They can't afford to be dropping points like this, particularly as top of the table Egham thumped Farnham 4-0 this afternoon. It's all coming crashing down BTW, how did you know the score in-running? Just searched on Twitter, found their official page and said they lost 2-1! Bastards, hopefully they can get back on track tomorrow!

Guernsey FC 2-2 Camberley (the visitors from Surrey scoring a last minute equaliser!) 19 pts behind, 7 games spare over leaders Egham, still in their hands -JUST!

Are Guernsey using the same set of players for all of these successive fixtures or have they got a bit of a larger squad to play with?

Matt Le Tissier is registered with them - since the season began - but has yet to feature, however he has stated he is ready to help alleviate the strain on the playing personnel and is likely to start next Sunday: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22056769------ From their website Guernsey FC have signed 7 players for the hectic end to the current Cherry Red Records CCL Premier Division league campaign. Tom Strawbridge, Craig Young, Simon Marley, Mark McGrath and Ryan Tippett all return to the GFC set up. 16 year old Kyle Smith and Veteran midfielder Matt Drillot are likely to get their first appearances for the club. 'It's brilliant news that these boys have signed on,' says GFC Head Coach Tony Vance. 'We're going to need all the help we can get with so many games to play in such a short space of time. And I think these players should be playing in this environment anyway.' ---------------------

Back on track Major. 2-1 winners on the mainland v Farnham Town FC with a late winner to boot. 19 pts behind leader's Egham with 7 games in hand. Now for three crucial back-back's starting Friday, and the much anticipated debut of Le Tiss on Sunday. http://www.guernseyfc.com/matches-league-table

Big weekend ahead for them, probably need to win 2/3 and draw the other at least to stay in contention with Egham...obviously 3 wins would keep them on track!

Lets buy their striker Ross Allen, great goalscoring record and they beat Poole Town 10-0 pre-season so are better then the team Charlie came from!

Egham must be in a state of disorientation. Streets ahead on points but with the dreaded knowledge that it is all illusory. It appears Ross Allen is on Twiter, so anyone using that medium on here can offer their encouragement, and maybe start the ball rolling if we'd like to see him at the County Ground next season: https://twitter.com/RossAllen10

Looking the their remaining games, they place a lot of mid-table to lower end teams (lets hope they don't do a 'Swindon' and it costs them a promotion). Their toughest game looks to be home to Epsom who are in 2nd place on the final day!

With only one promotion spot to fight for Epson may well be on their holiday's by then (quite literally, as they'll be enjoying Guernsey's generous island hospitality ) If it comes down to the wire, i'd expect a good 3,000 at Footes Lane on the final day. Lets not get ahead of ourselves though!

Yes I have acted like a twat in recent days, so here is my apology, please don't remind me of it.
Anyway, Le Tiss did not start for Guernsey FC today.
4-1 win v Horley Town on Friday. Yesterday's home game v Farnham Town was postponed because of a waterlogged pitch and today they're currently 3-2 up v Raynes Park.

I remember mentioning him a while back on a couple of occassions and he has carried on scoring since then, would be worth a gamble IMO a goalscorer is a goalscorer whichever team he is at. A lot of lower league teams seem to be havng a look at Ross Allen of Guernsey. Yes its a low standard of football, but no lower than the level Charlie was playing it before we picked him up. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/16639202.stmScored another 2 goals yesterday taking his half season tally to 47, obviously knows where the goal is and at 24 is still young enough to come to us and learn his trade yet wouldnt cost much at all. I see the rumours of us having a look at Ross Allen have risen again, scored a hattrick on Friday against Exeter City in a friendly and then scored another hattrick on Sunday against Poole Town as Guernsey beat them 10-0.
He finished the season on 63 goals in 41 games, still only 24 as well.
I think he would be worth a gamble as he wouldn't cost much, probably £50k max and with the right training under PdC surely would only get better.

That was an excellent call Peter Venkman. I understand that a fair few of the Guernsey players have well paid jobs on the island so it might be difficult to lure them away but surely a career in proffesional football would be too good to resist.
