Holroyd hasn't been the same player since Quigley came in last season. Personally would have him nowhere near the starting XI right now. And can't believe I'd have said this just a few weeks ago, but the energy of Rutherford was hugely missed in central mid...
Thought those last 10-15 mins...
A real garbage performance. Big reality check for a very new team. Played right into Solihull's hands with our hoofball play, and then we take off Fondop with 20 mins to go.. the only player capable of challenging in the air. I think we had just the one half chance all game.
Danny Wright is...
So are you still expecting to be decent this season and push into top half again, or going to be battling at the wrong end?
I know you've lost Josh Rees to Gillingham - many other big players?
I think we'll be getting a bigger than usual crowd given our start, which normally means we'll fall...
No idea what to expect from Eastleigh - what is their ownership situation after the chairman left to go Sunderland?
On paper they've had a reasonably tough opening set of fixtures - Sutton have started well again, Solihull made a good start, and I think both Barnet and Bromley will pick up form...
Thought we were comfortable enough at Dover, but this will be a further step up.. and an early test against a side we're probably competing with for a play-off spot if we have hopes of getting there.
Will go with my predictor league guess which is Fondop to score another screamer, Danny Rowe to...
Hard fought and deserved win at Dover, I think.
They were bossing it first 10-15mins and hit the bar with a terrific strike about 20 yards out. Then I thought we got on top and deservedly took the lead, it looked an amazing overhead kick from a low cross from the other end.. will have to check...
Looking forward to another trip to Dover this weekend. Do love a long away day first game, gets you prepared for the misery of another season!
Really don't know what to expect from us in this match or throughout the season. Haven't done a pre-season game but based on what I've read, I'll say...
Interested to know what (if) other teams have started the Conference National season shorter than Salford's current odds.. (9/4 best price, 2/1 in most places)
