The squad (of 9) for the Broomfield match on Monday night is as follows (subject to availability): Garry Cover (GK)
Alan Barnard
Lexton Harrison
George Stahlmann
Danny Hagan
Younes Jouied
Krishan Singh
Leon McKenzie-McKay
Jack Bangs
If anybody drops out, the first-choice replacement will be Terry Moore.
Other players who are available have been left out (at the moment) either because they are not fit enough to play against a team like Broomfield (as was proved last time !), they are working (e.g. Daley), or they owe too much money.
Players left out of this match will all get a chance to play either in our Pre-Season Friendly on Sunday 4th August or in our 7-a-side League match the day after.
As for the goalkeeping situation, we are hoping to get a new goalkeeper from a goalkeeping coaching school to play in our 11-a-side Pre-Season Friendlies, but nobody from that school is available for this match.
I have put Garry in goal for the time being because he played in goal last Monday. It is up to Trev if he wants to change that and put either Adam Griffin, Simon Jackson or 'Lewis' in instead.
Here's the situation at the moment (Sunday evening)...
Leon has dropped out but Ben Keating is available as he is not working tomorrow, so we have put him in instead.
Lexton, Krishan, Younes & Garry have not yet confirmed their availability.
I have texted Lexton about three times over the past four days and he is not replying, so I presume he has lost his phone !
I have spoken to Trevor this evening and we agree to give Lexton up to 10.00.p.m. tonight to confirm his availability. If he doesn't, then Terry Moore will be called up to take his place instead.
I haven't bothered texting Garry as he always turns up, although it would help if he just clicked 'Yes' on Teamer !
Krishan and Younes are not replying to texts though. They never do until after 5.00.p.m. on the day of the match because Krishan doesn't know how he will be fixed for work. Trevor is happy to just take a risk that they won't drop out.
If they do, Ben says he has a mate who is a very good player and wants to play/join us, but Trev says he would rather see him in a Pre-Season Friendly than throw him in against Broomfield. He would rather call up Daniel Cascoe, Adam Krstic or John Scouller if Krishan or Younes drop out. Hopefully two of those three will be available at the last minute if neither Krishan or Younes get in touch to confirm their availability.
...and the current weather forecast for 8.00.p.m. on Monday night ? 'Violent' thunderstorms, 90% humidity and gale-force winds. Great.
