Slough Town V Marlow

[Slough Kitman]

You say there are a poor side ------- in the last 6 games they've won 5 and lost 1 scoring 17 goals with 5 against, that to me is not a poor side. Like us looks like they have found there feet to me.

According to their website they have a lot of players injured-so will be a STRONG side AND HARD TO BEAT AS usual !

Also it says one of our managers played 10 games for them, does not say if that was the beginning or ending of his career.

Nice website though.

Have to say that was one of the toughest games so far.. Very good result

If they keep hold of the 8, Gladwin, they will cause a lot of teams problems this year and will be in the top third of the table IMO

I think you will find that was Jon at the end of his playing career, after five seasons and 150 appearances for Farnborough in the Conference Premier.

Totally agree.... and I will be hoping they cause Dunstable some problems this weekend.

Not quite the end of my career! You are spot on with the Farnborough stats Curtis but from there went to Aylesbury for a few months and then on to Staines (3 seasons) and Bracknell (3 seasons). Was only playing in front of 100's at that point though unlike the legendary Hotspur!

Not quite the end of his career, he joined after 5 years at Farnborough, playing in the same side as me, as you say in the conference prem as it is now.

 

He went on to play for Staines, and finished his career at Bracknell, where injury cut short his career.

[Curtis]

I've seen that in the 1996/7 season you actually finished 7th..... would you have been part-time or full-time players then?

That awkward moment when each manager realises they were writing the same thing at the same time

Given their telepathy, you'd have thought they would have known!

Too true we never saw crowds of a 100 in those days, in our days that would have been the gatemen and volunteers.Sadly alternate activaties were being invented to tempt the casual fan away.

Their like a married couple defending each other so sweet

[Neil Baker]

Ha ha we were one of the part time teams, you had full time teams in it.... that year if we had not finished poorly in last 3 games we would have been 4th most likely.... that was the year I made my debut at 17, and played the last 14 games of the season.

[Mark44]

Any update on possible striker Neil?

[Jon Underwood]

Still working on it.....

It's guna be a choice between Neil or Jon they are desperate to say they played for slough

[Mark44]

Haha it's just so exciting. Like transfer deadline day

[HEAVY TRUCKER]

i hear that there is an ex burnham striker warming the bench at hayes and yeading  is looking for a match, not sure he would cope with the standard at our level though too fast for him me thinks. 

[Stuntman Mark]

Very impressed with Marlow first half, in particular their number 8 was possibly the best opposition player I've seen this season.

 

Looks like Ben Gladwin has signed for Swindon Town (and there was me hoping we might put a cheeky move in for him!). Best of luck to the lad, looked a top player at this level.

[Neil Baker]

Ha ha, there was no way he was going to sign for anyone else in our league, the lad was clearly looking a lot higher up the pyramid.... I might have mentioned to Stuart Hammonds at the NLP what a good player he was, and he proceeded to write an article on him that Sunday  .

 

Great move for him, and hope he pushes on... helps in Mark Cooper that they have a manager who knows the non league game.
