will see other posts talking about 30-50 people coming down - but many will ultimately not get signed. On the other hand, yes, players will train with you and then maybe try out at another club and sign for them, but it is a free country. We signed 10 players yesterday and will probably double that number during the week, but then we played our first friendly - the illegal one that was far too early - last Saturday and had a good look at all the new lads we have had down. Trust is a big thing in football and in life generally, and I always trust players to be honest with me and am rarely disappointed. Liam Holden started with us and played last week and work really hard in all the sessions and that game, so I had high hopes he would join. He has been asked to go down to Farnborough by Spencer and rang me to tell me this, and I wished him well and really mean it, as it would be great if he could do well like his mate Pagey. We put a fair bit of effort into get him and certain others down pre-season, and they all responded superbly from day one, but we have to accept that if other offers come along players may take them - certainly if they are a better standard and a chance to test yourself at the next level, or higher. You do seem to have a low opinion of players and that may be down to previous experiences, but preaching to some of us who have done this for years is a bit fresh. All managers and coaches have different methods and ideas, some work, some don't, but leave us all to do our jobs, our way.

 

And, yes, players can be signed on now and, once this is done, they fall into the 7 day rule. Forms are not sent out by the league as far as I am aware, but you simply download them as mentioned earlier and they are not dated - you enter the dates manually at the top.

Sorry, wrong info there - no date at top, simply dated when signed

Again what a load of Bollix you are spouting there must be dates on the correct forms or what would be the point of signing on each season are you sure you have done things correctly,I don't know if you;re aware of it but the season dont start untill early August and friendlie results meen feck all I am not preaching I am trying to help you as I have won loads in the past few years, what have you won if you haven't won anything who is doing the preaching kent.

Duncs,you are going overboard big time for no reason.Hammer stated the forms are dated when a Player signs,you omitted that from your post.Let's take this scenario Hammer knows the Players,from previous Seasons/watching them play,he knows their ability,therefore knows what they are capable of in Footballing terms,Their fitness at this time of the Season is an unknown factor,teams with good fitness win games you must agree,especially early in the season.Must say you by what you post i.e.Language does not become you,not the cuddly Duncs that everyone respects.Yes I have met Hammer also, an honest,open,knowledgable,footballing man,That I respect.Now your rants at Nice Guy,maybe a different matter,CALM DOWN MATE PLEASE

[duncs]

Smudge this Guy is very dimeening and I aint having it he may be right but what an obnoxious kent he is,he aint interested in the team or the players it is clear from his posts he is a control freak well he can spew out all the sh1t he likes I aint wearing it.
