All will be revealed next week I suspect if Porter isn't fit.

I must say the Lee was not a happy chappie when he walked past us yesterday.

As early as pre-season it was obvious that Lee was going to be third choice behind Moore and Porter. Its unfortunate because last season Lee was very good and this season hasn't really been given an opportunity due to the form of Porter.

Success is great . . . but as the season progresses there are likely to be many more players unhappy about the lack of first team action.

I hope Lee stays but if he goes then who do we have as cover?

a) Ade "dodgy knees" Pennock - is he even registered as a player?
Former Carshalton player(non-contract terms) - seen nothing of him.
c) Jay Saunders - needs to be playing in midfield though.

Fleet began to hit back and when Protheroe(I think)hammered the ball across goal only to see it hit the far post,Skins collected the rebound and planted a cross into the area where Roy had an easy job of placing a header for Fleets 3rd.

It was Drury who hit the post I believe, although I could be wrong. Either way, he certainly had a fine game yesterday, and his threatening wing play meant that there was no need to throw Moussa into the mix for once.

It feels strange having doubts after racking up a 9-1 aggregate score over the weekend, but both York and Forest Green offered so little threat that victory in both games was ultimately almost inevitable. The real test will probably come in the next four games (Stevenage, Hereford (the last side to beat us of course), Barnet and Daggers), as mentioned elsewhere, given that all these sides are near to the top of the table and so are likely to be either near to or actually on top form.

It ws drury wasn't it? I thought that was going in for his hatrick but it came off the post, ended up in the back of the net tho. great header from essendoh

[Riverview Supporter]

Its ok saying that York and Forest Green didnt perform , but York had two good chances in the first 10 mins

 

Maybe we are actually stopping these teams playing how they want.

 

Are the club now having every opposition watched prior to us playing them and if so is this a new policy

I think we should extend the real test bit beyond the next 4 games - as we then face Accrington away with Aldershot away after that (although we do have Leigh at home between Accrington and Aldershot).

 

Things begin to look slightly easier after that (although there is seldom an easy game) but those next 7 games will,I think,truly act as our launchpad for a promotion challenge or make us a mid table side only.

So far this season, we've had three short suspensions and a couple of injuries. As we move through the year, there will clearly be others. Therefore, we need a strong squad with all players capable of playing well at Conference level. Lee and Jimmy are of such a standard. Are they really on the brink of departure as suggested in earlier posts?

Re "Eh", look near the bottom of page 1 and at the top of this page.

Jimmy is injured - there are rumours of a fallout between Andy & Lee, but nothing has been substantiated so hopefully they will prove to be rumours and nothing more.

[FleetFanatic]

I don't recall anybody saying that 'they are on the brink of departure' though.....

[Alan W (GNFC)]

No, but I suspect he was reading too much into earlier threads - I'm sure we all do similar things occasionally.
