We will have departures when other teams need players we deem to be not up to this level.
I just don't know how many takers there are going to be ?

Also need to mention that no team would sign an injured player.

Not quite true. We did, arguably 1, 2, 3 !

And the apparent fact that no other teams are trying to sign our surfeit of players is also telling

We may possibly be in a place where the only viable option for some of our excess players is the National South but they wouldn't improve the money bags clubs at the top, and their wages might be too much for clubs just below. To drop a level may also mean going from full time to part time halfway through a season...

Good news on the social media channels is it looks like Wanjau-Smith is very close to a return and we are getting an injury update for the squad on Monday at some point.

We've leaked more goals than any other side. The last six and the seven at Boreham Wood and Barnet were v soft and demonstrate to me that it's as clear as day we need a new keeper. Or play the keeper that was brilliant last season…………. He wasn't exclusively brilliant though was he. He was pretty average for a few games before Sanford came in, and only came back in for Ebbsfleet because Sanford was injured.

His fan boys refuse to accept that he was anything other than brilliant all season. Based on what? The fact that he has good bantz with The Genco.

Well, I think it is the point. For the greater part of our title winning season, he played well and was a fixture in the team. Players and supporters viewed him as Stones number 1 keeper. For whatever reason he fell out of favour with Hak after the season finished.

For whatever reason he fell out of favour with Hak after the season finished. Easy to play well when you don't have much to do in most games Supporters only saw him as Maidstone's number one as he interacted with them We have gone from dominating possession and our keepers/defence having little to do to our defence being run ragged and our keepers being exposed. It's Jack Paxman all over again, good player in NLS but not good enough at NL level, there are a few others in the current Maidstone team that this can be directed at as well. Ar but Hadler hasn't had a chance, so the Barnet and Boreham Wood games were not a chance for him, Barnet in particular a game where we played away from home and scored three goals, for a low scoring team, you would have hoped for a victory but we still conceded 4 goals, we were probably highlighting as a game where we would hope to come away with points but got nothing. As a person i like Tom and the same with Yusuf, both really nice people and always friendly and willing to have a chat but sometimes you have to move on for the betterment of the team

There are plenty of non fanboys as you so eloquently put that think he is a much better keeper and nothing to do with the bantz. Pathetic generic opinion to hold just because they disagree with the font of all knowledge

Pretty close to 100% prefer Hadler for the entire stadium. Mersin has a handful of disciples on this forum and thats about it.

It's not an argument about who's the better keeper, it's about the ridiculous claim that he was exclusively brilliant last season which is patently not true. He was a more than adequate keeper for the level but brilliant? I'm afraid not. And if you refuse to admit or recognize he was capable of mistakes, then yes you are a fanboy.
