Not sure anyone else is up to scratch, even at NLS level Interesting. The squad has just finished 5th. Faal for example - not up to scratch at NLS level? Bivesh has started more than he hasn't... |

Bivesh would be one of the last players I’d keep hold of… so slow and can’t read the game well enough to compensate for his lack of pace. Faal I’m not sure, very inconsistent. Ultimately we finished where we did down to a lot of defensive solidity and some moments of individual brilliance. Highlighted best when you look at all the points amantchi won for us. So, even if we don’t go up I’d retain that core and then look To add some more quality. |

Oh yeah me too but I thought you were saying Faal, who has scored loads of goals at this level, wasn't yo to scratch in the NLS |

I’m apprehensive with him as I think he’s on a huge amount at Havant - and they’re currently topping up his wages still |

I updated my stats following the last game, and we got exactly the same points per game after Amantchi left as we did when he was with us. I'm not saying his loss didn't make any difference, of course, but it didn't ultimately affect the number of games we won or lost at all. |

For NLS just about the whole squad
For NL
Lucas Covolan
George Fowler
Both Sam’s
Jephte Tanga
Of the rest there are many I like (Lamarr, Chi, Reiss, Rushy) but not sure if any of them are up to NL without some special George sauce

I think you are saying his absence did make a difference at the same time it didnt make a difference. Statistically the results were the same but surely his extra goals would have produced more goals and more points over a full season. |

And imagine the sorry state we’d be in had his moments of brilliance not won us so many points on his own. He won us 13 points before he departed - enough to see us outside the play offs. |

I am saying what I said: "I'm not saying his loss didn't make any difference, of course, but it didn't ultimately affect the number of games we won or lost at all."We would probably have won more with him in the side and finished 2nd - had he stayed fit! Maybe even challenged Yeovil. Not arguing with that, and indeed I've said it several times on here. All I'm saying is that the assumption that we did worse without him is wrong - in terms of point per game, we actually did exactly the same. |

Just cos he scored 20 goals in the fìrst half of the season doesn't mean he would have done the same in the second half, 40 goals per year strikers are very rare. |

Since Sol's return from injury, I've been in two minds about him and whether we should keep him if we go up. But tonight's game made my mind up for me.
OK, he scores some nice goals, but, when he's not scoring goals, I'm not sure he does much to deserve a place in the team. He is a Prima Donna player, not a team player.
Tonight's game made me reevaluate my view of Rush too. I still think his lack of height and speed will give him trouble in the NL, but he has an eye for goal and a tenacity that gives him an edge. I think I'd give him a chance if we go up, to see what he can do. Hopefully, I'd be pleasantly surprised.
But I don't think I'd keep W-S, even if we don't go up.

Sol is not as effective in a game with no space. I reckon it was wise to take him out as Rush makes much more out of 50:50s. As for keeping him - difficult one. George knows and sees him every day. Hope we make the right call |

No offence jdl but this post shows how kneejerk us football fans can be, myself included. I have full faith in George to make the right decisions. One of the strengths of this seasons squad that was put together on a limited budget is the various options we have. Sol WS doesn't have the tenacity of a Tanga, Corne or Rush nor does he have the aerial presence of Faal but he's still a very decent player imho and one I'd be tempted to keep if he can stay injury free. Also one of the best at winning free kicks/penalties. Anyone who had not seen him regularly would put a ? on Kyprianou on todays performance but other games he has been one of our most reliable players imho. Personally, I think our players have improved, both collectively and individually as the seasons gone on and who is to say they couldn't continue to improve into next season so I would be happy if most of the regular starters re-signed for next season just add a few more quality signings with some of this seasons profits and we might have a NS title winning team next season (if we dont go up). Again I have full faith in our management team to make the right calls re next seasons squad. |

I quite like Sol and think he’s worth a chance as a squad player. He gives us different options and always keeps defenders on their toes. If he can stay injury free he’s definitely worth a shot. |

I like Sol as a NLS player.
Busy, tricky player but dont let us make Hak's mistake and sign up 75% of the squad.
Sol is another one that just won't make the cut imo.
I think George should limit himself to no more than 8 existing squad players maximum if we get promoted.
If we stay in NLS he will still need to freshen things up with at least 6 new faces.
