Thanks for the report. I think you being sightly pessimistic. That was a very good win against a strong Welling team. I would not expect us to be able to dominate for 90 minutes against a conf south team for 90 minutes with such a young side. Hopefully this kind of challenge will aid their...

Pompey made 10 changes, but it should not be a shock that a club that gets 3x our crowd, have better\more experienced squad players than us

Hanlan and RCC are 2 years older than Mbo and Oldaker.

If Josh Parker is our biggest worry I think that sHows we have progressed, as he has been one of out better players of the last couple of seasons.

Burton player went off with a hamstring injury.

Yes he has filled out. Lot less side show bob like than his youth team days.

Looks like he has jumped in front of Nasseri since the end of last season.

Very good prospect. Best ball striker I have seen in our youth team. He also appears to get faster when on the ball. He has clearly been working on his all round games. As opportunities for an attack minded only midfielder will be fairly limited. I understand he come on in the left of the...

IMHO Stevenson is the most talented, but he has a lot of competition for any game time in attacking midfield. Most mature, Simpson, O'Mara, Chapman, so they are most likely to be trusted with game time if required. Tucker is a very good footballer and has decent pace, but will need a bit more...

Dr Abdullah is interested in Ebbsfleet, as he is trying to get his theme park built in that area.

In my opinion we have the strongest group of young players we have had, in my 20 odd years of watching the youth team. Hopefully a couple of them will break into the first team and go on to earn us good money. Things can happen quite quickly. Eaves and Holy are now worth money, having been...

We spend 60% of turnover on the wages, so it does get reinvested into the squad. It also covers our loses for a year.

Bit early to call people 'out their depth'. Rees was the top scoring midfielder a division above Dartford last season for example. Lets give them a chance to settle in.

He banged in a couple more long distance goals during last season, so it is not a one off, he strikes the ball very cleanly. Hopefully one of the young attacking midifelder\wingers develops as we now have several bubbling under the 1st team.

I don't think we will be in for him, but it is to simple to chuck everyone in the 'midfielder' category. For example only 2 play in the same defensive role as Dawson (Bingham and Chapman). And both of them are more read the game defenders than physical units. All the others either box to box...
