    National League North 2023-24

    We spanked South Shields 4-0, this after turning them over 1-0 in the league last week. For a full time team they seem really powder puff up front, whereas we seem back on it again after a 3 game blip a few weeks ago.

    Southport 0-1 Banbury Shite. We gave away a stupid penalty for the third game in a row, and offered little again.

    Chester destroyed us, 2-0 doesn't reflect how dominant they were. The best team I've seen at the level this season. We've done what we normally do and have gone off the boil quickly. We were lucky to best Gloucester, poor away at Peterborough Sports, and non-existent last night.

    Tidy player, generally retains possession well. He can be a bit lightweight but I'm sure a few more games in this league will help him develop that side of his game. He wasn't at his best yesterday but the surface was very slippy. Somehow scored with his face last weekend. He's from around the...

    Southport 2-1 Gloucester Close game with a lot of effort from both sides but little quality. We opened the scoring with a Brad Holmes header from a cross. Gloucester equalised when the little tubster Elliott Durell decided to start playing for 30 seconds and orchestrated the best football of...

    We drew 0-0 with Tamworth in a game ruined by the referee. 11 yellow cards and two red cards (one for Jim Bentley for seemingly very little), and only 2 cards for actual fouls. It wasn't even a particularly bad-tempered game! We were the better side in the first half but there were few clear cut...

    From what I'm aware there is no recall option for you on his loan, he just can't play against you. I'm guessing he is out of contract with you at the end of the season, hopefully we'll get something sorted out for him then.

    We spanked Kings Lynn 4-1. A perfect hat-trick from Marcus Carver, and a 30 yard free-kick from Jack Doyle put us 4-0 up at half time. Second half they bundled one home early on, but then we kept them at bay and managed the ridiculously hot conditions well (it was hard enough just standing and...

    Two wins on the trot for us now after humping Scarborough 3-1 tonight. Hopefully we're starting to put our run of one point in 14 matches to bed now!

    I'm surprised too. He's contributed to the relegation of the last two clubs he has managed. Having him take over when we have won just 1 point in our last 14 league games, are leaking goals for fun and haven't scored from open play this season is just asking for trouble.

    We have announced Jim Bentley as manager. Appointing someone who basically was Morecambe FC just doesn't sit right.

    Hard to argue with that. For the first half an hour is was a bit end to end, but once you got a grip of the game we looked well off the pace. Having Hmami sent off didn't help us, but in reality the game was gone by then. We are in big trouble this season. Can't defend and can't score. Even...

    I think Wilcox is based near Scunthorpe, and Wilkin in the Midlands, both a bit of a trek for a regular commute to Southport or Skelmersdale (where we train). I'd have Wilkin in heartbeat if he was interested.

    Jamie Milligan would be ideal. I would be happy with Bobby Grant too. Both should be realistic targets, depends on if Bamber Bridge want something for Milligan though.

    I think our players are better footballers than the style of play they had to use would let them show, and if anything didn't suit a lot of them at all.

    That is the worry, that he tries to meddle in team issues. He's already done good work as a director in terms of the commercial side and structure of the club, and he does have a remarkable record of player recruitment and selling players on. If he's involved with the latter I'd like it to be...

    Last night we had 5 summer signings start for us, with another 2 on the bench. They all seem to have fit right in with the underperforming players we already have. I've seen all 3 of our matches so far this season, and we've been woeful in each one, actually worse than the back end of last...

    A routine defeat at Alfreton for us. Same story, defensive errors cost us and we had little cutting edge up front. Now 10 defeats on the trot, and with a visit to Spennymoor on Tuesday followed by Boston at home on Saturday I can't see how we're going to end the run any time soon.

    Our manager is also on our board and is unlikely to vote himself out of his job. We've lost 9 league games on the trot now (obviously including last season). The manner of yesterday's defeat was awful, basic errors cost us goals then we just gave up. I can see it turning nasty really quickly...

    It's very normal there. If your fans include the type who would boot off on the tea lady, then they might find some aggro. Curzon Ashton are probably the team in this league who present the least amount of off-the-field bother. There will be more chance that your fans end up fighting amongst...
