Have reached the national league play off final with Boreham Wood, where they will play Tranmere Rovers.
Woodards was one of my favourite players during a difficult time for us.

Also add a young lad called Bruno Andrade, taught him and his sister, fantastic kids. Bruno went to Wycombe who released him, very quick winger.

Played mostly up front this season and has done very well. Interesting how Brown said that Balanta was one of the trickiest players that he faced (in training). If they don't make it then Andrade might be worth looking at, couldnt do any worse than Nichols |

It must be attitude and commitment with some of these players. Balanta was a very talented player. Interesting piece on Bradley Weight-Phillips on espn the other day. He’s one of the MLS all time goal scorers. Said he fell out with the game and thought that the mls is where players go to retire. But playing with Henry and David Villa made him realise his diet of pizza PlayStation and no sleep was the reason the wheels came off his career over here. And has since made a lifestyle and attitude change. He realised his good time antics has had a negative effect. |

Similarly, we've all heard the stories about players that 'could've made it', but quite often it's true. I played with a couple players at 15 that could have forged a living out of the game, but the didn't have the required dedication or lifestyle. |

Balanta went off injured. Looked like a pulled hamstring, so unfortunately for him, looks like he will probably miss out on the final.
