Charlie Austin at Basingstoke !! Come on FOC keep up not any more.

Charlie Austin left Basingstoke at the weekend. Only played 4 games for them in the end, scoring 1 goal.

...somewhat vindicated here wasn't even aware he'd signed for 'stoke in the first place ...until I tried to see where he'd been (and gone) after Totton.

It was - good to see Garcia get a goal.

The Chelsea team had Axel Disasi starting a centre-back (coming back from injury maybe?) and €20m signing Deivid Washington came off the bench! Fairly certain both Shumaira Mheuka and Sam Rak-Sakyi made multiple Conference League appearances for them last season too.
