I think you got your wish. We were the best team for the first 30-40 minutes, after that there was only one team in it and it wasn't us. The level of experience Curzon showed was something our young team is lacking. There were no signs of tired legs after your 120 minutes against Cambridge the...

We've tried it twice in the last 15 years and failed with it both times. It's a nightmare for clubs of our size, unless there's someone throwing money into a club its hard work bringing in full-time players of appropriate quality, and decent part-time players just won't come for an overall pay cut.

We gave Farsley our usual humping again yesterday, but not without the help of some comical goalkeeping. A complete swing-and-miss kick gave Archer an empty net to tap into for our first, and our forth was from a charged down clearance. Officials weren't great again, Mulhearn's sending off for...

First half we were shite and you were slightly better, deservedly 1-0 to you at HT. Second half we were much better and you were shite. A 2-1 win to us is probably fair but it was far from a classic. It also seems that we're both attracting a number of idiots intent on causing trouble. I don't...

Southport 1-4 Buxton I've never seen us lose by 3 goals and come away thinking we should have won... until yesterday. The referee (Richard Holmes) did everything he could to help Buxton and screw us over, including: 1) Disallowing a perfectly good goal for us from a corner because our player...

The Pride of County Durham 0-1 Southport Spennymoor tried to be one of those teams who like to play out from the back, but failed miserably. A sloppy touch by one of their defenders gave Bainbridge a free shot on goal, which he rifled into the corner of the net for the only goal of the game...

Southport 4-1 Bradford Park Avenue Comfortable win for us. Absolute thunderbastard from Bainbridge to open the scoring, second goal from Walton after Niall Watson didn't give up on a lost cause, a Charlie Oliver penalty after a blatant handball, and an Archer header at the death to wrap it up...

The referee had a shocker. Bainbridge could have walked for his foul, completely understand why we had to take him off but that contributed to us losing control in midfield as his replacement Munro just isn't the same type of player (think a poor man's Declan Weeks). You should have had a...

Chester 1-0 Southport A lot of effort from us first half but no quality. Second half was even less quality, and the inability to defend a ball into the box (again). Standard defeat for us at Chester, but is doesn't disguise how lacking we have been recently. We're in big trouble

Alfreton 4-0 Southport Strange game. Defending the slope at Alfreton is always difficult, and we found ourselves doing this first half. For most of the first half we were the better team, stretching Alfreton's back line and being very much on the front foot, then defensively we just seemed to...

That's a good number travelling. We've got a lot of fans who live well out of town who can't get to midweek home games (myself included). Our midweek attendances tend to drop by 100-200 fans compared to Saturday games and have done for years.

Southport 0-3 Peterborough Sports We shot ourselves in the foot in the first minute, terrible defending from Anson and Cam Mason hopelessly out of position, and their lad slotted it in from an angle just outside the area. We tried to claw our way back in the game but created nothing, and they...

Boston 3-5 Southport Strange game. For the first hour Boston seemed unable to kick the ball but had no problems kicking our players, other than that they offered nothing and we picked them off with ease. A couple of substitutions from us due to injuries, and they clawed back some respectability...

We've kept the bulk of our side from last season, so we at least have some continuity for once which will hopefully stand us in good stead. We've got a small squad though, and already have 3 players out injured (one for the season), so I'm not sure how well we'll cope with the extra games this...

We've brought in Enock Lusiama on loan for a month from Accrington. We signed Nyal Bell but he's done his ACL in pre-season, and with Josh Hmami and Declan Evans both out injured too we risked going into Saturday's match at Boston not even being able to fill the bench. Lusiama has only played...

You've certainly got a team and resources capable of doing it. A lot will depend on your manager's conduct and how good he is at keeping everyone happy, which he doesn't have a good track record of and could be your undoing.

We've signed Keenan Quansah from Stalybridge today. Was their supporters' player of the year last season, and he looks a bit of a unit. Our only other signing this summer so far has been Michael Carberry from Bootle, who finished last season with us on dual registration and looked decent. Like...

He's had two spells with us. The first was in the National League, and even though he is a central defender he spent some time playing as an anchor man in front of the back 4 and still looked quality. This season he was great when he played, and was a part of our long unbeaten run. He stepped...

We're also a town where people from other areas go to die, and where young people from the town leave to live. Throw in the mix of people growing up in Everton and Liverpool supporting families, and we've got an uphill struggle in terms of both attracting and keeping fans.

I'm surprised he's still getting a gig at this level, let alone full time football with yourselves. He's a bit of a show pony who hides his lack of overall ability with occasionally decent long-range shots. He must have a good agent to have got some of the moves he's had since we released him.
