Chorley were off the pace yesterday against a good Boston side and consequently fell 3 behind in a first half dominated by Boston. Much better second half but a missed penalty and a couple of very good saves from Boston keeper prevented any way back into the game. Need to get back to form next...
Another comfortable home win to keep the pressure on Sfunthorpe in 2nd, all we can do is keep winning games, if they win theirs then they finish second but for sure we will chase them all the way. Next up is Boston United at Victory Park.
Superb strike from Jack Hazlehurst today fir the first...
Gutted to lose in stoppage time last night but overall pleased with 6 points from the 3 away games at Stortford, Hereford and South Shields. 2 home games now coming up so hopefully we can cement our play off place. Good news that we have Kiersn Glynn now till end of season.
Excellent 3 points for the Magpies away at Hereford, keeps the pressure on Scunthorpe in the chase for 2nd place. Another very difficult away tie at South Shields now on Tuesday.
Comfortable 4-1 win at Stortford after a bit of a wobble by falling behind to a 7th minute opener. Decent night for us results wise but we needed it as we now have 2 very tough away games at Hereford and South Shields. Hopingxwe can get something g out of these games.
Another 3 points at home for the Magpies, on to the long trip to Bishop Stortford now on Tuesdaym a win there certainly cements our place I the Play Offs, aim now must surely be a home tie in the Semi Finals.
Probably not unexpected but lost away at Brackley last night, always a tough place to go and apparently we didnt really turn up. Oh well back home on Saturday v Rushall and we owe them one after somehow losing 5-0 at their place.
He played at right back for us on Tuesday in order to give Adam Henley a rest, did ok and it was clear he had played at a higher level, pleased to have got him as we needed cover as Blackpool recalled Jack Moore. Pleased I was right with my feeling we would beat Tamworth.
What a result for the Magpies tonight, had a feeling we would get the 3 points, yes we rode our luck but the defence were superb with keeper Max Dearnley absolutely outstanding. Got the goal in the first 15 minutes the had to withstand heavy pressure especially just before half time but in the...
He has played for you guys before hasnt he? Expect him to play a bigger role against tamworth at home tomorrow. I have a feeling we will end their run.
Fairly routine 3 points today though Southport did test us a little In the first half. Second half was all Chorley and it was when not if the first goal came, we went on to score three and ease to a comfortable win played on a difficult pitch which got worse as the game went on.
On now to...
Good battling 3 points tonight after a very slow start, second best throughout first half then Spennymoor seemed to run out of steam, we dominated second half and got thec2 goals we needed to ensure the points stayed at Victory Park. Up to 4th again now.
Chorley won easily against a very poor Gloucester side who look doomed to me. We looked very tired but still won easily and it could and should have been at least 6!
Onwards now to last 16 of Trophy home v Solihull squad down to bare bones think we will get tonked.
As I feared we didnt really turn up at Warrington and whilst we might have got a point I have no real complaints about Warrington winning, ah well hopefully we will be better Tuesday home to Gloucester.
Very tough trip to Warrington today, never sure which Chorley will turn up but if the mindset isnt right then we will probably lose. Really need to go out with the attitude we had against Alfreton last Tuesday.
As expected it was the usual physical battle against Alfreton and after 20 minutes I thought it was over but we settled down got the ball down then scored a terrific equalizer, went ahead on the stroke of HT Alfreton got back on terms but we battled on and managed to scramble home a winner with...
Starting to pay dearly now for a small and weak squad, unable to compete physically with a robust Farsley side, the consequence being just a single home point , with another bruising encounter to come with Alfreton on Tuesday.
