Lack of players
10/03 Firstly I would like to ask why Andy Puckett and Danny Thompson were not available on Saturday?  Also, whatever happened to Steve Leigh, Terry Cox and Moussa Mamabue and has Charlton Clarke left the Club.  If so, why?  Sam Carter I presume has also left the Club.  We do not seem to be kept fully informed of all departures.  I would also like to ask that when like last Saturday's game at Uxbridge we were short of players?  Why can we not bring back our players on loan to other clubs?  Their experience would surely be of more use than reserve and youth team players.

10/03 Andy Puckett was suspended on Saturday and Thommo is currently out of the country.  Steve Leigh is injured and Charlton Clarke had work commitments and was unavailable.  Both Terry Cox and Moussa Mamabue have indeed left the Club after their services were deemed no longer required. 
Regarding loan players, both Ian Rew and Wayne Boud have been invited to return from Fareham Town.  Wayne has asked to stay at Cams as he is hoping to lift the Wessex League Cup with Town and Rewie is getting regular football and has also asked to stay.

10/03 Sam Carter has moved to Winchester City.
Looking in
10/03 Quite true.  I forgot to add Sam into my earlier reply.
Site Manager
10/03 We need a complete clear out of players at the end of the season.  I actually think that Pikey is a good manager but I have been lost of words for the player ins and outs.  We are a shadow of the team that lost to Didcot in August.  I suggest Pikey builds a team around Browner, Michael White, Thommo and Justin Bennett.  This is not a bash Pikey and the team post - we want a team to can recognise and relate to.

10/03 Would just like to put the record straight regarding the above comments.  I have not been playing regularly at Fareham but I am happy to stay and fight for a place as I was not invited to return to Gosport.
Rewie
10/03 So Rew And Boud aren't on loan are they - dual registration perhaps.
Interested
10/03 It depends on your definition of loan.  Yes they are dual registered on Southern League forms with Boro' and Wessex League forms with Fareham.  As the Wessex League does not permit "loans", Town would claim they are dual registered but we would claim they are on loan.  The same applied last season when we "dual registered" Mark Peters from Basingstoke.  They regarded it as a loan.

11/03 Well what an extraordinary season this is turning out to be!  It seems to be a case of two players in and two out every week.  I notice there were a couple of new characters playing in the last match that I've not heard of before.  I assume that Pikey is using this season to trawl through the available talent and get a decent squad next year but it lends ammunition to his detractors and the results in the second half of the season do not seem to support this ethos.

11/03 Site Manager you are quiet right about Wayne to a point.  He didn't feel it was right to walk away from a chance of winning silverware this season with Fareham and asked to stay to see it through.  But he did discuss with the management about being available for midweek games and it was agreed he could be called on for these.  For whatever reason, he has not been contacted.  Perhaps yet another player in the mix this season would not be productive for the club or the individual.  I personally think Wayne has proved himself this season with 11 goals so far added to consistently good performances in his first full season in Wessex Premier football.  The "loan" has done him the world of good.  The close season would now appear to be the sensible time for the Club to decide what it wants to do with its "loan players"

12/03 I read that the Site Manager states "both Ian Rew and Wayne Boud have been invited to return from Fareham Town" yet both seem to contradict this.  Could you please clarify what is going on as I like many others would like to see a 'known and proven face' back at the park to lift both the team and the supporters.  Come on the Boro'.
Curious
12/03 I can only go by what I am told but if you read Plod's comment you will see that Wayne certainly did speak to the management team about a return.

13/03 Angry B - the youngsters you refer to as "coming through" are players who have been playing at Locks Heath all season for our reserves and youth team. 
Having agreed for them to play in the British Gas Midweek Youth Cup to assist Boro' and give the lads experience, it appears that they are desperately needed by your first team.  It's good to see they are getting first team experience, which they weren't getting at Locks Heath due to the strength and depth we have at the club.  They have done us proud, winning their Youth League and the reserves are currently sitting eight points clear at the top of their division.  We wish the boys well.

14/03 Loved the burger - it's the football that's left a bad taste in the mouth.  Have to say the Taunton game was a vast improvement though.

14/03 It was a refreshing change to watch the game on Tuesday and actually see the team play with shape and direction.  My concern being that the squad has changed so much over the course of the season with the manager making so many signings of players clearly not up to the task.  With all the talk of not enough quality locally, it amuses me that the only enjoyable game has been with playing fresh local talent.  Mr Pike if your networking and scouting was closer to home I am sure you would have a team capable of holding its own while also getting the numbers through the gate that a successful side would merit.

14/03 Is Plod "Splodge"?
Interested
14/03 No, Plod certainly isn't Splodge.
Site Manager
17/03 I am not Splodge in disguise and would never claim to have Splodges knowledge of non-league football.  I have never hidden the fact Im Wayne's dad and most people know that and Plod refers to my job and some say the pace at which I ran the line for Boro' reserves for a couple of seasons!
Plod
17/03 I see that we had another new player from the reserves this time I believe, name of Sones.  I also understand that makes 42 players through the books this season which must be some sort of record.
Skumbanana
19/03 I think Pikey fancies himself as Baldrick and has a cunning plan to get us in the record books for most players through the books in a season - whether they can play or not.
Suspicious
20/03 More like Flash Heart.  Takes us to heaven and back twice a week!
Black Adder
20/03 Skumbanana, you mention some kind of record.  That is not a sly way of putting song titles back on the site is it?  Don't let me be misunderstood, I'm a ball of confusion over your message.
Scummer
20/03 I don't see how people moan about the lack of players.  For a start there's loads of players in the reserve team which could easily come in and help which is what the reserve team is for but everyone seems to ignore the reserve team and get players from youth team like Steve Sones and Steve Cammack when there are players just as good or even better in reserves.
Loyal fan
22/03 Please don't let me be misunderstood but I'm just a jealous guy.  I see you lot standing in the house of the rising sun and wish I could be close to you.  But this is going nowhere and I can't get no satisfaction.  Should I stay or should I go?  It's the midnight hour and I'm leaving on a jet plane.  Farewell!
