Oppostition Preview
Team Overview
In goal, Tom Allsopp has started all but one of Quorn’s 11 league games this season. The 23 year old missed just the one league game through injury against Alvechurch last Tuesday, where Leon Phillips featured in his place. Allsopp, a former Solihull Moors academy player featured in all 40 of Quorn’s league games at step 4 last season.
In the defense, starting on the right side of the backline, Silvio Bello has started all 11 league games. The 22 year old missed just two of Quorn’s league games last season at step 4. In an apology of some sorts, there is no clear indication as to who the out and out left back is, but their are three/four centre halves who have all featured prominently this campaign. So if you put two and two together, it appears a bit more clear. Mason Frizelle and new signing Luke Cox have both featured in all of Quorn’s league games too date this campaign. 29 year old Frizelle like Bello, missed just two leagues game for the Leicestershire side last season. Meanwhile, 23 year old Cox made 33 league appearances for step 4 Shepshed Dynamo last season, where he scored three times, kept seven clean sheets, and won the supporter’s player of the season. Aside from Frizelle and Cox, player manager Ryan Beswick, who can play centre half or in midfield, has started seven of his nine league games, when he isn’t in the dugout. The 36 year old featured in 29 league games last season. To round off the defensive options, Jasper Tetlow, a centre half, has featured 10 times, three as starts, while young fullback Zhani Burgess has two appearances off the bench.
One things for sure, Quorn have plenty of options in the midfield. Let’s run through them all without making it sound too confusing. Here goes… Deen Master, Cain Noble, and Reece Fyfe are the three who have featured the most. 24 year old Master has failed to start in just one league game too date, the opening day in fact. The central midfielder signed in the summer from fellow Leicestershire side Barwell, of whom he made 39 league appearances out of a possible 42 for last season. 24 year old Noble has featured in every league game so far, only starting the six. The central midfielder featured in 36 of the Reds’ 40 league games last season. Second to Master for the most starts in the middle of the park, 28 year old Fyfe has started nine of his 10 league games. The central midfielder featured 34 times for Quorn in the league last season. Finishing off the midfield options, are new signings Dennis Digie (from Lye Town) and Joe Lyne (from Hinckley Leicester Road), as well as Jack York who has four substitute appearances, and attacking midfielder Jack Samples whose had one solitary start.
The forward options are just as eye watering. Recent three month loan signing from Kettering Town, Kai Fifield, started the most recent Quorn league match, in which he scored. The attacking midfielder/wide man featured 26 times, starting 14 in the league for the Poppies last season. In the wide positions, Finn O’Boyle has started the eight of his 10 league games this campaign and Billy Kee six of his nine. The former signed from Wigan Athletic in the summer, while the latter featured 14 times for the Reds last season. Left sided Jordan Clarke and right sided winger Rodrigo Goncalves have appeared once and five times respectively, the latter starting three. For the strikers, former Yeltz man Simeon Cobourne has scored three goals in seven starts this season, while Zak Goodson has scored six in eight. To add to the depth former Redditch United striker Marvellous Onabirekhanlen has started the once, featuring off the bench four times, but is yet to score.
