Chico Ramos is interim manager at Staines Town. Good luck to him, with all the behind the scenes issues, Staines have been struggling for too long given their potential.

Staines lost 12-0 last night. Prior to that the general consensus was Chico was doing about as well as can be expected at Staines.
 
Thinking about Ottaway's move to Dorking - reasonably hot on the heels of them taking Jordan Cheadle from Carshalton as well - the club's transfer strategy very rarely seems to target players from the local Isthmian teams, which you'd have thought should be a good place to look for players working their way up through the system - Mo Faal is the obvious stand out at the moment but may be expecting a move more than one league up, but there's also the likes of Tanner at Lewes who is seemingly attracting all kinds of attention, Pearce at Worthing who seems to score goals forever, Gus Sow at Kingstonian is raved about by them.

Very recently there's been Bryant Akono Bilongo moving from Kingstonian to Middlesbrough, and looking back a bit further, the likes of Ricky Korboa making the jump to Northampton from Carshalton. It's not necessarily a flood of players, but even if it's one or two a season that doesn't feel like a big risk to take a chance on.

Our strategy seems to be picking up players from the National Leagues, maybe even coming out of League 2, and younger players coming out of local League academies - which makes a lot of sense for all kinds of reasons (availability, being used to a more professional set up, experience, willingness to travel etc.) - but even if those are the main routes to look to, surely it's necessary to take advantage of all opportunities to bringing the best players possible to the club.

Was just wondering if anyone closer to the club has any insight on that - whether it's felt it's just not worth the time to try and bring players up and get them to adapt, or it potentially blocks the Aspire players, or there are gentlemen's agreements in place that we won't go fishing for talent from local teams we've got connections with?

Just take a look at Gus Sow!
He's got such a tiny waist!
But him coming back to us,
is against all odds,
And that's what you've got to face!

That would be an interesting one. We seem to get a local goalie from Charlton if we need one - Nathan currently, Ashley Maynard-Brewer. Be interesting to learn also if we at some point aim to use the academy or player trading as an income stream. I'd like us to tie promising players to longer deals as presumably when folk leave it's all on Bosmans or end of contracts.

Gavin has used the academy as an income stream for years.
 
I don't understand why a team the size of Dulwich Hamlet are not better at communicating comings and goings, they are worse than many smaller clubs. While Dulwich have always done a lot right with social media, even cutting edge a few years back with it (although other clubs have caught up and surpassed them nowadays) the clubs website is kinda amateur... it is better than is was a couple years back, but still, probably one of the worst in the league.
