We must be able to put together a pretty decent Missed Out XI from this embargo

You’d have to stick McCallum up top, who scored his 16th of the season today.

 

[Paddypel]

14 goal Matt Smith.

And also Callum Hendru put up double figures for them last season. He’s their 3rd choice at best.

Just got to get the damn embargo lifted now!

I guess the price is right.

Come on down !

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

An Essex boy - born Harlow and now Bishop Stortford based - he played for England schoolboys but turned down offers of pro deals as he wanted to be a golfer.

Will help his transition that he’s been playing full time the last year and a half.

Until this season he’s been very successful - Kings Lynn finished 2nd last season in NLN with 93 points and the second best defensive record. The year before he helped Cheshunt get promoted to NLS via the playoffs keeping 22 clean sheets along the way and winning all their player of the year awards.

Here’s him scoring a hattrick https://cheshuntfc.com/2021/11/24/wingate-finchley-1-adam-crowther-3-all-the-goals/

Was on trial here pre-Covid back when Maher was u23 boss.

Do you know if he is left or right sided?

Do you think it's with a view to play right away or for the future?

Could it mean we will put Taylor back into midfield? I believe Taylor is better in the back 3 though.

Crowther is a right-sided centre-back who plays on the right of a back three.

I mentioned him here in the summer as a potential target for us:

[Holy Joe]

Thought the feedback from EGM (?) was a left sided defender?

 

[BoyWonder2]

 

[Fairport]

Adam Crowther could be just what we need, we really could do with a central defender who can score a few goals. We just cannot seem to score from corners or free kicks, solving this problem would be a huge bonus.

We also need another keeper Then Martin can go back to goal keeper coaching

I don't think that is a priority at the moment - Martin has said he is happy to be playing and was our MOM yesterday so, along with Collin, I think we are ok for now.

Isn’t Rushall Olympic where Sam Manton ended up ?

I see Sam play against bishop stortford a few weeks ago and he still has it, was playing out wide and then drifting into the middle to get the ball, most things came from him b4 he was substituted with about 35 mins to and that surprised me as he was there best player up to that point.

Still has it? Bloke was a dreadful player! Played well for about 3 months when he joined. How he was captain I'll never know.
