Robinson, Embury, Romain, Richards are all short light weight strikers so let’s play a strategy that does not require them to be 6’8” and 18 stone to score a goal!! Hang on didn’t we sign two Big lumps up from at the start of the season..!? Oh yes and that turned out brilliantly! I’ve now given up on how we win. Let’s start with passing it to team mates on the floor and go from there shall we!! Nice to see Lewington passing out from the back though. Unfortunately we need something between our penalty area and theirs to score goals... Yes, yes, yes yes, yes...........lets start passing on the ground to each other without losing possession and then, after a few games getting used to doing that, maybe we can dare to add taking on a player and beating him. By the end of the season when it no longer matters to us or our opponents we may start winning a game or two! Maybe that's what JS and HH are waiting for. When we are mathematically sunk, they can start rebuilding. Who knows? ??

But what did our players then do with the ball? 9 times out of 10 they just punted it aimlessly up the bloody pitch!

The problem with playing Embury this season is that he will be totally demoralised. Better to have him train with us and play for Herne Bay where at least he can keep scoring goals and have a confident start to next season.

He must look at our strike force now an think well I can do better than this lot with my eyes closed.

Good feature on Jake in this week's KM. Sounds a confident young man, still only 19, and surprisingly articulate for a footballer!

Able to tackle, pass and score would be nice as well... Articulate implies a certain level of a intelligence, something sorely lacking in some of our players. How else do you explain the lack of progress of someone with Pax's undoubted skill and ability?

How else do you explain the lack of progress of someone with Pax's undoubted skill and ability? I think it's more upbringing than IQ, and most footballers grow up in environments which are not conducive to developing articulation. But, I'm not sure intelligence is that critical - football intelligence, certainly, but is that the same thing as IQ? But, sadly, you're right about Pax - if he could read the game better he'd be a superb player. But then he wouldn’t be with us either!

I am reminded of another Embury that was supposed to be articulate and that was John the ex England cricketer who when asked about his knee injury replied " The f**king fuckers f**king fucked". And before you tell me ,YES I know it's spelt different.

And before you tell me ,YES I know it's spelt different. A marvellous example of using the same certain word as an adjective, noun, adverb and verb within a short sentence 😂

Intelligence is an interesting topic - studied it in my work. There are multiple intelligences: academic, of course, but sporting, artistic, communication, musical, to name but a few. A lot of people think someone is clever because they know a lot of facts/stuff, but it is the ability to apply it that enables an individual to stand out. It's a bit like leadership, one size does not fit all (though the likes of Hitler made it work for a while) and like golf, leadership/intelligence requires a range of 'clubs' (woods, irons, wedge, putter) to do the whole job. A certain Australian was once touted as one of the most intelligent people on the planet. Artist, swimmer, musician, TV presenter, writer, but an academic failure at school. Recently did time for being over familiar with the ladies. Can you tell who it is yet? David Beckham never came across as the sharpest knife in the drawer, but did ok for himself. It's not what you know or are, but what you make of yourself that counts and, much as it pains me to say it, even that knob Tamplin comes into that category as well. Here ends the sermon. Maidstone players - pull the bloody finger out!

Maidstone players - pull the bloody finger out! Golf as a metaphor for intelligence - on a football website... Brilliant! Personally, I like the 'accademic' definition - as someone who passed the 11+, when it was effectively an IQ test, but pretty comprehensively fucked up just about everything else...

I am trying not to be pedantic but can we at least get the spelling correct of our new signing in the title of the thread. Don’t look great!

Maidstone players - pull the bloody finger out! Spatial intelligence / awareness is what Beckham has. But I remember reading about someone with a very high IQ who couldn't climb over a stile. On the John Embury quote - I used to sell an Oxford University Press grammar book which contained the memorable sentence "Consider the difference between 'what are you f**king doing in my bed?' and 'what are you doing f**king in my bed?', always popular with language teachers.

I've seen him play for many years. He gets lots of play time because of his father has always run his team's. In my opinion not a patch on Jack Richards.
