I see Cogenhoe had two sent off yesterday and Huntingdon one.
Pity they don't get immediate suspension.
Isn't ex Diamond Darren Watts the new Cooks keeper.?

Watts was at Sileby last season and looked like he's spent training sessions eating.

I'd say Henderson is our best centre half (sorry Parky if you read this) and hopefully he'll stay next season.

Finlay dealt with the crosses and hopeful punts well, and had one shot to save, I'm put all the blame on him for their goal, the striker got the wrong side of Merrill and Joe couldn't get back to put pressure on him.

Joe Henderson is a tremendous prospect. You can see he's had a good schooling with Coventry and I'll stick my neck out and say he's the type of young player we ought to consider giving a permanent contract to.

Henderson hasn't really been tested at centre half against the big guns. I think his distribution is poor but I hope I'm proved wrong and he does indeed turn out to be a first class defender. Apart from Deaks where does it leave Jamal. Does he also have to wait his turn behind the Parkinson and Henderson pairing. I also think that Brad deputised we'll in that position and is unfortunate to be warming the bench.

There's a very good (and complimentary) review in the Spalding Guardian - http://www.spaldingtoday.co.uk/sport/fo ... -1-5899171

Note that the report quotes the attendance figure as 216 (which I originally used too) - but the official figure on the UCL site has been stated as 235.

Yeah, I thought I heard someone say 235 at the game.

The Stewarts & Lloyds v Spalding Utd game on Saturday attracted a record low UCL Premier attendance for this season of just 24. It makes you wonder if they have any away support at all.

I smiled when Spalding tweeted this afternoon directions to AFC Kempston ground 'for those wishing to travel'. :D

None of these clubs have any away support to speak of except if it's very local or a big cup match. Several times I've seen Wisbech fans boast about their "fantastic" away support, but the attendance for their game at S & L was 28 :roll:
