Re: Ridenton - he isnt in the squad because hes the absolute best we have leftover to pick from. You would find better, older, more experienced and wiser defenders playing Central League or Northern League or whatever im sure.
But he's in the squad because of his potential as a young player, and the hope is this football (AWs and Nix) will turn him into one of the best in the not too distant future.
Neil Emblen has said this over and over like a broken record since he stood in as 'coach' - hes looking toward the younger players while he has the chance, and getting them into the environment for some experience.
