IA privilege to work with John in the last 1.5 years.
Had to get him up to speed when we 1st came in due to lack of game time but he was huge in our 1sr season success.
The hamstring at Southend away April 25 set him back but still a game changer when it mattered.
Go well JA💙

John Akinde departs The Iron

We would like to thank John for all his efforts over the past two seasons as he signs for fellow National League South side Folkstone Invicta

John made 95 appearances in his time in Orange and Blue, scoring 17 goals and making 8 assists

@MarkDoigFC The problem starts at the top.
The structure from there downwards is simply not right.

[Steve Pitt @StevePitt3]

Hard to believe that Chelsea had European football to play for today based on that performance…….

[Steve Pitt @StevePitt3]

@parms11 Don’t necessarily disagree with your sentiments about Europe next season Parms.
My overriding disappointment is yesterday’s performance level given what was at stake ?

[Steve Pitt @StevePitt3]

@Al_roar @wivenhoetown_fc @BOREHAM_WOODFC @Raymond40689274 December 2005 we beat them 3-1 at home.
I think @SiThommo21 got a brace.
BW went on to win the League that season I believe?

[Steve Pitt @StevePitt3]

Xabi Alonso must be given full autonomy @ChelseaFC particularly over recruitment……
The current model simply doesn’t work.

[Henry Winter @henrywinter]

It’s official, it’s a terrible season for Chelsea, the club world champions. No trophies, ninth in the table, danger of not qualifying for any European competition, players speaking out, fans protesting, managerial churn, inexperienced caretaker. Some of the players are culpable, not given enough, not taken responsibility when needed.

But this is largely down to the owners, to their flawed approach to recruitment, to their lack of connection to the fanbase, to their astonishing naivety. Chelsea fans deserve better. They deserve more leaders on the field and any leader in the boardroom. They deserve more expertise in the recruitment department. Owners need a rethink. Club needs a reset. #CFC #FACupfinal #CHEMCI

What on earth has happened to @wivenhoetown_fc ?
Apparently they have been relegated to step 7 of the non league pyramid 😡
20 years ago this month we were 45mins away from step 3.
Any feedback @town_stats ?

Delighted for @BTFC with today’s result & outcome.
Really good people at the helm with Dave /Nick & Alex who thoroughly deserve this promotion.
Massive well done to @danscopes6 & @Adamdrew1979 for getting the club over the line.

[Steve Pitt @StevePitt3]

What an extraordinary achievement @jamiejpls @StanwayRovers
I cannot think of many better local success stories at the level than today’s promotion to step 3 👊⚽️

[Steve Pitt @StevePitt3]

The pleasure has
all been mine @braintreetownfc
The fans & volunteers alike have been unbelievable.
It has been a rollercoaster 18 months with some fantastic memories.
Truly humbled ⚽️💙

A big thank you from myself personally to @StevePitt3. I'm not the most comfortable when it comes to interviews as it's an avenue I prefer to stay away from but had to do and Steve is one of the most helpful and friendly people I have met in my nine years of being in this role

[Henry Winter @henrywinter]

Completely unacceptable performance by Chelsea. Embarrassing. No organisation, no heart, no fight, no pride, no leadership, no goal threat. It’s like they’ve given up at Brighton. Just because they’re near the beach doesn’t mean they’re allowed to be on it. Shameless performance. No wonder the fans are furious. These aren’t useless players, they’re internationals, which makes their abject showing at the Amex even worse. Overpaid underperformers.

Liam Rosenior will probably pay the price for this string of shameful displays and results, he’s out of his depth, but he’s the symptom of the malaise at Chelsea, not the cause. Club needs some grown-ups, experienced football people in the boardroom, in the recruitment department and in the dressing-room. Chelsea are such a contrast to Brighton & Hove Albion, who are so well-run on and off the field. BlueCo has to look, listen and learn. Because Boehly and Eghbali are currently overseeing a self-inflicted shambles. #CFC

@martinculshaw @Scott_Weaver14 @officiallydale @braintreetownfc Just seen your post.
Are you a Rochdale official?
Whether you are or not don’t tell lies on social media to suit your own narrative.
Have an opinion on the game and disagree by all means.
I actually sat 2 seats away from a Rochdale fan & enjoyed good dialogue with him all game.

[Steve Pitt @StevePitt3]

Sadly you can only control the controllable.
Good luck to Jim/staff/players & fans @officiallydale in their quest for the NL title.
My players 1-16 @braintreetownfc were superb today and we were tactically spot on.
Thanks to the fans for your unwavering support as always 💙⚽️

[Steve Pitt @StevePitt3]

What an extraordinary story this is.
Came in and spent a month on loan with us over xmas & NY then got injured but was outstanding from day one.
In addition his attitude & application were 1st class.
Fast forward 3 months and he is now a Champions League semi finalist 💙⚽️

From playing at Cressing Road to the bench at The Emirates Stadium for Champions League Football!

Huge congratulations to Harrison Dudziak 🧡💙

Really sad to learn about the passing of former Southend and Colchester midfielder, Nicky Smith.

A workhorse of a footballer. He regularly joined us for a kick about at the old Post Office Field during his time at Roots Hall.

Taken far too young. Sleep tight, Smudger 🙏

[Steve Pitt @StevePitt3]

Thanks to the magnificent @braintreetownfc travelling support today.
We are truly sorry that we could not reward you with a positive result that your efforts deserved.
We will continue to fight & give you everything in the last 4 games until the race is run.
Now on to Monday.

Love seeing this @StevePitt3 🔥
