When you say Barnes was dreadful, any chance you can let us know why?0

Just to clarify, Barnes and Page were playing by Lapslie was played fullback?dickplumb said:One of the most bizarre games I have ever seen. We went totally to pieces in the second half after going in 3-0 up. It was like a game of basketball. Barnes was absolutely dreadful. Page played well. Lapslie had a poor game, he is not a full back. Dijksteel after a good first half was poor in the second. Anderson and Mascoll played well. Still trying to get over it.

Barnes was subbed and Lapslie went to right back. He was poor there and Edwards was rubbish at left back when he replaced Page.
A thoroughly depressing experience that second half.3 -

My sources tell me Barnes scored our goal. Assume Reeco set him up.1

That's a bit of a drop. Hoped he would have found a club at a higher level.East_Stand_Loopy said:0 -

c'mon it's obvious why he has signed for them. They are playing Truro City on Saturday so young Archie is on a scouting mission.Henry Irving said:

Don't be silly, we have Driesen for that. He's going to be Truro on the new Football Manager and let us know their strengths and weaknesses.LargeAddick said:

His career has certainly taken a sharp downhill turn, I can't see him being retained by us for much longerHenry Irving said:

I think the crawley game will be the real test for him - fingers crossed.0

Archie has not dropped away particularly, just in the eyes of those who expected him to be storming it in the first team by now.0

I had assumed we would be playing Crystal Palace U23 at Greenwich Borough this afternoon.0

@seth plum
I was looking at the dev league table and we are really struggling this year. Why do you think that is? I haven't been to a match in years, but was surprised to see us second from bottom, especially as we usually do so well.
Thanks in advance.

Victims of their success and the natural cyclical nature of youth teams.
Also
On loan
Hanlan
Umerah
Charles-Cook
Edwards
In first team
Aribo
Konsa
Philips
KAG
Injured
Kennedy
So the team this year has often been made up of much younger players like Anderson and Malony, promoted from U18s.1
