All season I've kept finding myself logging onto the National league forum. I can't not never give it up. Sad

Also a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel for Southend with the deal for the houses getting closer which is hopefully where Martin sods off. A takeover and promotion at the same time would be unbelievable for them.

I'm surprised he didn't get them into the play offs I thought that was a good appointment. He's inherited a crap unbalanced squad though.

It's fine. I just don't really see Crewe as a rival of any sort so seems a bit odd. I guess you're moderately local to us.

Yeah I don't think it looks 'tinpot'. Port Vale and Carlisle are decent sized clubs, as are Chesterfield. Fleetwood, Cheltenham and whoever else comes up from NL are of a similar calibre to Sutton and FGR. It should be a bit harder to call as there are fewer standout teams, but that usually...

Yeah they've got a few players (Dobra, Colclough etc) who will step up with no problem. Even that human skeleton Mandeville is more than good enough on his day. They need to sign better support for Grigg than the likes of Joe Quigley, and their defence looks shaky to me. Obviously will need a...

You'll enjoy the Chesterfield fans next season, a vibrant bunch . ODL is actually alright when you get used to his enthusiasm. There is one though that is not alright.

Tsk These Crewe fans are being very petty

John's got brewer's droop He gets intimidated by the dirty pigeons They love a bit of him

Pym needs to lose about 2 stone first. A good keeper though definitely. Okonkwo does have some brain farts now and again but potential wise he could go far- I think people forget he's only 22. Of course he's not our player and no guarantees he will sign for us in the summer. I don't think any...

Congrats to Stockport, well deserving champions. Surely bigger clubs will come sniffing around Challinor? has he been rumoured to be of interest to anyone in the past? Not saying he'd leave Stockport as they have the potential to go higher under him but he's done a brilliant job both there and...

Yeah well done Mansfield. Glad you got over your wobble and got it over the line, you deserve it from the season as a whole.

Okonkwo has been brilliant for us him coming in completely saved our season. That said there are four keepers with more clean sheets than him (Hinchcliffe, Farman, Bass and Pym) and he's second to Hinchcliffe on Clean Sheet percentage. If I'd have my choices for Wrexham players for team of...

As much as I admire how Bromley have transformed from a 'Who?' team to a very solid National League outfit they are neither fun to play or watch. As an example our keeper Rob Lainton was hospitalised in (I think) three successive seasons at Bromley away (knocked out twice and one broke wrist)...

I think this is right. We've missed out on targets where Agents have clearly pushed to get their fees higher. Luke Armstrong being the classic - and because of the horse trading to inflate his fee his move to us fell apart and in the end all parties ended up with less money and he moved to Carlisle.
