Thanks. Going to be posting my preseason changes soon. Have been frantically trying to make moves when I realized that I addressed my midfield a lot but my offers to defenders weren't getting accepted. Realized that when I didn't have enough defenders to change them all out during friendlies.

Have been frantically making offers.

Will be updating soon.

[EagleFan]

Question, has anyone had issues with offers getting made public bfore you wanted them to? That wasn't happening when I was with Cambridge but every offer that I have made with this team keeps getting out.

Any suggestions on what may trigger this?

[EagleFan]

Hampton & Richmond

GK - Michael Oakes (36, England) - Solid keeper and the starter, good reflexes, very athletc and has a good head for the game.

GK - Robert Murray (22, England) - Far from Oakes' current level, gets out of position and needs to improve but shows that he could become a decent replacement for Oakes once his career with the club ends

SW, D C - Dean Wells (25, England) - Determined, aggressive, good tackler and a great work ethic, best central defender on the squad, only real weakness is his lack of speed.

D RC - Lee Ayres (27, England) - Free transfer this offseason. Brought in for depth. Good at marking but doesn't have the speed I would like to see.

D R - Lee Hodson (18, N. Ireland) - On loan from Watford for the season. Very fast and very fit, loses focus once in a while.

D RC, WB R, DM, M C - Ashley Woolliscroft (30, England) - Free transfer this offseason. Added only for depth. Team player but not a starter by any means.

D R, M C - Jonathon Hogg (21, England) - Free transfer this offseason. Brought him in for a few games while I was at Cambridge and thought he could help the team when I saw him on the free transfer market. Very athletic and has a balanced all-around game.

D/WB/M L - Craig Tanner (24, England) - Fit, good with the ball, good crossing ability.

D C -Callum Burgess (20, England) - Free transfer this offseason. Athletic and good in the air but sometimes loses focus. Brought in for depth.

D C - Joe Connor (25, England) - Fit and quick, marks well but not a good tackler, 1 yellow away from a suspension.

D/WB/M R - Jay Lovett (32, England) - Good team player, no real standout strengths.

D/WB/AM L - Jamie Price (22, Wales) - Very good all around player but lacks speed and stamina.

D/M C - Alan Inns (28, England) - Very good in the air, lacks skill in dribbling around an opponent.

DM, M C - Danny Brown (29, England) - One of the stars of the team, great with the ball, great team player, does lack speed which can be a hinderance.

M C - Nathan Burke (18, England) - Has speed, lacks in most other areas.

M C - Liam Darville (19, England) - Free transfer this offseason. Athletic with speed and has flair but not good with set pieces.

M C - Bai Mas Lettejallow (26, England) - Average player, used in rotation, no real strengths

AM RLC, FC - Craig Johnston (27, England) - Has some speed, lacks aerial ability.

AM R, ST - Danny Forrest (25, England) - One of our stars, has some speed an solid all around, has played mostly at striker but may be better a a right midfielder. Looking to make him a midfielder more this season for his strength.

AM LC, F C - Joel Byrum (23, England) - Has some speed but no major stengths.

AM L, ST - Soheil-Vosough Tehrani (18, Iran) - Aggressive and athletic with some flair but gets out of place far too often. There for depth. Was the only member of the team on a World Cup team, though he saw no playing time for Iran. Called him up from out youth/reserve for depth.

ST - Mohammed Dikuiza (20, England) - Has some speed but little else presently, has potential to develop into an okay player. His playing tme late last season (due to injury) gave him the confidence that he has carried into our friendlies this season. This gives us the change to play him at striker and move Forrest to right midfield.

ST - Ian Hodges (27, England) - Another one of our stars, very good team player.




Watford - We have affiliated ourselves with Watford. This will give us a very good source of young players which we may receive on loan.

Time for the season to get underway. We just want to avoid relegation this season and hopefully build for the future. I am not as confident aftertis promotion as I was after getting Cambridge promoted as I wasn't able to make the same kind of impact signings that I had then.

We play on the road as we travel to play Gateshead.

I have signed a second scout, Ian Wilson (a 40 year old Englishman). I was impressed with his ability to recognize potential in players and felt that he would be a very good addition to the club. The board will allow us to have a second scout and okay his hiring.

- Jonathon Hogg is named man of the match

[EagleFan]

August 15, 2010

Made an addition to the team as we finalized a transfer with Stevenage and signed midfielder Mitchell Cole. He will be a great addition to the team as he has speed to burn and is great at dribbling forward and crossing into the box.
