    Kennedy is nowhere near the first team.

    Surprised seeing the amount of goals he seems to be popping up with at the moment

    Why do you think he's no where near the First Team?

    Because with our current injury problems, players like Umerah, Ahearne-Grant and Hanlan are ahead of him.

    Another shout out for Lapslie, but he like Aribo and Konsa needs to be managed well. When Karl gushes about Aribo being the next Deli Ali for example it is the wrong call for a player with limited experience. We have all seen Lookman have indifferent games this season, and it has drawn a degree of Foxesque bile from some of our fans, George Lapslie, Archie Edwards and others ought to be allowed to grow into their promise in the right way.
    On those two I think Edwards remains physically unready just now, and Lapslie gives absolutely everything for an hour and would find it hard at the moment to sustain 90 minutes in men's football. Both good players, don't get me wrong.

    The quotes I've seen have been taken totally out of context. I think he only compared the 2 with the facts that they both got 3 assists. Could be wrong though.

    Either way it never does any harm to the price tag which will please Roland.

    The only bus that stops right outside is the 160 but B15, B16, 122, 124, and 321 all stop within a few minutes walk. It's on Middle Park Avenue, just off the South Circular at the old Yorkshire Gray (now Macdonalds) roundabout. Ground is also known as home of Greenwich Borough and Cray Wanderers.

    Fine near him but other areas will be rammed. ;)

    As it is an U23 game in the rain on a work day i would guess you look for someone without a Cardigan and you have a 50/50 chance.

    Arrived but no sign of a gold jumpsuit.

    Do you think Dick lied to me or is just late.

    Forster -Caskey starts as does "NF (trialist)". Seems like he's a left back rather than a right winger as playing no.3.

    Otherwise usual

    Trialist is said to be Nathan Fox from Brentford.

    No, I've never heard of him either but has a beard too. We've found our new scapegoat.

    When we have signed three left backs recently (Chicksen, Dasilva, and Page), why bother with trialing another?
  • Their No 10 should be Jarred Welch not Welsh, even if Welsh would be fitting for a Cardiff player!

    His surname is Fox. Will save on shirt printing.

    Barnes just crunched their no.2 legally. Stop in play.

    Cafc on top but not many chances.

    Dijsteel at the back, Kennedy looks a bit chubby.

    And may makes in 1 nil after good work from Umerah.
