Time for our annual playing squad thread, where we can discuss general squad news.
Who is top of your list to retain? Who do you want us to sign?

James Comley has signed a new contract with Maidenhead, so any rumours about him returning are dead.
Godfrey Poku has been released by Oxford City and would be a useful defensive midfielder.
Definitely need 2 central defenders who can defend at set pieces & corners.
Monlouis would be one I would release from the current squad.

Well personally l couldn't have seen James Comley leaving Maidenhead and coming back to us next Season, but l guess Godfrey Poku could be a possibility, but is he really good enough now ?

I know it's been said before but hopefully Charlie wassmer or someone 6'3+ who is willing to stop set pieces, unlike tariq. Personally would let monlouis go and bring zane to the middle which would leave room for a winger?

Excellent signings. Two of our most solid and consistent performers over the past two seasons. A good start.

Comley almost returned last season by all accounts but IA chose to keep Monlouis instead, who apparently has another club lined up now away (same with Rhys MR)

RMW was/is on a contract isn't he ? If he wants to leave then we want some money for him

Monloius didn't shine last season but I think some of the comments on here may be a tad harsh. I'd have given him a C- 'must do better'. Immaterial if he's leaving. I'm sure IA can find a better replacement. RMW going more of a concern. Hope Lucien staying?

Think rmw being imperative for the team and cause would be a huge loss, but wouldn't be surprised if football league took a gamble. Personally think Lucien is a brilliant squad player who can come on and cause problems for many tired legs, but wouldn't mind seeing Zane put in the cam and a new winger?

According to the Connie South forum Tom Gardiner is on his way to Wealdstone.

That said, l'd be dissapointed personally, to see Tom go, l thought he was a decent player for us. Of course any of our players that are not contracted for next Season, and l guess that's most of them, would be free to go elsewhere and would no doubt get offers from other Clubs

I think you'd have bet your bottom dollar that there'd be someone coming in from Concord, given that out new Assistant Manager is from there, lol !

Disappointing that Gardiner is going. I thought he was committed, versatile and more reliable than the alternatives at the club. New winger to replace RMW?

Not a shock to see Gardiner depart. If the management want to improve the defence, which as most pointed out was a big issue, then it's no surprise to see defenders shipped out so replacements (which will be hopefully be an improvement) can be brought in.

They'll all have to go then, bar Herd and Bender. The new assistant manager is supposed to stop the leaks isn't he?

Post by lagerman on May 19, 2018 16:38:30 GMT
Well l agree, Gardiner was versatile. But l don't agree that if our defence is to be strengthened, that all the defenders would have to go, the same as other positions in the Team. You just strengthen like for like, man for man, well as far as l can see anyway

I just meant that, Herd and Bender aside, Gardiner was the best of the defenders....

I fully agree. It is imperative that we strengthen the centre of the defence.
