We've signed Marcus Carver on loan for the season from Scunthorpe, apparently with no recall clause. I'm sure Scunthorpe fans will not mind him being off the wage bill to some extent, but our record with him on loan last season was played 8, won 6, lost 2 (without him played 38, won 7, drew 11...

We've just signed Chris Renshaw from Curzon Ashton. Have to say I'm happy with that, Tony McMillan did well in goal last season but we can't be relying on a 41 year old too much longer! Our other signings so far are Matty Thomson (right back from Bamber Bridge), and Freddie Sass (left back from...

Edwards must have proved his fitness then? Fair play to him if he has, it it wasn't for his injury he'd be a Football League player.

Part of the problem is that a lot of people suspected the money was dodgy for a very long time. I think it's been easier for your fans to turn a blind eye to it when he's guided your club to unprecedented success, but these things have not been forgotten in non-league circles. We might be...

The weighting of the play-offs where the higher up a team finishes the more they get of a home advantage in their ties is probably just reward as it is. If a team blobs it at home to some mid-table cannon fodder who scraped into 7th place on the last day of the season then they only have...

It wouldn't surprise me if we make an approach. He may not have done much for you but he's been key for us and how we play, and he seems to like it here too.

We are bottom of the form table for the last 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 games, and joint bottom for 30 games. We were only in the play-off places when we had Marcus Carver on loan, as soon as he went back to Scunthorpe we started to implode. At any normal club Liam Watson would have been sacked long...

Most of the play-off contenders are basically the best of a bad bunch, with us at the arse-end of the table the worst of them. I've not seen a genuinely good team in this league this season, buy my God we've been awful recently.

Williams injury didn't look too bad, he got up and held his left shoulder, but he pushed himself up off the ground using that arm when he got up. Willoughby was obviously hobbling. Looks like we've lost Jordan Archer for the season too today. All just casualties of what was a fairly contested game.

Southport 1-2 Chester Another shite ref. Sent off Jack Doyle early on for a tackle with was a foul and should have been a booking, and must have been the only person in the ground who thought it was a red card. As for the rest of the game, they scored a belter, then we scored an even better...

Bradford (Park Avenue) 2-0 Southport Another deserved defeat for us, and another game where I can't remember us having a shot on target. Lots of balls into the box though, unfortunately we're just so easy to defend against. Next up for us is Chester at home followed by a trip to King's Lynn. I...

A just about deserved win for you guys. Awful game, but you got your shots on target whereas we didn't. That our goalkeeper got MOTM in a 1-0 defeat says how poor we were outfield.

Scarborough Athletic 0-1 Southport :bg: That is all. I might have a bit of a headache in the morning.

Southport 0-0 Kettering It was as bad as it sounds. I don't think either side had a shot on target, although Kettering hit the woodwork twice.

Southport 2-1 Blyth Another game in which we were slow out of the blocks, but luckily for us Blyth were wasteful with their chances. We had some chances ourselves but couldn't take advantage either. There was a 15 second period of play where we had one cleared off the line, followed by us...

A toothless performance from us in our 1-0 defeat at Buxton. We barely created anything despite having a reasonable amount of the ball. Buxton had a few chances, scored a goal where their lad must have run 30 yards with the ball unchallenged before shooting, and then sensibly killed the game...

Chorley 1-2 Southport Chorley should have been out of sight at half time, their 1-0 lead with a scabby goal from a corner not being justice for how they played. They won the battles all over the park but were wasteful with their chances. We just didn't turn up. Something must have been said at...

Darlington 0-0 Southport The wind ruined this one. First half an hour was really scrappy, after that Darlo passed the ball well but didn't do a lot with it, and we spent the second half lumping it into the wind hoping to turn them on the back foot. The fact that our MOTM was our 41 year old...

I genuinely struggled to understand why Peers didn't start, he's caused us problems every time I've seen him play against us. I look at Curzon and part of me wonders how they keep a side of so many experienced and decent players on the gates they get, and this without a known sugar daddy. I...

We drew 1-1 at Curzon Ashton. We were the better team in the first half, went in at half time deservedly 1-0 up. Second half we barely got out of our own half, and they deservedly equalised. Fair result overall.
