The Great Eckscape Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 From last night I think Akurang, Sands, Curran, Chatting, Hawes and Dumas can all be added to that list. Akurang played the tail end of last season as a centre back so assume the same will apply along with a coaching role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 Updated now. I've also listed Tommy Kavanagh as departed It appears to the Club are waiting to hear back from Richard Orlu regarding his Dover offer. There was no mention of Tommy Glanville, George Cocklin or Lynvall Duncan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great Eckscape Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I *believe* that Glanville and Cocklin are both eligible for the Academy next season, but would need to double check that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Great Eckscape Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Apparently Robbie was invited back but was considering his options. Hasn't trained with us so assume he's gone. I see that Akurang has signed for Bishop's Stortford - http://www.bsfc.co.uk/. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Great Eckscape Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Surprised with Jones to Lowestoft, maybe they've seen something I haven't! Good shot stopper on his day but made too many mistakes for me. Bellotti has looked good so far, needs to take a few more chances but the work rate and ability is there for all to see. Quite liked Kavanagh, thought he gave us a bit of height in central midfield as well. Would liked to have seen him as part of the squad this season to be honest.

Matt H Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 I would like to have seen Blackwell stay. I thought when he did play he looked solid, but its understandable he chose not to come back as with our current squad I think he wouldn't have been either of the first choice centre-halves. I really liked the look of our trialist 'Keeper last Saturday. I understand he is a product of the Charlton Academy and is only 19 years old. For me that is the type of player we should be looking to snap up, even if it's only a stepping stone for them to get back into the pro game. I think from what I've seen so far this season and providing we make no more signings, we look good at 4-3-3 with a starting XI of: -------------------- Brightley --------------------- Sands - Bartley - Bryan-Edwards - Dumas -------- Sellears --- Game --- Smith ------------ --- Curran ------- Thomas ------------ BWG --- SUBS: Glanville, Billy Hawes, James Hawes, Nash, Bellotti Of course if we make further signings things could change.

The Great Eckscape Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Nick Humphrey has played the last two matches and has looked really good - would love to see him sign. If he does I can see us lining up: -------------------- Brightley --------------------- Sellears - Bartley - Bryan-Edwards - Humphrey Curran---------Smith----------Game----------Dumas -------------Thomas---------------Bellotti--------------- SUBS: Sands, James Hawes, Nash, Woods-Garness, Glanville. If Humphrey doesn't sign then Dumas would drop back to left back and either BWG or Jay Nash playing wide left, with Harrison Chatting getting himself back to fitness. I think BWG will have a job on his hands to get back into the starting XI with Bellotti and Thomas looking a good partnership. Not sure if Tommy Glanville will be playing for Basildon regularly this season, if so then a second keeper is a must and the lad from Charlton looked good. Would then be up to him and Dale (who had a very good game last night) to battle it out for the number 1 shirt. The player I've been most impressed with is Sheldon Sellears. He seems equally as comfortable in defence or attack, and I can see him being an important player for us this season. We have a genuine squad this season which will mean a couple of players having to be left out the 16 each week which is where we need to be if we are to challenge.

Matt H Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 I thought Sellears was our best player against Concord and teamed up with Curran well. Personally I think he'd be wasted in defence though and looks more natural linking the midfield and attackers together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YELLOW Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Was impressed with Sellears last night. Got forward well and isn't afraid to take on players and be positive. Rio Bryan Edwards looks a great addition to the squad. Was very vocal last night and organised the defence well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt H Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 Going for three at the back are we? ------------------- Brightley ------------------ ------- Bartley - Bry-Ed - Humphrey ------ Sellears ---- Game ---- Smith ---- Dumas ---- Curran ----- Thomas ------ BWG ---- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt H Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) New signings added to the list. Have to say that if that was Artemi playing no. 4 against Basildon on Monday and seeing Emeka's goals in the same game, I'm really excited by these two signings. Edit - YouTube has some footage of Emeka's goalscoring attributes in Ireland (Goals two and three); Edited August 7, 2013 by Matt H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
