Latest Score: W& Finchley v Enfield town

[waggamick]

Are they in France?...things not going to well there either.

Win 8-2...lose 3-0... W&F v WA should be something to watch!

Definitely calls for a Steward's enquiry.

[The Invisible Man]

I don't see how it being a fixture arranged at relatively short notice makes any difference. It was a Saturday during the football season. Surely that should give players a clue that they are likely to be required?

[Mr Happy]

Agree! Unless they were anticipating us been knocked out of the Trophy!!!!

[Stone Cold]

Would it not have been a good idea to say to the players' Hey we intend to play W&F on Sat 20th, i know its short notice but are any of you not available' before we arrange to play this fixture.

 

If that had happened then we didn't have to play this fixture thus maybe field a stronger team that wouldn't have lost at a later date with more of a time period!!

we already beat them 3-1....a plate of fickle and chips please..............

[The Invisible Man]

I don't see why it would even be necessary to do that, Stone Cold. I imagined that when you sign for a senior football club you agree to be available every Saturday, Tuesday/Wednesday evenings and whatever the training regime is - exceptional circumstances obviously excepted. It is not for the club to ask if the players can make it! Equally obviously if a club is knocked out of cup competitions it will seek to re-arrange fixtures.

 

Of course this may all be tosh and piffle, and the players are actually injured. Also as others have stated, we have a large squad, a reserve team and a very good youth team, yet I understand that we could not muster a full bench! Perhaps it would help if there was some clarification?

What would have happened if we had stayed in the cup?

If we couldn´t get a team out then why play in the first place?

SATURDAY 20 OCTOBER 2007 - MOLTEN SPARTAN SOUTH MIDLANDS LEAGUE BIGGLESWADE TOWN 2 HERTFORD TOWN 1
by Pete Boyer

Hertford Town's goalkeeping crisis worsened during the week with the news that James Sturgeon had joined Mark Virgo and Nick Barnaby on the injury list. The Blues were fortunate to be able to call on the services of former assistant manager Tony Tilbrook, who donned the number one shirt for this game. Manager Greenwood also made some other changes to the team: The full back partnership of Pablo Ardiles on the left and Nicky Marsh on the right, was resumed, alongside a centre back pairing of Glenn Draper and Robbie Carroll. Skipper Kevin Kilroy moved up into midfield at the expense of new boy Matt McArdle, who dropped to the bench.

[Father Jack]

Don't think I'd want to chuck a youngster into the web of indecision and [****!!****]-ups that is the current ETFC defence. It could scar him for life!

[andyetfc]

If he is deemed to be good enough, then why not play him. I would rather he played for us when we are short of players than play eleswhere.

[Hawkeye Pierce]

Robbie Carroll would get my selection ahead of certain other players, He is at least playing for Hertford rather than benchwarming.
