Great game and Welling played well. Once we got that penalty we were all over Arsenal. Really enjoyed it and I'm definitely looking forward to the coming season! Glad to see a high turnout as well.
Dadson gone? Can understand why with pires on the books now. Dadson will do a team at our level a good turn or two.
Mitten was on holiday and John Whitehouse the ex Dover keeper did well today.
Daryl Robson the number 18 looked a right handful and scored a belter too, Not sure about him giving the ball away and nearly got booked throwing the ball away and moaning at Crouchy, and 19 played well too down the left second half.
We were really good, looks like Jamie has got it right so far, Healy wont score for us but he puts himself about and brings others in to the game well. Does the ugly things for the other players. He did ok today.
We ran our socks off and could have had 8 against a side on paper who should have played us off the park. Brilliant result.
Not sure we need to arrange another friendly in place of Ashford game, keep the legs fresh.
Pires keeps going forward and they cant handle him , he has to look up though and take the ball with him. Definitely a dangerous player and will rip teams to pieces on a good day.

1800 brings the tally to around 5000 for the 3 big friendlies. Years ago that would have been 8.000 but to get 5000 in is phenomenal in a bad recession, Well done to all. This compares favourably with other teams, Crawley only got 1000 for the Arsenal X1 match.

well he gave the ball away and got a bit silly with a decision. The goal he scored was a cracker so he did ok i suppose. Good and bad. Clarkey looking sharper too. This new bloke Sambrook is better than his namesake last season. Thought Cumbers was lively today put himself about and had good positioning. Loui got mom but could have given it to Cumbers or Loui. Pugh worked his balls off as usual. Thought 21 and the 19 did well second half. If they get Pires going hes gonna be a right handful.

Think if we lack anythig at the mo it will be in midfield, daisy, Clarkey and crackers will be good but injuries allow us little apart from moving players from different positions. Personally unless it was pennies I think letting Marsden go was not a good move.
Apart from that we have assembled a good team and a challenge I think going forward so well done to Daisy and his team
it was a fantastic day and on the poiunt of the crowds we have done fantastic this year and feels good to have large crowds at the games - just hope we have gained a few fans who will be happy to watch us in the coming season
