2016-17 National League South

[Raymondo316]

Didn't know that! I'd have taken him back here! Hero in these parts.

Not at PP anymore which is why I will go to the friendly there in pre season! New ground and all that!

Aiming to be in the Conference National & playing in front of crowds of 1200 by 2020 http://kentishfootball.co.uk/news/greenwichstadium140615

Last time i saw us play Greenwich they had like 20-30 fans....so i dunno where this sugar daddy intends all these people to come from..

Interesting that. Another Whitehawk?

As much as we have a rich owner, we had the typical non league crowds before he took over. We've not come from nothing. There's a lot of planned developments locally which has kept our owner interested. This area could become big. Don't mean to say we will, but there's potential.

We just have to get out of this league first!

Binnsy confirmed on Twitter last night that he's left the club. Disappointed to see, he was played out of position almost all last season and I was looking forward to him been given a run as a left sided midfielder/winger this season.

 

[Joe.]

Jordan Parkes signs on for the coming season while Jack Connors signs from Dagenham. Not sure if I've seen him play unless he played against York a couple of seasons ago!

 

[Aberstone]

We've signed defender Eddie Oshodi from St. Albans City. Formerly of Forest Green and Hemel.

Very good signing.

Woah! Not sure what he was like with Hemel or St Albans but really rated him when he was with FGR.

 

[Raymondo316]

Must say i been impressed with the team Wealdstone are putting together..

Not a bad bet to make playoffs

 

[Aberstone]

We'll see, currently we have no athletic central midfielders, one winger, no left back and one out and out striker. I'd imagine we'll be in for a couple of players who live in the local vicinity, get them in and that will be a statement of intent.

 

[Joe.]

Sean Shields signs on for next season.

Ashmore, Winfield, Connors, Rance, Parkes, Deering and Shields all confirmed as being here for next season. I imagine Clark, McLean, Kissock, Kedwell, Miles, Fish and Acheampong will be signed up too with 3 or 4 more coming in.

 

[Joe.]

We've currently got 16 players signed up.

Jonathan Miles, Nathan Ashmore, Matt Fish, Kenny Clark, Dave Winfield, Reiss Greenidge, Jack Connors, Anthony Cook, Sam Deering, Dean Rance, Stuart Lewis, John Paul Kissock, Jordan Parkes, Sean Shields, Aaron McLean and Danny Kedwell.

Anthony Acheampong and Charlie Sheringham yet to agree terms. Hoping both of them are released and 3 or 4 more come in.

4 youth players signed onto first team contracts too.

 

[Joe.]

Signed Mark Phillips from Braintree yesterday after he rejected their offer of a new contract. Charlie Sheringham signed a new deal today while Anthony Acheampong was released. McMahon is after a striker and I imagine that will be our business done unless one or two who will improve us pop up.

 

[Aberstone]

Delays in the announcement of our new chairman, I'm sure we'll find out soon enough.

The players start pre-season training tomorrow, given our slow starts in recent seasons I'm hoping greater emphasis is put on fitness.

 

[Sparrow]

Mike Smith.

 

[Chris FGR]

See Whitehawk have signed an Argentinian and two Brazilians, two of whom have never even played in Europe before.

How does that work regarding work permits?

No idea, but they've clearly been spending too much time on Football Manager.

We've signed out-of-contract Bradley Bubb from Oxford City. Good signing I feel. Not sure he will get 30 goals like Matty Godden did, but he will certainly contribute along with Danny Kedwell and Aaron McLean (if McMahon actually plays him!). Just hope our midfield can be a little more creative this season!

 

[Aberstone]

^^^^^

Decent signing for the 'Fleet that. I suspect we may have initially been in for Bradley Bubb, given he lives nearby but wouldn't be able to get close financially. Not a gripe, just an observation.

Whitehawk are either winning the league or going down with their International XI.

Hopefully its the latter.

Fleet fans are really fucking me off. Banging on about signing a goalscorer after Godden left. Now we've signed one (and kept the two above) it's not enough - we need a tall striker to hold the ball up! Absolute tools. I'm delighted with the signing. 1 in 2 striker pretty much throughout his career. I notice a Wycombe fan on Twitter early say about us splashing the cash now. Has he been in a dark hole for the past three years? We now have four strikers who are very much capable of getting goals at this level. McMahon needs to find his best XI fast as for too long last season he didn't know it and kept rotating. We can't afford that again.

I'm with DSL. Hope it's the latter for Whitehawk.

 

[Aberstone]

Hemel have signed Jonny McNamara from Hitchin, paying an undisclosed fee. Balls, they've got a good player there.

Your more than welcome to our ''tall striker who holds up the ball''

Still cant believe we re-signed Jay May....considering he majorly struggled in the South, hes gonna be useless against even better players.

 

[Aberstone]

Did Jay May score against anyone else other than ourselves?

If we go out and sign a tall striker who can hold the ball up it will signal we intend to play hoof ball. No thanks! we've got the players to knock it about and create chances for themselves and others around them. Lumping it forward plays into the opposition hands as their defenders are all mammoths!

 

[Raymondo316]

He scored the odd goal here and there, but other then that he was pretty useless.

Most fans were happy when he didnt play. We played a lot better!! Constant hoof ball with no game plan was our team when Jay May started.

 

[Lew]

Great signing that, Joe.

How did he fare with you guys?

 

[Raymondo316]

Whats Acheampong like?? Was so drunk at the final, i remember very little about who actually played well or bad

Got to admit, I'm not a fan. Solid enough defender but in the air everything just goes up. There's no control there. Constant hoof as well, will work well with Jay May!

Nice bloke, but not a great defender. Was glad when we signed two new ones! Would have been 4th/5th choice had he stayed.

 

[Silver Stone]

So basically Manny Parry then

 

[Lew]

Not great but that was only because he wasn't played enough or properly. We all knew what Bubb would offer sadly AS couldn't see it. Goalscoring record says it all.
