A tough game for us today, we always seem to struggle away to Bradford. A win would be 10 in a row but I would take the point now.

Ethan Wheatley signed on loan until the end of the season from Manchester United. Got a few minutes for United in the premier league last season & going by Twitter, the club have very high expectations for the kid. I personally think he’s signed to get a league title next to his name...

Unbelievable if true. He hasn’t settled at Lincoln since being recalled which is a real shame for the lad. But, as with many players, they suit certain clubs for one reason or another & I feel Draper is exactly that for us. He’s never going to replace Lowe, no one will, Lowe is one of the...

A few whispers that we’re back in for Freddie Draper. He was fantastic for us until Lincoln recalled him, it’s all gone about south for the lad since then. Apparently we had a bid (rumoured to be around £200k) rejected in the summer but the lad is really struggling to settle back in Lincoln...

An unbelievable result for us at Notts County yesterday. The group I was with were all saying at half time we’d take the 1-0 loss as it could of easily be 3/4-0. But, we did what we do every week and come out the second half a much different side. The press was constant, Sadler made two...

It’ll come. He enjoys searching his name on Twitter and getting into arguments with anyone who questions his ability. We also heard rumours of him trying to split the dressing room which is one of the reasons why we let him go after just 15 games. That and the fact he’s utter shit.

When Flynn first come to Walsall in February 22, the football improved massively. He brought in a more direct and purposeful style of play. Hoofball was rare. But for some reason from that start of last season, hoofball become more and more popular to the point where that was his only tactic...

I hope Flynn has learnt from his previous time with Kinsella. He would keep trying to play him further up the field and it never worked. Play him deep, let him dart about and act on instinct, he’ll do a great job. Try to manage him and over complicate his game, like he did at Walsall, you won’t...

Unsurprising move for Kinsella, I’m surprised it’s taken this long for it to happen! He’s a solid enough league 2 player, he won’t pull up any trees, he won’t split a defence open with a ball, nor will he contribute much going forward but he’ll leave everything on the pitch. He’s also a top...

Awful footballer. How we got money for him from Coventry is beyond me, daylight robbery. We’re still after a natural RWB. We were apparently in for Liam Bennett from Cambridge but they wanted £500k + add ons. We were willing to spend, but I’m glad we haven’t been held to ransom over a right...

Sold out the initial 970 tickets for Morecambe, next batch due the next few days and I expect us to sell them out too. Wrexham tickets went on sale this morning. I called to get two, the lady in the ticket office said they’re selling much faster than expected. I’d expect us to sell them out...

As much as I’d love this to be true, I highly doubt it. Though the guy who first said it has been bang on with all his calls so far, I can’t see why Bennett would drop down a division when, give it another season or two, he’ll find himself in the Championship. I do hope I’m wrong though.

Morecambe have given us just short of 1000 tickets, 600 standing and the rest seated. £20 standing, £25 seated. Expect us to sell that out. Bring it on, can’t wait to get back to it!

We have signed Harry Williams for an undisclosed fee from Alveschurch after a successful trial. Young CB, recently had a trial at Leicester. He apparently played very well against Leamington and Villa. Promising move. We have also been linked with Jesse Debrah from Halifax. However he’s been...

Over the moon with this news, fantastic defender who could easily handle himself in league 1.
