I think the goalie was Colin Court, but I don't know who he was signed from.

Will do when he's ready for 1st team.

He's American/Norwegian living in Switzerland but at school in Bearwood. 6ft 3ins at 15 and a very confidant outgoing personality. Already played for the under18's.

My Grandad took me for the first time against Aldershot, when we biked from Farley Hill when I was 7. We subsequently got a lift to Elm Park with Len Crook who was the landlord of the Fox and Hounds in the village at the time, and later took over the Spread Eagle opposite the ground. When we played ...

Bryan Carnaby played basketball for South Africa. Does that count?

Rads played for the Academy under 18's on Saturday, but came off injured.

Looks the image of Jordan Obita, but not as quick! Seemed ok though against Fallon who has lots of experience, and then went to right back for 2nd half and did good.

Just knew what it was going to be like when the dwarf referee did high 5's with the 4th official before the start!

All the Academy boys are allocated a range of jobs, not just cleaning players boots. Prized job is "tea boy" for making refreshments for management and coaches -- though pity the boy that had a smile on his face on a Monday if SSC had lost. Seriously it is one of the contributing factors a...

Anybody know what number he had at Wembley for Simod Cup. He played left back, but I seem to remember him in no 11?

Which is why Ivar refuses to play for them any longer

who have we lost lately that we really wanted to sign? Devine went to Villa for loads of money, and the Korean boys He and Sic went to Valecienne because of work permit problems. apart from that Steve Shorey and Steve Birchmore together with Eamonn have landed all their targets. Much more to come fr...

Of real significance is the number of players whose performance has greatly improved under BMc -- Long, Mills, Bryn, Jem added to the astute signings of Grif and the Russian General. Add that to tactics that come from analysing the opposition rather than coaching manuals, and substitutions that have...

Bring back "Fat Boy" and we'd make the News of the World as well.

Luke is Reserve physio, and Matt Hiron will step up from the Academy into his role, and a new Academy physio will be hired from the outside ( already done I think). So good bit of planning.

Called Eamonn Dolan after he left for Chelsea to eulegise over the players he had left in the Academy: Soares. Marum etc. Re record Cummins, Howard, Mills and Rasiak.

Hamer came through the Academy, was here as a 16 year-old.

Because he is taken off most games, even when the best player. Bet he will not be starting tonite. Thats why he will leave.

Excellent post, that has captured most of what has gone wrong so far. If you add to it a load of management speak that means nothing, and hyperbole that is out of this world ( eg Alex Pearce is the next John Terry and then dropping him from the next SQUAD !) No wonder the team crumbles at the first ...

Jake Taylor is a striker not full back!
