A new team

Is anyone in a position to give us the team names for these friendlies so as we can look up their profile.

Sorry Ron you won't get this until a player signs forms although the match report from the East Grinstead game last week is now on the website

I had asked the same question and was given the same answer. I am not sure whose rule this is. I t led to our Saturday equaliser being scored by an unnamed scorer. It seems a player is prepared to play I a friendly behind closed doors without being named. Who are we protecting, the player or the club? Surely if the fans only access to pre season friendlies is via twitter, given these unprecedented times, then the fans should be made aware of who is, and who isn't available to play this coming season. We want the fans to come, but other than loyalty, why should they. This last two seasons we have had over a hundred players turning out for us so the signatures don't really count for much even in the season. It does seem to be a bit strange.

It protects both the club and the player. I understand at the first game there were over 30 players many of them trialing. Many are probably trialing elsewhere and being looked at by other clubs so it is only right their identity is kept under wraps for both parties sake. Gradually as Barnesy gets closer to his squad I am sure we will see new signings announced via the website/social media. I just think we need to be patient. If you read the match report from the East Grinstead game several players are named. I understand a match report will be posted on the website for each PSF.

The unnamed players are obviously looking for a team for the coming season. They are going to go to the highest bidder. Why should we not know this? We have had over 100 players who "signed" in each of the past two seasons ..... Where is the protection for the club?

But this happens every pre season. I am sure in the coming weeks as Barnesy picks his squad then things will become clearer and I am positive under our manager we will see a settled squad. Hopefully we should see some confirmed signings very soon.

Like most of the supporters, I am happy with the manager and am relying on him to give us a competitive team. The funding of that team is, sadly at present, mainly from the Chairman, to whom each one of us is greatly indebted. I realise the boost the budget scheme operated by the supporters club helps. However, the Isthmian League are on record as saying there is no point in starting fixtures until supporters can come to matches. It is those supporters, and generous directors who are funding the players, so the question that needs to be answered is why those players object to their names being listed as appearing for a club in a pre-season friendly. It would help those supporters who are trying to follow the club via social media

Go ahead? It seems we had 22 players against Holmesdale on Saturday, and we've now been able to announce 6(?). seems the players have the whip hand,not the club. I'm not sure that is right in view of what has happened over the last couple of seasons. I seem to recall Einstein was a contact player and left before his contract was up.

Great to see that the team seems to be taking shape well before the season starts. Has there been a big investment been put in as the wage bill must be hugely increased given the player and staff numbers?

It was great for continuity to keep Barnesy and he seems to be doing a fine job in recruitment. I see there are 4 or 5 players still with us from the end of last season plus 5 new signings already announced. I have also seen 3 or 4 other names in the PSF match reports so the squad is definitely taking shape. It can only bode well for when the season finally starts although personally I can't see it being 19th September, more likely 3rd October in line with the National League, but who knows!

I can understand that some games required some written guidelines to follow them which provides the best option of game pay incorrect path. I have checked the best https://edubirdie.org/edubirdie-legit/ site options where many students getting the edubirdie legit option to complete any kind of writing work with the help of writing service options.
