I see Klaidi Lolos stellar season was nicely topped off with another playoff final victory. He's going from strength to strength. Shame we couldn't get the best out of him.....

I am delighted for him. It still haunts me how Johnson handled his development when he brought Lolos on in the 56th minute of the 1-1 draw at Wealdstone – and took him off again just 11 minutes later.

Shameful and humiliating

Corrected for you.

I, too, am delighted for him. It just goes to show what a decent manager can achieve.

To be fair to Johnson though, looks like Lolos has grown up and listens to instructions which he didn't do here. He was a talented but loose cannon, you can't just go out on the pitch and do your own thing.

It's a two way thing though. Don't think you can blame just the player for that.

And yet, Arkell Jude Boyd publicly thanked Downes during a videoed interview for allowing him the freedom to play in whichever role he chose,

I knew his Dad (Paul) very well when he played and he sat behind us when he watched Billy play at Plainmoor with his wife.

I would have him back. I believe he is 31 now.

Aaron Jarvis has announced his departure, these are usually followed shortly by a new club announcement. Watch this space! Strong rumours of Yeovil…anyone but them

The deal was done at Christmas! But could not be finalised until the end of the season, or it would of cost them a few.

For what use he was he might just as well had laid on their treatment table .
Fact is Jarvis career record is
Appearances 187 Goals scored 46
Relegated with Scunthorpe
Relegated with Torquay
Injured and nearly relegated again.
Yeovil if true …… be aware

He was half decent player but I was never a fan. In fact the way the squad performed last season if none stayed I would not lose any sleep.
