Interviews - Part 4

Today we are talking to club goalkeeper Ash Finney.

Ash a few years a go you left your left winger and centre back posistions for the vacant no.1 keeper shirt, why and was it a hard decision?
I left it because we didn't have a keeper at the time and i was determined i could do well because of the way Lee Grant was playing aand it inspired me. It was a hard decision because i had never been in goal and i knew i had a shed load of training to do.

Where do you think we will finish this season?
I think we will finish either 4th or 5th it depends on how well we combine and work as a team.

Who would you most like to beat this season?
Barton Juniors (the B.J's) or Epworth Town.

Who do you think will win player of the year?
This is a tough decision baring in mind the top quality players we have but i think this year that Jack Lacey-Hatton will pip afew players to it.

If not us then who do you think will win the league?
Brigg Town or Barton Juniors

Who do you think will be the suprise player of this season?
Artor

Jack Rhodes

I suppose we can give it our best shot but not this year.

MF: Matty Harvey, Lewis Clark, Ryan Ingham, Nick Wingate
ST: Jack Rhodes, Connor Durnian
Subs: Ell Brown, Jordan Merrill, Artor

What do you think about the rumours that Lewis Clark will play upfront this year?
I think this is a truely awsome rumor put clarky anywhere and he would be mint (but not my position).

How many clean sheets are you hoping to keep?
I think i will keep about 2 but my target is 5.

Last of all who will be our nearest rivals in the league?
Park " rawww" Tigers.

Interviews - Part 3

This week we talk to Jordan Merrill who is about to taste league 1 football for the first time.
He talks to the blog about his cult hero status and his predictions for 09/10:



Where will we finish in the league?
Middle maybe, Maybe top four, just hopefully not relegated.

Who will win player of the year?
Its either got to be Lewis Clark or Nick Wingate.

Do you think you will start on the opening day?
Hopefully, but we have got two new players better than me so one of them might take my place.

Do you think we can challenge for the title?
Most likely yes, We know what its like to be in this league because we have been in it before, and we have got the quality so yes we could have a good challenge for the title.

What squad number would you like this season?
Not fussed, 8 would be nice to wear but chuck a number at me and ill use it.

Who would you most like to beat this season?
Probably Epworth, they didnt welcome us to the new league so we are gonna punish them, maybe Park Tigers too.

Ever reckon you will be our number 1 keeper?
No way, Ash Finney will always be our No 1 keeper, he made a lot of saves and scored 3 goals, he was one of the reasons we got promoted, he was immense last season.

Who will be top scorer?
There are four people who will get thier name on the scoresheet mostly every match, and thats Connor D, Jack R, Nick W and Lewis C.

Lastly you have got a bit of repuation as a cult hero amongst the fans for being enthusiastic, would you say thats true?
I always try my best and do what im told, the good thing is i bring fun into it aswell for the fans, i want the fans to be happy, to appreciate me, and to watch a good match with us winning hopefully, cheers.
