Pre Season Update

[joyno1]

Well it seems absolutely ages since I have come on hear to give some form of Update to the board, club and of course our special fans.

we have completed our first week in which we have had around 40 boys in training some of those from our younger age groups so we can build on the foundations we want within the club and for boys to see there actually is a pathway to the first team.

The level of the boys we have seen this last week has been very encouraging not just from the youngsters but also from players we have invited in to improve and strengthen our team, this also included the new signings of David Knight and Dan Gould.

For obvious reasons I do not want to give to much away but we feel that the group of lads with us already will improve us with a number of exciting attacking options available to us which we felt scoring goals was an issue we had and now feel that we have much more strength to this side now. 

We have also bought in some additional midfield and defensive options which we are looking at to see if this could also improve the group further and as the sessions pass I will be able to give further information on this as it develops.

Also most of the current squad has returned and are looking in good shape considering the long lay off we have had.

Early days yet but very encouraging will update again shortly Joyno

Thanks for the update Paul. You’re right about the youngsters, I’ve watched the under 16 EJA side and was really impressed with some of the players on show. It was also good to see they were playing a passing game with good technique, it bodes well for the future.

Thank you and yes agree with your comments and a number of the under 16's have been in training and will be progressing into the under 23's for this season I'm sure.
