Scouting Mission

[The Big Shrimp]

Me & my partner decided to take a much needed long weekend away in the Cotswolds, this weekend just gone. Whilst she went shopping in Cheltenham, I went to watch the local lot play Sven's mercenaries, as its a ground I hadn't been to before.

To cut a long story short, I was impressed with Cheltenham's central defender, Michael Townsend. Big, strong, mobile, calm on the ball, commanding & seemed a reasonable passer of the ball. When you consider that he was up against either Lee Hughes or the impressive Luke Rodgers, who was replaced by Karl Hawley & who did nothing.

Cheltenham have less money than us & I think he would be a decent signing in January.

Of the few that travelled to Cheltenham for the League Cup, what did you think of him?

I know nothing about Micheal Townsend but I think it is more than a fair comment that we don't use the lower league signings the way we used to. you only have to look as far as Dagenham to realise the success a team can have, on a massively limited budget, pulling talent out the lower leagues.

The next Eastwood may be out there playing for Kiddiminster, unlikely but baring in mind our finances it may be a good direction to be looking.

Talking of D & R, how about that Paul Benson ? He seems good.

Yeah he does seem quite handy. He has just signed a new long term contract with D&R though.

Doesn't he hate Southend with a passion though ;)

... are you sure? How much do they owe the Inland Revenue ?

 

[Pubey]

there's nothing to stop you emailing Ron/Tilly and mentioning this.

The reason we never get anyone from the non-league nowadays is because they often want a fee and we are potless.

It's not the length of the rod, it's the baity bit on the hook that catches them. :)

I know, but I did correct it almost immediately. Its difficult trying to send texts when you're not meant to be!

Never got the second one mate.

You really don't need to share everything with the good folk of the Zone mate
