A great shame our manager's two first choice defenders from Hemel were also wanted by Forest Green but hopefully he has been working on other replacements to fill the gap. Also agree that we need at least one more striker and possibly two because not sure how many games we can get out of Andy ...

We appear to have 16 players contracted so far this season of which we have 3 goalkeepers and it seems a lot of midfielders. Whether this means that Haigh is on his way out I sincerely hope not.
As I have said before it wouldn't surprise me if Lee Allinson is looking to offload Howes, Dieng and ...

Antony Papadopoulos is a Dagger. A midfielder who is 23 years old.

As I have said before, Haigh staying with us on a two year deal would be a huge signing for the club.

We lost out to Forest Green in signing Kyle Ajayi the centre half and captain of Hemel Hempstead and it appears that the same will happen to Darion Dowrich a left back from Hemel Hempstead. If this is the case hoping he has replacements lined up.

Kymani Thomas is a Dagger. A winger signed from Brentwood Town on a one year deal.

Josh Hare has left Hornchurch, would he be a player we would be interested in?

Lee Allinson's squad is taking shape, however, we currently have only fourteen players contracted of which three are goalkeepers. We also seem to have a lot of midfield players. Not sure how the discussions are going with Oteh,Lawless and Haigh.
With his own players coming in this week it makes me ...

Always going to raise a few eyebrows given his surname, but he is a bloody good player for this level. He’s come out and addressed the elephant in the room and said judge him on his actions and not his surname, which is fair enough. The Tamplin saga was somehow 8/9 years ago and he would have been ...

Archie Tamplin is a Dagger. Signed from Chelmsford, a young player with experience last season of playing in this division.

I'm a little sceptical so far. Probably because we've had so many false dawns over the last few years.

On paper they're 3 good players. But two of them are getting on and being given 2 year deals. I think their best years are behind them so I hope they're not part of the retirement home that ...

Ashmore is a very good goalkeeper. I can see Howes leaving as Allinson rates Ashmore highly and describes him as the best goalkeeper in the league.

This seems to be a regular theme amongst owners, they start off with ambitious plans to get clubs promoted but then realise that it is far from easy and more expensive than they thought. It’s a tough job owning a football club and feel sorry for the Southend fans who thought they were the saviours ...

Another new signing in Kane Chrichlow a midfielder from Sutton United. Don't know much about him but hopefully a decent player.

Seen a few names linked on X/Instagram

Kyle Ajayi from Hemel
Darion Dowrich from Hemel
Kymani Thomas from Brentwood Town
Harry Beautyman from Woking

Also seen rumours that Haigh is set to sign a new deal.


No guarantee obviously, but Haigh could be a bigger steal than any other summer ...
