So the good news is in and Alan Lewer is going to continue as full time Weymouth Manager. It's great news for my brilliant Lewer song and X-Factor winner and Terras fan Alexandra Burke will probably be crying (make a change wouldn't it) with joy at the news.

There is a downside in the fact that Marcus Browning will be assisting and playing again. Despite all of the things said in the press by Lewer about how much of an asset Brownings experience will be, I remain to be convinced.

A player who can see his club suffering whilst not playing because of something to do with his contract is not a club man for me. He was also pretty poor when turning out last season, and has a lot to do before I give him any praise.

Let's hope his attitude is right and his performances increase because now that Josh Webb has gone we are even thinner on the ground for bodies.

Webbs departure was no surprise and had probably been coming since the lad from Cambridge came in on loan. If you are a midfielder at a club with hardly any midfielders and a new signing comes in then you must know your time is up.

He joins the growing contingent of Terras at ambitious Farnborough, led by Richard Barnard.

After a bit of boom and bust management (on a similar scale to ours) has left Farnborough below us in the pyramid but they have shown their ambition by coming back to the Wessex Stadium and trying to take Scott Doe off us.

Doe is one of the players who has been on the transfer list since September and you would assume one of the few players that could command a fee. It says a lot about his ambition as a player that he would rather stay at Weymouth and battle for our club until the right opening comes up, than chase what money there is left in the game at 'Borough.

The smart money is on Stuart Beavon, our star player, leaving for Torquay or Rushden & Diamonds in the next few days. I think it is obvious that Beaver is going to move on in this transfer window. Bournemouth have been long suitors of his services, and you suspect that he would fancy a crack at the football league. But their management upheaveal would appear to rule them out.

I would bet on it being Torquay that make the deal, just because they are in the best position to give him league football.

As for where the goals are going to come from, a Northants local paper has reported that former Terras legend Lee Phillips will be leaving Rushden to return to the Wessex. No official confirmation on that one, but you know what its like with clubs. They are never to quick off the mark with their statements.
