A couple of non league snippets

[C'est la vie]

Billy Clifford has joined Havant. Big loss for Wealdstone as by all accounts one of if not their best player last season. Doswell is certainly splashing the cash.

Interview with Billy Clifford on the Havant site and a couple of strange comments as to the reason for his move.

'Impressed with the Professional set up' and 'Wants to push on and get promoted to play in the NL'

Tonight's friendly between Windsor and Bracknell was abandoned at half time with Bracknell leading 1-0.

No reason as yet given to why it was abandoned.

Never saw Max at LB for Staines, but did see Dobbo at LB for Harrow Borough against Staines funny enough.

Dobbo also turned out for Chesham at left back. Ironically, I never thought Dobbo would make a good left back but Max Worsfold I think would.

To me comparing Dobbo to Max is understandable, given they are both predominantly left wingers but to my rationale they are completely different players. To my mind Dobbo is more of a flair player but Max is more solid and dependable. They both can switch off and not be in the game but when they are on it, both have the ability to light up a game. Max puts in a fantastic cross/delivery from the by line[edges Dobbo on that count] but Dobbo is a better dribbler and will get more goals cutting inside.

The way Bakes and Unders set up their teams to play, Max fits better to their method, I think. I have to say in the excitement stakes I prefer to watch Dobbo. Had we had both in our team I would use Max as a left wing back and have used Dobbo tucked inside him in an attacking midfield role.

Their '12th man' scheme has helped to finance these two good signings.

Surprised Rene Steer has chosen Hampton when he must have had other offers a bit closer plus I thought Hampton already had a good left back in Donaldson or perhaps he's also on the move.

You can only buy a ticket from Melksham football club from 1--8 today and 9-5 tomorrow.

Not sure I'd pay that sort of money for a friendly.

There's talk that Hampton have three or four left sided players, that they may use Rene Steer as a left sided centre half in a back three. Whatever it's a good signing, me thinks?

Striker Dylan Kearney has left Dulwich and gone back to Hayes and Yeading.

Another player who tried his luck at NL level with Sutton but hasn't paid off for him.

Watching the Champions league last night if you was manager would you put in the starting eleven Neymar a cheating diving will play when I want to might come up with something special not interested with team mates manager and supporters only interested in himself.

Or a player like Wazza cares about his team mates managers and supporters will give you everything  for 90 120 plus penalties if required will put in good crosses likely to score will track back play in another position during the game if needed if fouled will get straight back up and carry on if these actions don.t happen you know he has still given his all for the cause.
