On the way to Maidstone... No idea what his wages were like in terms of this supporting the continuing rebuild but can't get past his avoiding memories being the last game of last year with relegation on the line

Rashawn Scott signs after the recent Trial appearances... Happy with this one

Trialists from last night appear to be:

Trialist A - CM who played first half - Yacou Traore, played for Middlesborough u/21's and had a loan spell at Wealdstone last season

Trialist B - AM who came on 2nd half and played against Aveley - Rashawn Scott - played a lot for Reading u/21 and ...

Did this young man get a run out again? Has officially left Maidstone now and looked decent coming on at Aveley in a poor team performance.

Didn't manage to catch any of the Trialist details from yesterday

Well that build up to the first Home friendly after the Carroll signing died a death swiftly... Miles off from an attacking perspective, despite better build up play than Aveley and 8 goals conceded in three games.

When does the pre season properly begin for us I wonder

Interesting game... I see they just signed Dion Pereira and he scored twice in their first pre-season game last week. Hopefully we can keep him quiet for 90 minutes and get something useful to show to what is likely to be a decent crowd given the Carroll signing.

He'll score a bucket load. He's playing against NLS defenders. We give him the right service, he'll get loads.

This is a great night to be a Dagger!!!

Let's be positive, embrace the change, and see where it takes us.

We've gone from Serry to this. It's fantastic for the club. We have lift off ...

Only seen first half team listed that included two trialists, Hemmings on bench, Wilson still not available and Umerah up front. On bench we had a further three trialists.
Would hope that Marsh and Wilson will be fit at the start of the season because impossible to judge any of these games at the ...

If he stays fit! BIG question isn’t it? He’s had a career blighted by injury but IF he can stay fit he should be an asset not only on the pitch but also in the dressing room his experience could be priceless. (the influence he could have on youngsters like Hemings could be immense) but a 3 year ...

As much as I am pleased to see Anwar's name in the mix, as the club has been missing a football head since the late great Dave Andrews (RIP) retired, I can't help but remember that Tamplin brought in Paul Benson to win people over.

100% acquisition - where do the full members stand in this ...

1 goal in two games against inferior opposition, same problems last season with no strikers any good or fit enough to play.


Any suggestion we got a decent first half out of Umerah? Not expecting 25 goals this season but these first two games should have been a confidence builder after Solihull ...

Anyone in attendance tonight? I assume the Trialists were the same tonight as last Friday? Slightly different starting XI by the look of social media but nothing I can see confirming a second half XI

Ebbsfleet will be pleased with that first game

We have nineteen players contracted for the season including two goalkeepers.
In our game against Aveley we also had six trialists involved.
I would imagine that there are one or two players inherited from last season that Lee Bradbury would like to offload if possible.
My question is how many ...
