Quite suprised they've released Walker as he seems to have flourished under Ardley, or maybe its just a bit of end of season form a'la Matt McClure :lol:
and you may ask yourself, well....how did I get here?

Bobby Hopkinson has taken over as manager of South West Peninsula League side Camelford. He's got big shoes to fill, his predecessor was in post for 34 years!

Old Bob will be keen we sign the latter.
Yes, and see if we can get Wassim Aouachria back from Glentoran too.

Matt McClure is like Erling Haaland when set aside Lewis Walker.

Kwame Thomas has been released by Ebbsfleet....Personally I don't think he showed enough in his time with us to consider signing him.

I disagree and like to have him on the bench ahesd of Bray and Ghandour.

Kwame has shown he can be effective from the bench. As for Bray, we really don't know, do we? We simply haven't seen enough of him.

Has he? Last season maybe but he's not shown anything in his loan period that would want me to sign him.

Fair point. I was thinking as I wrote my reply above that he showed more last season. But then he was with us for a lot longer.

What wasn't pleasant was the sight of Thomas and Ghandour "spearheading" our attack at Woking. It was awful. No doubt, the manager thought it a sensible choice but I would struggle to agree.

Kwame looked better at the weekend I thought. As has been said, he offers something we otherwise don't have.

Thought Kwame looked good on Monday, but otherwise hasn't set the world alight.

Jim Kellermann was also released by Ebbsfleet, having been on loan at Kidderminster for much of the season. Tyler Cordner has returned to York City at the end of his loan there.

He does but there will be better out there.....It depends if the manager has the contacts to find them.

For good behaviour. They'll be tagged ,but many are complaining this is yet another example of two tier Kier's justice system.
