...and then there was four, or even five....

Many thanks to our keen-eyed readers for helpfully pointing out that in addition to regular appearances of former loanees Wilson, Wyke and Carayol (sounds like a solicitor firm you can trust), you can regularly catch Jevani Brown and Tom Flannagan strutting their singular stuff in the Football League.

Jevani was a player who certainly looked the part for us, until he got injured and then couldn't force his way back into the starting XI.  A week or two on the bench was enough for him to up sticks and head off to pastures new.

Tom Flannagan was a gangling youth, loaned from MK Franchise, who, if memory serves, made his debut for us away to the Scum, on a day we had something of an ad-hoc defence.  Tom started alongside the incredibly hefty Ian Roper, with former midfielders Patrick Noubissie and Marcus Kelly as full-backs, all playing in front of the eager, but erratic Nick Bussey.  Our main striking force was an unfit, returning Iyseden Christie.

Given that we usually lost heavily to the Scum, even when we were at our strongest, this team didn't look like improving our record, but, as history shows, we won our last competitive game against that now long-gone club.  Tom played well and made a good foil for Roper during his month or two with us.
