Dane's Review of
the month ......
Good evening and Welcome to my
first review of the season.
To say my first month in charge at Ottery has been busy is an
understatement. We started training at the end of June and I’m delighted
with the squad I have built in the time since, I have made some wonderful
signings which should make us a force in the league next season. My backroom
staff is taking shape as well, with Andy Johnstone as my assistant Manager
and Local Man David Weeks taking up the position of player coach. However we
are still in search of someone to help us out with the medical bag.
I had a number of targets at the start of the summer and I’m delighted to
report that I have secured all but one of those. These players will bring a
massive amount of quality to the club and I look forward to seeing the team
in action.
Last weekend we played in the Sidbury Pre-Season Cup, our semi-final match
ended with a 5-0 win in our favour, some of the football played by the
players that day was outstanding, backed up by one of our goal, of which
every player in the side touched the ball before it was tucked away. In the
final on Sunday I experimented with a different system and after 20 minutes
it was clear that it hadn’t worked as we found ourselves 3-0 down. But the
players dug deep and got the scores level and were knocking on the door for
a winner when Sandhurst broke away to get a last minute winner. I was
delighted with our 2nd half performance. To boss and bully a team that play
at step 5 like we did was so good to see.
With the friendly’s coming thick and fast in the next month there will be
more to feedback in my next report next month . I hope many of you will get
up and support the team in the coming weeks, as I’ve said before to have as
many people supporting the team as possible really helps the players on the
day and gives them so much encouragement.
Regards
Dane

Michael Burke Joins from Liskeard Athletic |
Otters make more signings... Dane
Bunney made four new signings for the Otters this week.
Ben Ferguson - from Vospers - Central Midfielder
Craig Roberts - From Elburton Villa- Left wing
Michael Burke- Liskeard Athletic - Central Midfielder
Simon Parnell- Plymouth Parkway - striker
the Michael burke signing has caused a stir in Plymouth with managers
questioning how I've managed to persuade Michael to Ottery. He had offers
from Bodmin town and Saltash united , but signed on the dotted line for
Ottery St Mary . Other great news on the player front is we have retained
Tony Ali!! it has taken me 5 weeks to do this but i have persuaded him to
stay and will be the club captain !!!
'' the quality of the signings made this summer should put us in a position
to compete in all competitions, we have a squad of winners who wont accept
anything less then 1st place in any competition we enter''
we are very close to finalising the squad now , hopefully by the end of this
weekend , the squad will be complete

sent off at the final whistle for descent.

The New Manager
Dane Bunney
 |
When I came
up to Ottery St Mary to be interviewed for the position of the football
manager I was amazed at what a lovely town you guys have , I was pleasantly
surprised at the activity and hustle and bustle in the town centre.
When I arrived at the ground I was very impressed
with the facilities at the clubs disposal.
In my time as Millbrook Manager I considered
Millbrook a village were people simply go and wait to die. There is no
activity, no business’s, you see no-one as you walk up the main street.
However I was shocked to hear that the Ottery
residents were still short on numbers supporting their local club on match
days.
In the coming weeks I will start to assemble your
squad for the 2010/11 season. We have a number of friendlies to be played at
home (dates are on the website). The first home league game for the club is
on Wednesday 1st September.
I plan over the next 3 seasons to build you a team
for you to be proud of and exciting to watch, the aim is to get the club out
of this league within that time. Being from Plymouth I won’t be leading a
Plymouth invasion of players, I will be bringing some up yes. But the club
will retain identity by using local players.
So please come along, bring a friend and cheer the
lads on it makes a massive difference to them when they go out on to the
pitch and see the local people driving them forward. This club is a sleeping
giant of local football and together we can wake it up !!!
