Re: Squad for Sunday 9th March (Home to The Beehive)

Laurence Hughes
For some reason the League have not processed Tem Adil and Grant Baker's registrations before the 1st March deadline.

Tem is now listed on Full-Time as being eligible to play this Sunday but there is no sign of Grant Baker on there. I have no idea why. He is not suspended as I have checked that online...as I do with all new players we sign. There was nothing wrong with his photo either as far as I was concerned.

That will be very annoying if Mal is unavailable and we end up with no keeper again. Grant says he can play this Sunday if needed.

Re: Squad for Sunday 9th March (Home to The Beehive)

Grant Baker's registration confirmation has just come through in the post, so that means he can play this Sunday. It looks as if Denis Coventry has just forgotten to add him to Full-Time for some reason. If Grant was suspended, then he would be listed on there.

I have told Grant to turn up on Sunday, but he will only play in goal if Mal is not playing or if Mal has to play outfield because we only have 10 men. (I think Mal did that for Enfield Crusaders ?). Trevor told Grant that last week, so he is aware.
I have still heard nothing from Mal or from Lexton though, so at the moment, we do only have 10 men including Grant and Hagan.

I will be working all day tomorrow (Saturday), so somebody else will have to phone players to persuade them to come along and play/go sub if we still only have 10 men by tonight.

We still only have 10 including Grant.

Cas has got hold of sy and will be going to his house in the morning to pick him up to make sure he plays.

Re: Squad for Sunday 9th March (Home to The Beehive)

Lexton has apparently confirmed to Trevor that he is playing and Mal has re-tweeted my tweet about the match tomorrow which suggests he will be there as well, so if Sy turns up we should have 13...including two goalkeepers. In fact we could even have had three goalkeepers tomorrow as George texted me to say that Jack Tompkins now has a lot of free time and can play if needed !
