Bedese Posted November 2, 2017 Author Share Posted November 2, 2017 For 'firm diving header', read 'they cleared the ball right into his face and it flew past the goalkeeper.' Still, they all count! It's quite close... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedese Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 Injuries and suspensions mean more youth products come into the side for this game... against Bromley, who sit just a place behind us. What a place to make your debut! 6'5 16 year old Michael Charles steps into the heart of our defence, while Nicholas Springer-Downes gets the start at CM at just 15. Danny Moore retains his place upfront, and youth product Jonathan Tomlinson gets a spot on the bench for this one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedese Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 Michael Charles was great at CB, but Springer-Downes absolutely stole the show. He was absolutely everywhere, and his left footed volley from 20 yards out was an absolute peach. We've got a player here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedese Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 Marlon Jackson is an absolute saviour. 2-0 down at 88 minutes, and he hammers home two beautiful low shots to rescue a point in a game we really should be winning. That point keeps us in the playoff places. 3 games to go - can we hold on? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedese Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 We came out 4-1 losers in an even game, but, crucially, we still hold our destiny in our hands. If we beat 16th place Margate, we're in the playoffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedese Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 Awful. Awful, awful, awful. Our form at the end of the season was absolutely woeful, and we've limped to a really disappointing 9th place. We weren't going to make any noise in the playoffs, but to not even reach them after being in the playoff places for almost the entire season is a bitter pill to swallow.

Bedese Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 With the new season, we're going to try and get as many of the youngsters into the team as possible. Danny Moore will start upfront, and despite being just 1* CA, Nicholas Springer-Downes will - for now at least - be our starting Box to Box Midfielder. Jim Grimshaw and Michael Charles (at CM and CB respectively) will get their opportunities, too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedese Posted November 4, 2017 Author Share Posted November 4, 2017 The reason the compensation amount was so miniscule was (I'm assuming) because of the EPPP we have in England, which is one of the worst ever ideas with regards to Youth Development. Basically, we can do nothing to stop another club taking our youngsters, and all we get is compensation. That compensation varies based on the category of Youth Academy (we're Category 4 out of 4, which means we get the least) as well as number of games played in the football league I believe, but we're not in the football league so that's irrelevant. We need to bump up our category ASAP, but that costs a whole lot of money. In other circumstances, I wouldn't mind sitting at this level for a few years and building up the squad. but we need to get some cash into the club, which means cup runs (how costly not making it to the 1st round of the FA Cup in either year is...) and rising up the leagues. Even though we'd get absolutely battered in the Conference, I'm hoping we can find a way to get promoted and start to look at getting our Academy to a Category 3. EDIT: I forgot the most important part. Promotion means a chance to turn Professional, which would obviously give us a better chance of keeping our players. Although, if we offer our most talented youth players a part-time contract rather than a youth one, I believe that would stop any other team from being able to take them for a compensation fee. I'll try that out with the next bunch of players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedese Posted November 4, 2017 Author Share Posted November 4, 2017 Youth Intake Day! He's going to slot straight into the team as Danny Moore's replacement, but with just 5 finishing, he might not stay starting for long. We've been looking for a BWM, and Drey is going to come right into the starting 11. Excited about him. Two more good prospects on the left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedese Posted November 4, 2017 Author Share Posted November 4, 2017 So we've been able to sign those four onto Part-Time contracts, but those won't begin until they turn 17. Until then, they're on youth contracts, but does their future arrangement with us to turn Semi-Pro at a set date prohibit other clubs from signing them, or are they still free to move until the date on which they become Semi-Pro players here? We'll wait and see... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
