I’ve not been at all impressed with Giorgiou. Not sure why he’s usually a starter Totally agree fella, him and Akanbi are not good enough for this level. We need to be careful of falling into the same trap that Dulwich fell into. A fixation on craft beer and chicken wings, with the football an after thought.

I do not feel that we can judge things until we can field a side of first team players. The (hopefully) temporary replacements are just not up to it. Like everybody else I do not understand the Jeffers situation. Maybe there are reasons that are not yet (or will never be) made public. But in reality how often is any club able to field anything like their first XI? The norm is coping with extensive injuries. My question is there are legimiate off-field/discplinary reasons for not picking Jeffers why have him on bench every week and play him in herts cup? If he dropped for these reasons surely you fully drop him? The whole thing is a mystery. Noble is just creating unneccessary drama and giving his critics a stick to beat him with.

If we were losing with Jeffers in the side, I don't believe there would be the mounting groundswell to see Noble leave. Lets hope things improve and Jeffers gets started in our next game.

Akanbi literally has 1 goal and 2 assists in 3 starts - so to be honest he’s contributed more than Jeffers has in his 3 starts and the people calling Akanbi slow and lazy have clearly been watching a different game. As against eastbourne he created the 2nd goal through raw speed and power. Jeffers just does not provide that to the team

I don’t think you can compare him to the guy who averages over a goal every other game for the past three seasons and has been one of the highest scorers in the entire division in each of those seasons. Just out of interest who assisted his 1 goal?

Just out of interest who assisted his 1 goal? Well said fella. Akanbi can run around like a headless chicken, but doesn't look clinical in front of goal. The Tonbridge fans I know would have happily driven him to Clarence Park to facilitate his move.

Jeffers just does not provide that to the team 3 games is a ridiculous small sample size but in his last 3 starts Jeffers has 3 goals and a assist, so it makes no sense to favour Akanbi over him on that basis. On current form he simply not contributing more. Of course Akanbi might be able to do certain things better than Jeffers, Peter Crouch is better in the air than Lionel Messi. You have to judge players in the round if you been watching St Albans for the last 2 seasons and cannot see that he is top class striker at this level than I no idea what game you been watching. Not only has he 54 league goals in the last two seasons but his movement is so good- clever (economy of effort)- that he makes space for others and generally makes us a better team.

The club going nowhere, accept that and move on.
