Who was responsible for James Alabi?

Yes, I know there’s a ‘committee’ but someone initially came up with the name.

Do you believe in publicly singling out one young, inexperienced player for criticism/abuse?

On a positive note, who was responsible for Ouss Cisse ?

Steve, who is the most promising of the young local talent you have been working with this season and how many packets of crisps will we get for them when they are given away next season?

For Steve Foster...

Regarding our policy of signing players fit for Division One - where is he principally looking for players? (Positions and from which divisions?)

Thanks

Signing players fit would be a start, never mind for what level.

I don't like the inference that there weren't any other sensible questions.

Is the reason Boycey isn't on tonight because he's got blood poisoning from his Tat? #Boyceygone

Why is this even a question. Even the dogs on the street know it was his daddy.

Steve, do we use any analytics data in conjunction with watching players to validate that they would improve the team?

Think you'll find that was Justins idea, he mentioned to Martin that Dagenhem needed some money so why not sign him

For Steve Foster:
1: Is it true that Tranmere still have the cheque we paid for Alabi, framed on their wall
2: Does he find the road works at Sadlers farm annoying when trying to get onto Canvey?

Steve, we’ve been told that we have an evolving list of players on our wish list. Why did it take so long in jan (considering I assume you knew who we needed in November/December) to get players in and how did that end with Johnson and an injured spurs player?
