Decent 5-1 victory in the end against a hard working r&h side. Three strikers finishes from Dillon, the type of poacher we need in the five yard box. Dangerous running and drive from Luke fairlamb on the wing and with him on gyasi on either flank, we should cause many teams problems out wide. Does anybody know where the centre half pyke, has come from? Looked a little like Jamie Stuart and didn't put a foot wrong all game. Looks to me as if he'd be a decent signing to play alongside dolman, although punter looks ok as well. A player to rival dolman for chest circumference! :cool:

Not 100% certain but think Pyke may have come from Newport Pagnell, though they have been known to spell his surname Pryke.

I haven't been particularly impressed with what I've seen from Pyke, Punter looks the better option as a squad player to me, but I wouldn't have him down as a starter week in, week out.

Agree that Gyasi and Fairlamb seem to give us better options out wide, and while they didn't show a great deal first time round, they may just give us what we need now.

Dillon has stood out for me, if Shariff can learn how to play alongside him, we should be safe as houses!

Pryke made 35 appearances for Buckingham Town in the 2013-14 season before joining Pagnell where he made 129 apps over 3 seasons.

Punter, according to his Wikipedia page, is an Antigua and Barbudan international https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blaize_Punter
