Eastbourne Borough - today

[Ding]

According to the BBC's vidiprinter things are getting better!

 

"FRIEND: FT Eastbourne Borough 0-2 Gravesend"

 

Roll on Wednesday night.

[Charles Webster]

Goals from Jon Keeling(42 mins) and Mark DeBola(58 mins)in very good performance. Stacy Long has agreed terms and is a Fleet player.

[Fleet4Ever]

Stacy Long looked very accomplished today, just what we need in the midfield. A good performance, let's hope we can continue to progress against MK Dons.

 

Good work so far Liam.

[Slartibartfast]

Nice to hear it was a good performance Lord Chas and good to hear that Stacy Long has signed, did any of the trialists look good?

[Fleet4Ever]

I thought Garrick played well as did Daniel Brown.

[Bloodnock]

Any chance of a list of players who played today?

Stacy Long, according to Charlton & Notts Co. web sites is an attacking midfielder which is what we need so possibly a good signing.

[Charles Webster]

Gravesend & Northfleet: Mott, Hawkins, Ross Smith, Jamie Smith(Brown, 80 mins), Opinel(Jackson), Quinn(Roberts, 85 mins), Keeling(Purcell, 86 mins), Long(Carey, 67 mins), Slatter(Boyce), Ekoku(Moore, 72 mins), MacDonald(DeBola, 58 mins).

 

Substitutes(not used): Groombridge, French. Garrick did noyt play but is still on trial according to Liam.

 

For what it's worth, in my opinion, with close to our starting line up I thought we looked very good and all the trialists acquited themselves well. Liam hopes to announce another signing this week - could be DeBola who looked the business and can play in midfield or up front.

 

Highlight of the afternoon was Jon Keeling bursting into the Boro area and throwing himself in to a shoulder charge with the full back - a full 12" taller - to try and win a penalty. The ref didn't want to know. Hilarious. Keeling is a genius.

Groombridge came on with a couple of minutes to go.

[Fleet4Ever]

Glad to see MacDonald back. Will be a key to how we do next season.

[Bloodnock]

Thanks for the line up Charles, all in all Daish seems to be generally signing attack minded players, at least that's how it appears to me.

Still feel we need a right back though.

[charles]

We had a good match, but I have to say Eastbourne played very well and they seemed to dominate the game for a good bit of the first half.

 

Good to see Charlie back on form talking to all the EX Crawley players. Sounds like things are bad at Crawley so they should not be a problem this year!

[Slartibartfast]

Thanks again for the update Chas, forgive an old man who can't keep up with the changes but Jackson, Carey, French ooo are ya? oo are ya?

I am presuming they are triallists, does anyone have any details on them?

Also, does this mean that the other 20 or so triallists have been let go?

The reports from Eastbourne sound encouraging and I am looking forward to seeing the new team on Wednesday.

Where was jefferson louis today? Is he still with us?

[Drummer Scott]

I heard yesterday at Eastbourne that Louis has gone! No loss if he has to be honest.

[Drummer Scott]

We played very well yesterday and good to see that Stacey Long has signed.

Thought Ekoku looked good at holding the ball up and maybe a tall forward, like Ekoku is what we need.

[Charles Webster]

Jackson - trialist. Complete name unknown

Lee Carey - trialist. Ex Brighton and Tonbridge midfielder

French - our youth keeper

Jefferson Louis - alas he's gone. Didn't make the cut.

[Bloodnock]

Could be the ghost of Jacko!!

[Drummer Scott]

Wen we were at Dover his name was anounced as 'Jackson Five'. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

 

Just waiting for him to score, maybe he'll do the moonwalk!
