We have a couple of injury doubts over Reynolds and Boucard, to add to the long term injuries, so I would happily take a point away to Aldershot with a goal for Tarpey to get him up and running again.
Orient taking something (or everything) from Salford would be welcomed too.
Not sure injury prone is right. He played a lot of games last year. I accept that maybe he downed tools at Barrow which is a concern, but we just need one good year, which if we get, has us top 4 at least. Then we just need to sort out our shit play off record, but at least he takes a decent...
I haven't seen him first hand, but the general consensus seems to be that he didn't pull up any trees in pre-season. If that is true it's worrying. Even Anthony Edgar put a shift in when trying to earn a contract.
Could do with a big name striker being announced to put a brighter slant on today.
Apparently one of our young keepers, Kai McKenzie-Lyle, is on trial at Liverpool. Given that we were told at a recent manager Q&A that we would be sending him on a long loan this season and bringing in another keeper, I reckon the answer will be yes to any transfer offer.
Lost 3-0 away to Northampton. Quite an unbalanced team as both centre backs weren't risked and our right back pulled out in the warm up.
Good news is that Tarpey got more minutes and looked sharp and progress is still being made on bringing in our new much needed striker.
I think there is more to this than Boreham Wood are making out. I thought the agent would be a wet behind the ears type, but if the person that is being named on Twitter is true, then he's linked to an agency that has put many players into many clubs, including ours.

We journey deep into Essex to Maldon to face Maldon & Tiptree this evening. Surely tonight we will score our first goal at the forth time of asking.
Don't read too much into pre-season results, but a lack of goals in the team is already a concern without this barren run after three games.
