I would imagine he would reject them whilst he is waiting for the call from Southgate!

Spencer Weir Daley (Barwell) has been called into Monserrat squad

Comfortably our best player for a period of time at the beginning of the 16/17 season (probably Dolman aside). Just 33 appearances in over 2 seasons tells its own story though and I don't think he's been able to quite recapture his old form since his injury nightmare. Hopefully in time it'll return and we can see him back in a Diamonds shirt but as pointed out on the OS, he needs minutes now. All the best to him.

Rushden & Higham have signed Joe Curtis according to their Twitter feed. No mention of whether it's duel-reg.

He is a cracking player and you can still tell but I just can't see where he'd fit into our side at the moment and a player like him needs to be playing week in week out!

I agree. He was superb, up to and including the first part of that game against Step 2 Concord Rangers - then everything changed just before half-time.

Looks like Ryan Robbins has moved from Shepshed Dynamo (Step 5) to Loughborough Dynamo (Step 4).

A Twitter post by Drewe Broughton this morning suggests that Ben Chilwell - who made his debut for England last night - was involved in our Youth Team at a young age - around the time that Barry Hunter was Manager. Drewe's brother Gregg was involved in our Academy at the time.

Drewe is an interesting follow on Twitter for those who don't already follow him. He works with elite-level athletes as a human/mental performance coach and also as a motivational speaker. He has a book coming out on the subject in the coming months.

Ooh, I hope he shares his secrets on how to achieve successive relegations, the art of ill-discipline, and avoiding scoring more than 10 goals in a single season (all competitions) despite playing as a striker his entire career.
