One thing we’ve been crying out for over the last few seasons is experienced players to come in to the squad, happy this is something Elliot has identified.

Happy that we’ve signed Ross. Unless I’m mistaking him for someone else, I seem to remember him using a lot cheating tactics when he played against us, if that benefits us, with him winding up opposition players, then I’m all for it! But most importantly, it gives us some experience in the side ...

Having just read the statement from Rob on the members forum, I recommend giving it a read, certainly has quelled any concerns I had.

Obviously disappointed by the news, I will always be grateful for him steadying the ship after the disaster of Burgess and Nunn, but I’m hoping we’ll get an explanation for the reasons why, I’m sure it won’t be anything untoward.

Purely speculation on my part, but maybe it was partly down to lack ...

Callum Ballinger moves on.

Not confirmed, but I’d expect Charlie Green will be another to depart, as he generally goes wherever Calvin does.

Hope that doesn’t mean he’ll raid our squad, although may not necessarily be a bad thing as some of the current bunch aren’t good enough. Is imperative we get an assistant manager with plenty of contacts.

Hopefully, despite the result, we’ll get some of those who attended the game at the dog and duck to this game. The weather looks like being nice, would be great to see a big attendance.

It was definitely great to be back there, but at the same time it felt strange being there as an away fan. I know we played them “away” during our UCL days, but like I said it felt strange on Saturday.

Radio Diamonds were estimating 450 ish.

Definitely looked more than 450 in my opinion.
