Went to Prenton Park today - what an eventful match! I agree that Eastleigh were cynical throughout the match and the way in which they went defensive at 2-0 nearly cost them the match. However they are not a team of cloggers and the right back Partington had an excellent game which also...

It's a great price. Looks like Hills have shortened now.

Which bookie gave you 125/1 about that happening? Looks a decent bet based on Amond and Grimsby's form over past few weeks. Sky Bet?

Really impressed that Grimsby fans raised over £100,000 for their club - that sort of money will make a difference at National League level and the supporters who dug into the pocket deserve to see their team have a successful season. Seems like the Mariners' pre-season results have almost been...

I had a look at Padraig Amond but 8/37 and 11/45 for Morecambe in L2 the past two seasons don't suggest he is going to set the National League alight. Rendell is obviously proven at this level - my concern with Andy Mangan is whether he will be injury-free all season.

Nobody has yet mentioned Amari Morgan-Smith who I've just backed at 33/1 with BetVictor. He's Cheltenham's main striker next season and has scored a few during pre-season. Gary Johnson will set Town up in a very attacking style next season claiming that a lot of goals need to be scored in order...

From a betting pov, the two that really stand out are Tom Bradshaw and Joe Gormley. Bradshaw had an excellent goal ratio for Walsall last season despite spending several months on the sidelines. Gormley has been a goal machine in northern Ireland and could carry on in the same vein for Posh...

Does anyone know when the BT Sport games are likely to be announced? Can't find anything at the moment - do they show one match every week?

You'll make few friends on this forum with a cocky attitude like that - it doesn't appear that the other 23 teams in the league are quaking in their boots about a side who have suffered a double drop and have to rebuild their squad :-)

Brabin is probably not the best manager in the league (that would be Gary Johnson) although he's obviously experienced in managing at this level and being a scouser with an understanding of the club was a big draw in the eyes of Mark Palios. He doesn't have much to follow after last season's...

The Braintree game was the season in L1 where we stormed the first half of the season before tailing off to finish 11th. The losing mentality doesn't exist with the new manager and the majority of players that make up the new squad. They haven't suffered two relegations and neither have the...

If Altrincham and Braintree are baptisms of fire, then which clubs wouldn't be?! With respect to them, the bookies have them right down the pecking order and they are infinitely preferable to getting Chester or Wrexham (or even Cheltenham or Grimsby).

It is difficult for Tranmere fans not to think "this will be easy". Three seasons ago, we went to Braintree in the FA Cup and won 3-0. We were a League One side and there was a clear gulf in class. It's hard to adjust one's mentality after two successive relegations although hopefully the...

The team that surprises us all and does very well? Cheltenham on the basis that few seem to give them a chance The team that starts off great but then falters as the season progresses? I'm guessing Barrow could have some momentum The team that will be up there all season then mess it up right at...

They walked the division before taking their foot off the gas in the final few matches :sb:
