Alan Avery & Ian Draper !
At the time
of writing this it is now 9 games into our tenure at Netherfield
Albion FC with a record of won 2 drew 3 and lost 4 and having played
the likes of Bulwell Trident and Beacon , we said we would come in
and look to steady the ship as it was sinking fast without a clear
view of how to survive , we have advertised for a new manager for
next term and ideally are looking from within the club for that
appointment ( 25 signed on ) to build on the foundations that are
starting to be put into place within the first team , the dressing
room is getting better and better each week and performances are
increasing as time goes on and long may it continue as results
around us are going against us and the last thing we want on our
plates is to stive off relegation , however we have as much faith in
your ability to guide this vessel to safety as we have some very
testing games to come with Top team Bulwell, Ashland and United to
face as well as two encounters with Vernon Villa we do however have
battles with Whitemoor , Premium and Boots who are all below us in
the table .

We Are Getting
There. (25-01-08)
It is now 4 weeks that we have been here at Netherfield ...
Within this time there have been some significant changes no more so
than player personnel, In Reality the players that have gone have
done so on their own accord and what has been nice is at the time of
writing this neither Ian or Myself have not had to make the
decisions for them , we have jointly over 30 years of Amateur
football under our belts so when we say people can easily be
replaced we don't make that statement lightly as there are still
players that have expressed an interest in joining us and what is
heartening is there have been NO players that we have approached in
joining the Club it is players that have approached us in signing ,
there have been 8 new faces join the Albion and we believe they are
worthy additions and play the way we believe will gain us more
points as we start to climb further up the table and avoiding the
dog fight that will be relegation come the end of the season ,
Training has been a new regime under the new changes and you have
all responded extremely well to it as well as discipline which is at
a high and long may it continue , there is certainly a new buzz
inside the club and we have seen this at the training sessions over
the last few week's ,
February is a big month and will only be determined how successful
we are in our points tally come March , we have Whitemoor, Trident,
Nottinghamshire and Beacon so no easy game's but maximum return from
your efforts is a must .
All that's left for us to say is Keeping working hard , Keep putting
the effort in but most importantly Keep Enjoying it , Because We are
. !!!
Thanks also to all the other Clubs and players that have wished us
luck in our roles .
Alan and Ian

A Week at the Helm
It has now given both Myself and Ian time to reflect on the week
passed by at Netherfield Albion , we excepted the Role as Joint
Managers with Support from Shaun only with the autonomy to make the
changes and regime that we instill for the success of this well
earned and respected Club , there has as you all are acutely aware
been some radical changes that have happened already but we both
firmly believe that this will only act as a catalyst to drive you on
as individuals and will also act as the future foundations of this
Club , I must say that I have been buoyed on by the way the Squad
have all responded over the last 7 days and can only extend my
regret to the periphery of Squad that have yet to prove their worth
within this establishment , I did say last week that regardless of
the score after 90 minutes it is how you responded to the changes
both on and off the field that mattered most of all and you did this
with both respect and integrity , Changes are always a contributing
factor in the success of any organization be it work or Sport and I
can assure we are not afraid to make them as we see fit and to
the benefit of OUR Club , I am not going to dwell on last week's
performance as for Both Ian and Myself we failed at the first
attempt to gain 3 vital and needy points !! , With that in mind we
start this Saturday against mid table opposition in Middleton Villa
and we will field a squad that will be more than capable of securing
3 points this time around , The Squad will now always be named on a
Friday evening and you know what you have to do to be part of both
the squad and this transformation , Training will allow both Periphery
players and New Signing's to gel and prove their worth but as
I have already stated we will not sign anyone on unless we believe
it will strengthen us in areas that we are lacking or can add
dimension to the Squad , one final thing from Me YOU are all now
NETHERFIELD ALBION players so earn the right to be !!!
Alan Avery !!!
