1. What were your feelings on last season?

Bit of a dissapointment really. We were top of the league at xmas and still missed out on promotion with 3 teams going up. Positives though, I thought we played some of the best football seen so far at the Plough. This was probably down to Steve Loasby making us play from the back.

2. Are you looking forward to the new season? How do you think the Plough will do?

Yes. The new signings have shown potential, and if we get a settled squad who are committed to the goal then I feel that we should be in the running for promotion and a cup run would be nice to take us back to the glory days.

3. Which Plough players do you think we should watch out for this season?

I have been particularly impressed with James Baldry on the left hand side of midfield and defence. Also Jaco has shown a lot of potential between the sticks and it would be nice to think we will have one keeper all season.

4. If you were to name the all time best Plough player- who would you pick and why?

I have got to agree with Dan and say Mark Chambers. He is always reliable in the centre of defence and has proven he is a top class defender but Im a bit worried that his new girlfriend will start affecting his performances this season.

5. Are there any particular games that you are looking forward to this season?

Well due to the lack of local derbies then maybe against Spartak or Houghton Athletic but we might get a local side in the cup which would be nice- maybe Eaton Bray Lions!

6. What position do you feel you will play this season?

Well Ive always naturally played on the right wing but pre-season the gaffers have put me all over- sweeper, free role behind the front two(which I definitely enjoyed). But with the management reverting back to 4-4-2 then maybe I will find myself back on the right wing but with Chambers usually injured then you never know I might be back at sweeper!

7. How do you feel the new management duo will do this season?

From w hat Ive seen so far very well. They are willing to try new formations and try players in different positions but no doubt they will be judged by results and the media will be out to get them right from the start of the season.

8. What are your best and worst memories whilst playing for the Plough?

Best memory is definetley winning the division 4 cup and promotion in the first season and scoring in the cup final. Worst memory would be missing a sitter and a penalty against Pitstone in the first season because a win would have won us a league and cup double in our inaugral season.

9. Do you think that the club can rediscover the old team spirit that looked as though it was missing last season?

Well with two men at the helm who run blue and yellow blood then maybe this could be the year that the Plough rediscover that team spirit that has always been the secret of our success.

10. Have you set yourself any aims for the new season?

I want to become more frequent on the scoresheet but mainly be a part of some good football that will take us up to division 2.
