Today's Press Release

[David Holden]

Fleet manager Andy Ford today announced the signing of midfield general Jay Saunders from local rivals Margate.

 

Saunders spent two years at Gillingham as a YTS before playing for Fleet for one season at the beginning of Ford's reign at Gravesend & Northfleet. Joined Margate in the 1997/8 season.

 

He is known for the occasional spectacular goal and his tough tackling in the centre of the team.

Not with me, but I do remember him playing.

[MargateFan]

You have signed yourselves a prince, guys, take good care of him.

[Ray ellingham]

Lets hope so.midfield is looking strong already.

 

Dave: looking at newport & merthyr the only way fleet play in Wales will be in a cup competition

[Jimmy]

I remember him playing for us. He came after being released from Gills and looked a bit lightweight, this has obviously changed and I've always thought him quite good when he's played against us.

Hmmm, I recall similar but then I thought that about Bullard too...and look where he is now!
Jay would appear to be a good replacement for Rob Owen.

[Hempstead Gaz]

And the likely replacement for Walshe -- Jacko.

[Mepis]

Remember him well played a lot in defence, good player improved a great deal, will be good for us.

'Likely' replacement?

[Hempstead Gaz]

Maybe. But cannot say.

I sincerely hope not. As has already been said, Jacko served the club well, but he wouldn't be an automatic first choice now. If we're pushing for a play-off place next season, definitely a step backwards.
