    Jodi Jones with a message for the kids

    To be honest I thought it was fairly evident that the quote that was pasted in the tweet was an endorsement of someone else's comments He said similar things in an interview with the Daily Mirror almost two years ago when he was still at Dagenham & Redbridge Dagenham whizz-kid Jodi looks to...

    Jodi Jones with a message for the kids

    He was at Arsenal then West Ham at ages 11 to 13 but wasn't enjoying it There are often cliques and the boys see constant culls of their friends as there is a revolving door in the younger age groups at big clubs He came back a year or so later at Dagenham & Redbridge where a few of his friends...

    New Trialist - Owain Jones

    From Nicky Eadon's comments today I suspect he won't be offered a contract Almost all clubs operate on the basis that any trialist needs to be head and shoulders above guys who are already at the club in the same position. Some players refuse to go on trial for that reason

    Team togetherness

    I believe the bonus system has changed too The one last year that Fisher boasted about saving the club money also deterred senior players from signing

    Anthony Andreu

    He's scored loads of free kicks in his youth career. His manager at Senrab used to say he could put it through a letterbox It's a confidence thing Once the first one flies in.........

    Team togetherness

    Jones knows he's going to be backed up this season in contrast to last when he had mostly other kids around him and the few senior players who were in the side were not the warrior type Other managers are telling their players to target him but he keeps coming back for more as he knows Doyler...

    No More Signings Expected

    I'd like to see Dion KE tried in a CM role in the Checkatrade competition I think he's got all the attributes to play there long term and he has great role models at the club to learn from in Doyle and Kelly

    Anthony Andreu

    I believe we've changed our bonus system. I think last year was a sharp reality check for the club owners. Robins has almost certainly been behind this

    Richard Overson Sponsors Academy

    Maybe a sign that confidential discussions are taking place. Neither Fisher or the consortium have made any public statements for some weeks after previously talking to media outlets almost daily

    Anthony Andreu

    We're getting quite a French contingent now. Biamou, The Duke and now this guy Agree with Nick that it's great that he's experienced and not a kid We've got a great batch of promising kids ourselves so no need to give experience to other team's youngsters at the expense of our own boys

    Kyle Reid

    He didn't want to play for us anymore. Any club has to get a player with that attitude out of the door

    Blackburn Highlights

    The story of the game was our two forwards failing to press their defenders This meant Blackburn continually passed it amongst themselves while advancing up the field leaving our four very young midfielders to run their bollocks off trying to get the ball back Let's be honest though Robins...

    Ben Stevenson - Brentford

    It's a long, long season in League 2. He'll be back in the side soon enough Injuries, suspensions and the relentless number of games will give Ben his chance

    George Thomas

    I don't think he's been around the club for a while Don't know what's happening with him but as his contract had expired and he didn't take up the new offer he would be like any of us who resigned from our jobs. No wages so no need to go in to work

    Is Vincenti the new Baker?

    Very tall guys are never easy on the eye. I thought Vincente had a good game. Never hiding, winning every header and linking up play to keep possession His clever switching of wings with Jones made a big difference to the youngsters game as it made it harder for County to double up on him That's...

    Last season he was the youngest player in what was virtually an U23 team playing in a men's league Today he was the only young player in a team of proper men who noticeably guided and helped him throughout the game
