Wasn't able to attend this weekend, but had a couple of pals who made the trip - sounded like rough going.
These are the kinds of games where I wish we had a plan B (I'm a broken record) but hearing Woodman confess we're not great with the ball, even vs limited opposition, is a bit of a worry.
RE: Deji, it's a real shame. The lad has made himself a Bromley hero, and you're right, it only felt like a matter of time before he made his way back. Woodman and his team have shown themselves to be shrewd operators in the market though, so I hope they can work some more magic in January - especially if a few more make the journey back to their parent clubs.
Re Kido / Todd and the like - the only spot that feels "open" to players like them is the Dennis position next to Cheek. Todd has put a shift in at WB when called upon, but for my money he isn't physical enough to compete defensively in those positions, especially when compared to Josh or Bes. If we persist with getting players like them in I think we need to find a position further up the pitch that suits them.
Good stuff as always Mach.

Another interesting read more so than match,which reminded me of blustery rainy Ryman League games . Jones my MoM as he scored !
Hoping for much better game on Saturday but onwards to next round.
