thanks for the updates Henry, sounds promising considering the amount of chopping and changing and that we are probably 6 or 7 short of a competitive squad. Kettering did well in the Conference last season.
[cite]Posted By: Shrew[/cite]Its good that Akpo is finding the net, maybe a good partnership with Bauza will happen.
If Akpo can stay fit for 35 + games next season AND we keep sticking the ball on his bonce inside the box then he'll get at least 10 to 15 goals next season. Two big 'ifs' I know, but whilst he's no silky striker, he is effective if used properly. My biggest concern with him is his injury record, hopefully the summer rest and a proper pre-season will help him in that department.

Sounds like a better team performance, and after 3 games there seems to be an improvement, not only in the goals but the team performance Thanks for the update guys..... be interesting to read your views on the whole game and individuals/team performance.

These early pre-season games are all about getting the players physically working again - and they are specifically instructed not to overstretch themselves. It's a gentle work-out practice match kick about. The result doesn't matter at all, but nevertheless good to build a winning mentality.
The team had only trained for 5 days before the Wimbledon game, so if they looked rusty and unfit - well, surprise, surprise.
Wimbledon had had an additional week's training under their belt and it showed.
Against Welling, other players played for the first time, and of course with a little more fitness, the team looked much improved.
The team has now trained for 2 weeks, several of the players have 3 games under their belt and perhaps today showed that fitness is fast kicking in.

Apparently, he's used to being called "Bussy".
Even I've probably got a fair chance of pronouncing that right.
Akpo hit side netting then bauza hit it out of ground.

Tuna makes it 4-0 from a Reid pass right on full time.
Nothing flaky? That's the result in the can.
I'll look forward to reading your report on your OS shortly.
;o)
Glad Tuna scored, made a few mistakes when he came on against Welling and seemed to lose a bit of confidence and probably got a bit frustrated.
It might be Kettering and a friendly but still good to hear we kept a clean sheet and 4 goals. I feel dissy not used to so many goals in our favour.
Yep that's why they are called the Poppies
There's a photo of afka wearing it on another thread along with the matching hat.
Sounds like a good day all round!
