Hello folks So then with over a 2 thirds of the season gone, who's been the best addition to your teams squad this year? Given our Sugar Daddy's willingness to splash the cash there have been a few new signings to choose from at the Terras but Lee Elam really stands out for me. He's been excellent for us this year - one of the best i've ever seen in Terracotta & Blue. Great on either wing, fantastic control & pace & loves taking people on - everything your average fan loves to see. Dodgy barnet mind you - looks like one of the blokes from Bucks Fizz!!  Ben Smith looks ever the part too but it's still early days |

This year? Chris Smith without a doubt, one of the best defenders in the NAt North in my opinion. But Danks' recent addition to the squad and his eye for goal puts him up there too!
What did you think of Adam Wilde? I believe he's gone to Salisbury.

Claridge bought him on the strength of one performance against us & to be honest there were a couple of moments of potential but in the main he was disappointing. A bit lightweight for my liking & goes missing when the muck & bullets start flying. Perversely he would probably fair better at a higher level where the football is less errr...agricultural. Given the luxury of time and space he would be very good

Blimey, when your manager has used over 50 players in the first team it's hard to decide!
Errr.....Graham Ward, I'll go for him but I'm hoping that by the end of April it will be Tommy Johnson as his goals will keep us up.

(my 2nd team) I'm sure he'll do the business for you boys |

Been a lot of sigings for us this season, especially the past couple of weeks with the new manage.
Most exciting one for us recently would be the return of Bucks hero Steve Palmer.

Got to be Ward, he has been phenomenl this season, probably the shortest guy on the team, and yet he jumps the highest!

I've put something about Chris Nurse elsewhere but I can't find it now, so: He's mainly used as a supersub coming on and making his presence felt. He's started the cup games we've played but as we only have a squad of twenty he'll get plenty of games. I like him, hard as nails and cultured too, a winning combination. I hope he stays with us whilst he's at Uni.

What did you think of Adam Wilde? I believe he's gone to Salisbury. Adam is at Salisbury after being released by Weymouth. He's non contract, think it's a case of him looking at us and us looking for him. Looks a real quality player though it's actually not that easy to fit him in the side. Scored a classy hat trick the other night in our Wilts Premier Shield win against Swindon which was a chance for our fringe players to impress, he'll certainly have given our manager something to think about. |

There's probably four...Gotta be the dynamic duo first though:
Baptiste and Wilson-Denis
When Ian Baird decides that he likes a player, we all now just sit back and expect to be shown why. It's not blind faith - he's just been right throughout!
These two were rejected and derided across Connie Sarff, as well as elsewhere (They've been around a bit between them) But since pairing up, have been bloody effective. If one goes AWOL through injury or suspension, we seem to struggle to score.
Likewise, Bairdy went for Darren Annon - was injured at the time, he came to us (Like Rocky) from Margate, having previously spent a few years at Farnborough. Solid full back.
My favourite is probably Guy Lopez DaCruz! Released from Barnet last May, he is one of the most effective - quietly effective - midfield players I've ever seen. He's like a Jack Russell - biting away at people ankles, getting them all wound up & cross. Wins the ball, loads of free kicks, runs for 90+ minutes without seemingly breaking into a sweat. Good, good player.
Take out any of the above, we most certainly notice the difference.
