A big miss in my opinion, got injured then never played again ! Don't really get that ? No wonder the guy walked.

Re: Players in & out

I don't recall anything about an injury. He got sent off at Billericay and never appeared again after serving the subsequent suspension despite being named on the bench for most of those games. He appeared between the sending off and the suspension kicking in fourteen days later, so the dismissal can't have been the problem. I think his final appearance was in the Tooting disaster, so something must have happened that night?
This was the player many of us expected to captain us to promotion, having done that for Bromley in the division above last year. To my eyes it looked like he was severely compromised by having to do a primarily defensive role in a two man central midfield for much of the season, when I'm sure he potentially had a lot more to offer.

Re: Players in & out

Indeed interesting one this one. Pre season he looked quality but im afraid that never materialised through the season. He looked desperately to be searching for form. The 2 man midfield could have something to do with it. At the risk of opening a can of worms the 2 alongside Carew always have their work cut out, as without the ball we can be overrun. Waldren scored a lot of goals from set pieces at previous clubs but I don't recall him taking a single one for us
I saw on a FB thread someone had said, you don't leave your best player on the bench. Quite simply he wasn't.
He may have produced in the past (and I believe he will in the future) but he didn't click for us
Without doubt his attitude and commitment could never be questioned.Ive never seen a player enjoy scoring as much
I don't think hell be the last to go, but I don't think many others wil leave in such a dignified manner

For much of the season Waldren was the only one alongside Carew in midfield, then when we finally began playing with three in midfield he wasn't one of them! Having such an experienced and accomplished player on the bench at the business end of the season and not using him in the second half in the play off final seems incredible.

Not a surprise. Nice guy but under performed massively based on his credentials.
Watch him knock in 20 goals for Tonbridge next season, now I have said that :-0

Surprised by this one, as he said he thought he would be staying when I asked him at the Playoff Final!
New goalkeeper I would think.

Rob Tolfrey perhaps?
http://m.yourlocalguardian.co.uk/sport/14468037.Kingstonian__Tolfrey_will_take_time_over_next_move/
Played for Gavin & Junior's original Hamlet Aspire Academy team c.2002-4, then had a season as our regular reserve keeper before linking up with Gavin & Junior again at Beckenham Town when they very nearly beat Maidstone to the Kent League championship in 2005/6.
At the start of this season I felt Phil Wilson may be a potential weak link, as I felt we had the strongest squad in the league, but probably not the best goalkeeper. Having said that, Phil was so well established at our club, and still delivered consistently excellent performances for two thirds of the season until an abrupt loss of form as the Spring Slump kicked in.
I think a lot of people do regard Rob Tolfrey as the best keeper in our league, and he certainly saved his team from a complete humiliation on Boxing Day. Main competition could come from Hampton, who are also looking for a new keeper after relying on a sequence of loan signings from League clubs in recent months, and whose manager Alan Dowson worked with Tolfrey at Kingstonian.
A real shame to see such a great servant as Phil leave though. Our best all-round keeper since Les Cleevely, who had three seasons around the turn of the century. Very composed and totally commanded his defence. Not as mobile or adventurous at coming beyond the six yard box as some modern keepers, but you never saw defenders going for the same ball as him, or him and a defender both leaving a ball. It's hard to recall us ever conceding as a result of a misunderstanding between Phil and a teammate. And he was a massive physical presence in facing down forwards in one-on-one situations; he must have made the goal look tiny to them. I especially remember his performance in the 1-1 draw at Maidstone in November 2014 when he repeatedly denied them as we came under intensive pressure, then saved a penalty after Terrell Forbes had been sent off.

His arrival has made the BBC sports news:

Of course Junior Kadi was once assistant coach to his father with the Sierra Leone national team , so our new man is possibly well known to Junior.

New Signings
Views: 1768
Sanchez Ming has returned, capable of playing on the winger or at right back.
Nathan Green has joined from Margate, I should imagine he's our replacement for Jordan Brown.
Michael Chambers has also returned, centre back coming from Welling. If we manage to keep Ethan I think that'll undoubtedly be one of the best partnerships in the league with a very young combined age!
According to the website we've also signed Alfred Mugabo from Enfield Town. Was involved in Arsenals Academy setup and was destined for good things, but nothing ever came from him and he also suffered a nasty injury. Believe he is a winger.
