Yup, fair assessment. All three centre-backs are inexperienced at this level, and the NL's a hell of an unforgiving place to be learning on the job. We tried to get Dominic Revan back from Villa on loan, but he chose to go to Northampton, which is understandable, being a league higher and closer...

Our fourth game out of six against an unbeaten top 5 side, so I'm not expecting too much. Daggers have had a great start, and a point would be a real result for us. A lot will depend on Mussa and McQuoid's fitness.

Fair play to the manager for giving an untried 21 year-old the kind of opportunity that he's seized with both hands - he's been absolutely brilliant. The downside is that bigger clubs are going to be coming in for him and who could blame the kid for taking up the kind of offer he's going to get?

Thanks. Would have been interesting to see how the game would have panned out had our main man Josh Mc Quoid been fit - but he's made of glass, and if he wasn't, would still be playing at a higher level. It highlights the problems we're going to face once the inevitable injuries and suspensions...

The top 5 (not necessarily in this order): Chesterfield Notts Co. Stockport Wrexham Grimsby 6th - 18th (again, in no particular order): Yeovil Solihull Boreham Wood Southend Maidenhead Aldershot Woking Halifax Barnet Bromley Torquay D & R Eastleigh And the bottom 5 (not by coincidence, I...

Meanwhile, in a distant galaxy far, far away........... Fitzsimons Brooks Cordner Olomowewe Harfield Rose Mussa Murray/McBurnie Shields Ash Goodship

We've signed Omar Mussa (Ex-8 appearances for Dover) and Taofiq Olomowewe (Ex-9 clubs in the last four years), which goes to show the yawning chasm that separates the likes of us from the likes of them. Oh well, I suppose being in a relegation dogfight from day one'll let us at least know pretty...

We've got a bcd friendly with Chelsea at Cobham next Sunday. As Chelsea are at home to Palace on Saturday, I guess it'll be with their odds and sods, but at least it's Chelsea's odds and sods.

No problem. Hopefully the weather'll be kind to you. The result almost certainly will..... :sad:

Reputed to be better than his older brother Dominic, who we had on loan last season, was at 18. Dominic was pure class for us, and a really nice lad, so that looks to be a great signing.

Tbh, most of our squad aren't NL standard, which is why we struggled last season, and will again this time out. What helped us enormously last season was some quality loan signings, which we're unlikely to be able to match again. In truth, we're a decent enough NLS side who got lucky in the...

Sounds like us, the Toyota Prius of the VNL - hard-working, but not much to look at and won't win any prizes.

We've gone full-time????? Bloody typical. Nobody tells me anything. Unless the e-mail went into the junk folder, I suppose.

Spurred on by poverty, we've got quite good at taking other people's surplus-to-requirements and making a go of it, the latest such example being Jacob Mensah, who we picked up after he was binned off by Palace U23s and who today signed for Morecambe.

Yes, I thought from his signing-on pic he wasn't the tallest. I Just hope having two big centre-backs in front of him will help. We've been spoiled the last couple of seasons, what with both Mark Travers (on loan from AFCB and now their No.2) and Ethan Ross being top-drawer keepers, so he's got...

In at Weymouth: Keeper - Ross Fitzsimons Ex Stockport CB - Tyler Cordner Ex AFC Bournemouth and Southend (loan) Fwd - Ahkeem Rose Ex Dover

You've got yourselves a good'un in Ethan. Lord knows how many goals we'd have conceded last season, if not for him - some of his saves were little short of miraculous - and he was the Supporters' Player of the Year. I'd have loved to see him back down with us, but he fully deserves full-time...

Ta. :)

Good for us whoever wins. If it's Torquay, we're more likely to get Yeovil Boxing Day/NYD, and if it's Pools, we're spared a looooong trip to the North-East.

He would have scored a lot more if he'd had the service he deserved, though, to be fair, we were without his main provider, Sean Shields, for the final five or six games of the season. I believe he was offered a new contract by Cambridge, but, being down the pecking order there, I wonder how...
