Ryan robbins starting for the scum today???!!

After a laughable start it was a much more competitive game than i'd anticipated, not sure if that should be a concern or not but it made it a half decent game.

It's very early days but it looks like we're trying to shoehorn a few attacking players in to the team at the moment by playing a formation that doesn't appear to suit them. Possibly forced upon us due to not having any wide players. Shades of 16/17 season in the NPL.

Plenty of time to address that and of course this is what pre-season is for but it would be a shame if we're forced to abandon the 3-5-2 that served us so well last year.

Any news on Joe Curtis ? I don't think he has appeared in any PSF yet. Is he on holiday?

I stand by what I said to you at the Marlow game SD, Joe isn't a fancy player, but he works hard and does what he needs to do, keeps it simple and has a good attitude to boot. Really hope he's not moving on.

Be interesting see how he does at step 3, but I think he'll do a good job.

That IPA in the clubhouse was a lovely drop

I certainly wasn't making any negative comment about Joe. I believe he is still very much part of our squad. Maybe we will see him on Tuesday.

He was listed as having re-signed so hopefully he has just not been available so far.

I see that St Ives Town have signed ex R & H young striker Dylan Wilson who scored 35 goals in 40 appearances in his first senior season last term. I guess Bully Adams who is now assistant manager at St Ives is mainly responsible for this signing.

rumor has it st ive have also taken mason Thomas from raunds ,who scored about twenty goals last season,and another lad ,ty Clarke whos a goal machine ,when he puts his mind to it,,,im all for giving youngsters a chance ,but why would you take 3 young strikers?? I hope they do ok,but alas I think a couple will sit it out(bench maybe)
