Had a quick look and he played last season 2 levels below us for Maldon & Tiptree but was their player of the season. He was the youngest ever Premiership player until fairly recently and before last season had played only in the FL. He’s 28 now but appears to still have e ambitions to make it back into the FL. Surprised it was a defensive signing was expecting a midfielder!

Another rumour last night was that Harrow Borough were interested in signing Dan Roberts.

Unless he was guaranteed to start (which I doubt any manager would say) and offered more money I can’t see why he’d go there?

We should sign Dan Roberts, I've seen enough of him to think he's only going to get better the longer he stays with Slough and we should look to keep him out of other club's clutches. He's a far better player than I thought he would be stepping up from Windsor. Last season I thought a dual reg would be best for him but I think we should abandon that idea and keep him in our squad for the season. That way we can get the benefit from him, and we can always loan him out if need be.

Who’s to say we don’t have him on contract already?

So just to stop rumours etc, Dan did go on trial at Scunthorpe which was a good experience for him, though nothing will come of that at this stage.

He is one we really like, and we will sit down with him in a couple of weeks and decide what we want to do, he is already a squad member for the season, and whether he stays with us or goes dual reg/on loan to a step 3 side will be a decision we will make together for the benefit of Dan long term.

To be honest I have 6 or 7 step 3 and step 4 sides in touch about him including Harrow, however as said to him we will see how we go pre season, he does not have to be in a hurry as he is young enough and will get plenty of football this year with our help.

Can I ask what the plan is with Matt Briggs please Neil?

Briggs is playing for Dorking tonight. I’m guessing he’s not going to sign for us as he hardly played and didn’t really impress as maybe was hoped. Just unfortunate Joe is out for a month!

Matt Briggs is a wide player/winger.

In the pre season games he's played for us we have played him in central midfield which I think is not his natural position.

I don't know why he wasn't given a go out wide but if he does not sign for us I think it would be a shame as I don't think we've seen the best of him playing centrally.
