Surprisingly Dartford have let their highly rated goalkeeper Dan Wilks leave their club. Darts fans are not pleased. Rumours have it that ex- Woking keeper Craig Ross will sign for them as he has worked for manager Alan Dowson  before.

According to supporters Dan Wilks wasn't the same keeper after coming back from injury so not surprising he was let go.

At his best he was an excellent keeper and maybe given time he'll get back to somewhere near his best.

I still say getting a leader centre half for our team is more important than signing a holding midfielder.

I would, though,like Slough to add a youngish[ 23 to 24 ish]centre midfielder to replace the loss of Aaron Kuhl and Lee Togwell.Someone with plenty of running in them and proper fit. A good tackler but not neccessarily a holding midfielder. Like we had with Ryan Hope,a good few seasons ago. I would then pair Matt Lench with him in centre mid, and then have Scott and Jeanmal and another proper midfielder as cover. Unfortunately Tyrese Owen failed to offer much.  

I didn't say a holding midfielder, Scotty can play that role, a mobile tackling midfielder who can do the dirty work alongside Lenchy.

Well it is technically a step up! I’m sure Temi will welcome him with open arms… I’ll be so annoyed if Temi isn’t given a decent run out.

Maidenhead have been given the go ahead to buy some land at Braywick Park to build a Community Stadium which as well as football will include the dreaded Athletics  😏

I'm sure Temi won't be too happy either.

Maidenhead have stated they will be announcing their retained list in due course.

After losing Mason Bloomfield to Hampton, Kevin Lokko has now left Farnborough to progress his career.

That's two of Farnborough's best players gone.

 

I'm surprised anyone wants to stay at Farnborough with the last interview Spencer gave at St Albans on the last day basically calling them all out and when asked "Do you want to keep the squad together" his answer was "No, absolutley not"😂. Nothing like building a team is there!!!!!!

Chelmsford have signed Dartford's player of the season Samir Curruthers.

Top signing for Chelmsford.

Elliott Buchanan has penned a new deal at Beaconsfield so that puts the kybosh on him being one of our two new strikers  😏

Really not fussed at all! He scored 12 goals a level below so he wasn’t likely to score more than 10 at our level. Take away his hat trick last season, he scored 9 in 38 games.

Guy Hollis has signed for Farnham Town at Step 5. Looks like they have the money to attract players from levels above. Also signed Darryl Sanders from Bracknell, who gave him a pretty short send off earlier today on Twitter. Having said that, I’ve not seen them announce Guy’s departure at all.

As Guy didn't play much for Bracknell since he left us I shouldn't think they're too concerned.

I'd say they're more worried about losing Sanders who was their star player.

There's only one reason why players want to stay at Farnborough and it's not Spencer Day.

At the stage he is in his football career I can understand the reasons why Guy Hollis is going to play at step 5 but for Darryl Sanders to play at that level is bordering on criminal. A highly rated player that could easily play and earn good money for a club at step 1 or 2.

I think 'that boat has sailed' meaning that Scott must have doubts about Rhys, and from Rhys's point of view he must feel unfairly treated/demoted. If I was Rhys I wouldn't come back to Slough, and if I was Scott I would be looking for a new goalkeeper to serve him for the long haul [more than just this season], as long as Scott isn't shown the door because of bad performances from his team !

That's how I see it anyway.

Julian is looking to retire at the end of this season so it won't be him.

Desboius is obviously going there to be a successor to Julian.

Dan Roberts to Weymouth.

Which to date gives them 10 new signings.

Presumably we didn't want him otherwise to travel that far it can only be for the money.
