The keeper you mention is a strange one, been called up once by Sierra Leone but hasn’t featured much for our U21s & actually thought he had been released. Rumour a while ago that you were after Max O’Leary but he has moved up our pecking order to no.2 so don’t expect that to happen now. I only suggested it was Alhaji Sesay....I’ve no idea....just thought it might be possible someone got Dover and Dartford mixed up. Sesay is no longer at City.

Must admit I struggled to understand his accent at first, but asked what situation was with Fammy. Said he’s been offered new contract, he wants to stay and hopefully it’s just a case of sorting finer details. That's very open and honest for a manager to say to someone publicly 57 minutes ago, GrahamC said: That’s the rumour, both your boss and ours are Mancs so guess they must know each other.

ExiledAjax Posted August 26, 2020 Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 Surely it's all U23s or U18s even. Almost every senior player will have been in Wales playing Villa. Our team will have been Hinds, Britton, Towler, Pring, the Pearsons etc. Maybe Gilmartin gave himself some minutes So Gregor's colleague Tristan Cork went, watched, and live-tweeted game. He confirmed we published no team sheet, wore no names on our backs, and from one of his videos it looks as though we wore a training kit? In the "this sums up the game" video I recognise Towler - he's the tall guy with long blonde hair on the left of the picture. No idea of the others from that distance.

SouthStand Sandwich Posted August 26, 2020 Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 Enjoyed it tonight... Apart from pring, JoJo, Hinds and hakeeb it was a u20's line up against a 1st team Weston side... Weston took a 2-0 lead, with city clawing one back late on. Still trying to work out the enigma that is Freddie Hinds... Missed a few oppos... Hakeeb looked good... Ordinarily, I would have felt robbed at the lack of 1st teamers in the side but to actually see live football felt so good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not expecting a name but a description of a player and we might be able to work out who it is? Not sure if that England under 17 attacking midfielder is playing. Or Sam Pearson. Ginger lad. Couldn't recall a ginger lad playing but I like the look of Eamon whittle .. a central midfielder...tidy. there was also a lanky center half, reminded me of a young woodgate... Very composed.

Ruddy hell I didn’t realise Gilmartin was there, I would have stood closer to the dugout if I’d known Nice to see some live football, but as others said I didn’t recognise many and nothing on social media from either Westonor City regarding the team, we reverted to scrolling the city site and looking at headshots but not all players even have one of them. Weston were confused about who was who too and the numbers were only on the front of the training tops and on the shorts, unfortunately the numbers didn’t often match either, so their keeper was shouting stuff like ‘watch the short one’ To be honest Weston were pretty good, and like us played some decent passing football. You wouldn’t know which side had potential Championship youngsters and which were non league. Talking of keepers I was pleased to see how JoJo has progressed. Still obviously a young keeper but no longer a kid as such. He certainly was very vocal and a good organiser. Not afraid to shout and guide his players throughout. And yes Towler stood out for me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badly needs to play league football somewhere, as I do think time is running out for him, couldn’t hold down a regular place at Forest Green last season..
