who is the

[billy]

is it true that when he was at clapton a certain south coast team come to watch him and the manager never put him in the squad?

[Fruitbat]

Still gotta be Chopper for us.

First really noticed him in the Penalty Shoot out at Baldock, or some such place.

[Mr Manor]

Not sure billy. Who was manager and then I'll know.

[billy]

I've only been at Eton Manor two seasons so I can't really judge. But one of the best players I've played with at this level is Tony Marsh, left back or centre half. He is at Manor now but I've played with him at other clubs. He is 29 now and because of work he can't train often but I can honestly say I have never seen him have a bad game or lose out in a tackle! Solid, hard, composed and committed. If he trained more often god knows how good he would be. It's funny he couldn't get in the Ilford team because Margolis didn't rate him. Thats how good Margolis is. A message for Darren George. If there is a better left back in the league can you tell me who he plays for .

I can Mr M, Paul Landers of Bowers & Pitsea. Although to be fair to Tony, I haven't seen him play. On the two occasions we played EM this season, I've been on hols (1st game) and with our ressies (1-1 draw).

[Mr Manor]

Slightly bias! Was he playing as a wingback against Eton Manor? Billy sent you a private message mate, give us a reply when you can.

[billy]

i would say tony marsh would be 1st choice left back in any side in the essex senior league.should be playing a much higher level

[billy]

its been done

[Mr Manor]

Billy I think I know you mate. Have to agree. I'm not being bias I've known Marshy 10 years and no-one in the ESl is better then him. I do remember a few pro clubs were after him when we were at Clapton.

Bradley Brotherton.

 

I have given this considerable thought. He is able in midfield and can also score goals. He can win a ball and distribute it and see the way the game is developing.

 

He was, when the town was young, impetuous and could loose his rag too easily but has managed to overcome that. If he has a fault, he is inclined to play it out of defence and leave the team in trouble. However he is still a better central defender than some who have played in that position, and that does not include the present encumbants of Graeme, Adam and Paul.

 

His best position is undoubtedly midfield and we have missed him in the past few months.

[Hookey]

Of course I'm biased, weren't you when you nominated Tony. Re Paul, yeah he does tend to play left wing back. Excellent going forward.

[Mr Manor]

Emmmm. I would have to disagree. I personally don't think he is that good. From what I've seen of Town I liked your centre half who was good on the ball on saturday. I also think your keeper is good. But I can't judge because I don't watch Town every week. My opinions are based on encounters between the sides.

[Mr Manor]

I'm not bias Hookey. I've played against him as well. When we last played I don't think your lad did anything special. But as you say you see him more and I see Marshy more.

[Hookey]

Fair comment.

[Sponsor of Beer]

On the subject of left backs, I'd back Matt Negus against any of those others named. If only for his championship winning goal two seasons ago. Oh, and because he's bloody good!

[Hookey]

Another fair comment!

[Mackie. D]

Likewise all you Eton Manor people out there, Tony Marsh has been a revelation for the club over the past two seasons, yes he was being looked at by southampton, but a certain Lyndon Lynch dropped him from the side when they apparantly came to watch. He is the most genuine bloke i've met in a long time, and long may he stay with the Manor.

[andyetfc]

Bradley's best position is behind the post and rail at the moment watching the games with the supporters!

He wasn't at his best for Town but he did pull on a Town shirt and that was Martin Saint-hillaire. In terms of up to date performances for Town, it has to be Chopper. He has the ability to play a good couple of leagues higher if it wasn't for his loyalty. It is not just his shot stopping it is his overall marshalling of the defence that stops shots even being hit.
