Re: Squad for Sunday 10th Nov (Home to Continental) & Training This Wednesday

Trevor has named a squad of 16 as follows, although at the moment we have no idea if half of these are available, so I will be texting and phoning everybody shortly to find out (unless they confirm on here or use Teamer to do so):
Adam Griffin (GK)
Terry Moore
Lexton Harrison
George Stahlmann
Adam Krstic
Ali 'TJ' Sowe
Martin Cruickshank
Krishan Singh
Danny Hagan
Daniel Cascoe
Ryan Foreman
Leon McKenzie-McKay
John Scouller
Jack Bangs
Lee King
Rafiel Johnson


Frankie Karemo and Junior Brown (in that order) are on standby at the moment to come into the squad if anybody cannot play.

Adam Krstic and Raf have been put in the squad because we have been told they actually attended training last night, whereas nobody else did (apart from Jack) because they knew it was just going to be a kickabout with Riaz and his mates. I have no idea if they were able to have a decent session or not.

Trevor also had a difficult choice to make in who to put in the squad out of the numerous players who were in the squad last Sunday but cried off at the last minute. At the moment Frankie is the odd one left out, but I will be amazed if all 16 players named above are actually available, so I'm sure he will end up in the squad anyway.

The biggest problem we have for this match is that Jack Tompkins, Garry Cover and Alan Barnard are all unavailable, so the only other registered player we have who is a capable enough goalkeeper is Adam Griffin. However, Griff wants to play as an outfield player. Needless to say, if he is unavailable this Sunday or refuses to go in goal, then we are going to be in serious sh!t as it will almost certainly result in half the squad dropping out in case they end up 'between the sticks'. The only way we will then be able to avoid a non-fulfilment is for an outfield player in the squad to volunteer and confirm that on here before Sunday morning so that everybody knows in advance...or Barney plays in goal again...torn thigh muscle or not !
One consolation is that Continental are apparently having exactly the same problem...or so they claim !

As for lifts to the venue, Martin and Lee will have to walk there...which I think they have done before at Hazelwood ? Terry is going to give me a lift and help me open up/put the nets up if I still don't have my car back. Trev will pick up Jack as normal. Griff and Adam live within walking distance of Hazelwood, albeit a 20-30 minute walk, so hopefully that will encourage them to play. I believe George gets a train or bus to Hazelwood from Finsbury Park ?

Daniel Daley is now apparently out 'injured ?' for a month, but he is apparently going to be 'Assistant Manager' (and dressing room DJ ? ) for this match instead. Unlike one of our players who won't be there for this match (unless he helps us out by going in goal), I think Daley actually agrees with our Manager's tactics !?

Re: Squad for Sunday 10th Nov (Home to Continental) & Training This Wednesday

We have 12 players who have confirmed their availability so far, and they are:
Terry Moore
Lexton Harrison
George Stahlmann
Adam Krstic
Ali 'TJ' Sowe
Krishan Singh
Danny Hagan
Daniel Cascoe
Ryan Foreman
Leon McKenzie-McKay
John Scouller
Jack Bangs


Perhaps not surprisingly, Adam Griffin (GK) has conveniently disappeared.
We therefore might have to hope that the latest weather forecast for 10.00.a.m. - 2.00.p.m. tomorrow (Saturday) is correct and that the game gets called off waterlogged pitch !

Re: Squad for Sunday 10th Nov (Home to Continental) & Training This Wednesday

Griff is playing.

Just waiting to hear from Martin, Lee and Raf now.
Leon normally uses Teamer but hasn't yet. He didn't say last Sunday that he wasn't playing, so I am only guessing that he is.
I have clicked 'Yes' on Teamer for those who have told me they are available but have lost their passwords.
