Good news. We only really saw what he was capable of in that one game. Much of his time with us last season, he was trying to fit into a badly demoralised team.
Agree. Hopefully he can fully show his qualities in a much more settled and motivated side.

On the clubs Instagram account, bit slow on the Twitter front.

Is he going to be travelling from Taunton again?

Gardner will be very valuable due his versatility, he played almost every role for us last season from CB to 9.

With our budget i’m sure that is priceless

K’s have announced Stan Flaherty, Ben Parkinson and Eddie Simon are all leaving for Step two clubs. More potential incomings, thoughts?

Interesting. I certainly thought Flaherty was playing below his capability at Ks, was pretty good at Walton & Hersham. Eddie Simon moving up is going to be interesting as I know we asked about him when he was rattling in the goals at W&H but at that time he expressed no interest of going higher ( he's a dentist by profession). The goals dried up a bit at Step 3 with W&H. He's 28 so quite late to be going up now. Parkinson I don't know but is still only 18 so a big step up for him. A defender/midfielder apparently.

I saw Eddie Simon a few times at Walton and I just wonder if that was his natural level. He'd need to have exactly the right kind of service alongside him.

New signing, Rohan Ince from Woking. Sounds a very good one, experienced from the league above.

Was doing brilliant for Woking up until he got that injury, will be a top player for us if he recaptures that form.

What was the injury? Missed an entire season it seems so guessing something major. Only a rigorous pre season will tell if he has recovered.
