Buxs
banter
It is time for a change at
Elmore. Following two
successive defeats against
teams we should have beaten, I
feel we (and I count myself in that
number) have let the club down badly.
While I will take a fair share of the blame for our recent
performances, a lot has been out of my control – player
unavailability, work commitments and injuries have all
been a factor, together with a general lack of
commitment to the club.
I have had to use 24 players in the 12 first team games so
far, and of those only two players have been ever present,
with only seven having played in at least 10 games. We
cannot go on like this and I am now looking for a
commitment to the club – players either want to play for
Elmore or they don’t.
I am working hard to bring in fresh faces. I have just had
a few days break in Ibiza and, for the most part, I was on
the mobile trying to persuade players to come here and
managers to let their fringe players come here on loan.
There are still a few problems to solve at the time of
writing these notes, but there is a very good chance there
could be a couple of new faces in the line-up today.
The biggest blow this season by far has been the loss to
injury of striker James Blake – we have missed him
enormously. However, Blakey has now been
given the all-clear following a second
scan on his medial ligament injury.
He is chomping at the bit and raring
to go and wants to be involved
today. I am not going to rush him,
but a place on the bench today
could do wonders for team
morale, and who knows, maybe he
can make a cameo appearance.

Steve (Spiderman) Harris’s wound
is also healing over and he could
also make it onto the bench,
depending on what his doctor
said yesterday.
