Just thought I would let the Barnet fans know that Pavey scored for us today

And won plenty of decent headers and seems to have acquired a fair turn of pace too. Tired at the end but that was to be expected.

Fair play to the lad then! I did suspect he had a bit more about him than we saw as he's contracted until 2017 at Millwall - but bloody hell he was bad for us!

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

Welling have signed Harry Lee from us on a permanent deal. Spent the first half of the season on loan there.

 

[Harrier94]

Harriers have somehow re-signed Ben Whitfield on loan. Great news

I was hoping he might fancy coming home for a few months! Never mind it's not really midfielders we need. See you in a few weeks time

We've signed Shaun Harrad. Used to be a decent FL striker but seems to have slipped off the radar a bit.

Experienced though, so hoping he's half decent and not fat (Briscoe) or permanently injured (Fairhurst).

Not a bad signing. Was very decent when with us in 2013/14. Was non existent though when Worcester visited us in November

I might be wrong, but im sure he trialled for us in pre-season and looked terrible, maybe he was short of match fitness but he didn't look anywhere near conference standard if it was him.

 

[Luke Imp]

He did, yeah, the week after we let him go after a trial.

 

[yellow]

We've also signed Andre Wright for the rest of the season. Really happy with that as he and Marsh were forming a solid partnership up top.

 

[Harrier94]

We've signed Keith Lowe. Great signing for us that is. And we're now getting so close to the 50 player mark up to 48 now for this season.

 

[yellow]

48 players already? Wow.

That ought to be a fantastic signing for your lot. Big Keith has been out of form for us, but I don't think it was a co-incidence that when we were near bottom of the league a couple of seasons ago, we signed Keith Lowe, Russell Penn and got Nicky Pope in on loan, and went on a ridiculous run that saw us finish the season in the League 2 play-offs.

 

[gijsbert_bos]

He looked hideously out of his depth in the handful of games he played for us last season. Badly lacking technically, really slow, no idea how to head the ball etc.

His performance at home to Kiddy - we were 3-0 up and cruising and then he came on up front, looked and played like some guy we had found in the pub, had no idea how to hold the ball up and nothing stuck when we played the ball forward to him, ended up 3-3. It remains the single worst performance I've seen from one of our players, almost an exercise in footballing ineptitude.

In another of his games a great cross was played to him, but he was so lacking in any heading ability that he tried to kick it and ended up booting the ball into his own face.

I'm just warning you, he is bad. Like seriously seriously rank bad. Not many players leave such a strong impression after only a few games but he is still talked about on our forum as the epitome of badness. In fact he was so bad that he continues to have an effect on MA to this day - he's really reluctant to make use of our young players now when we're winning and that all stems from the Pavey debacle.

His wikpedia page looks like his dad has written it!

Louis Briscoe released. Another good decision so well done to all concerned.

Rated him when he was at Mansfield. The Beast.

Shilow Tracey has finally completed his move to Spurs and goes straight into their U18s. He's played four minutes of first team football for us (Kent Senior Cup against Charlton last season) but appears to have impressed them in two separate trials. Five figure fee paid (apparently) and very healthy add ons. Not bad.

 

[yellow]

He's been cack since he came here, to be honest. Huge underachievement. Pretty certain he was on a fair whack too.

Yeah, can't see him being on peanuts tbh. Shame that. He'll probably get another Club soon enough.

 

[Luke Imp]

Nat Brown joins Harrogate on loan for a month.

 

[GodsGift]

Are they still managed by Weaver?

 

[Luke Imp]

Yep.

 

[Son of Cod]

Is John McDermott still their assistant?

 

[Gashead]

Blissett signs for Torquay, desperately hope it works for both him and the club! Hard worker but I think his confidence has been shot a bit this season, with us and the loan spell at Tranmere. Hopefully games = goals and saving from relegation!

 

[GTFCfish]

Is John McDermott still their assistant?

He was when we played them, presume he still is.

 

[Joe.]

We've signed Aaron Mclean. I'll take it, I guess. We've been lacking goals lately.

 

[Urban]

How much money do Ebbsfleet have ffs? Turns down our extension and drops two tiers...

He'll murder Conf South.

To tell you the truth, I don't know! Our new main stand is costing five million so a fair bit I'd imagine... didn't even know he was only on a short - term with you lot.

Obvisouly more than you lot.

Clearly. Not enough to be CHAMPIONS though...
