The way we played against you bore no resemblance to how we have played the rest of the season. I think it may have been a reality check for some of our players, they now know they can't drop the effort levels like they did against you.

We were shocking today. We shifted our formation to a weird 5-2-3 and looked so disjointed, and our midfield were chasing shadows (we know as well as anyone that Declan Weeks can dictate a game as well as anyone at this level). Up front our 3 rarely got close enough to each other to support each...

Not quite true. We turned you over in an FA Trophy replay there in 2018. We haven't beaten this current version of your football club there in a league match though, 4 draws and 2 defeats for us in 6 league games. I'm not sure what to expect tomorrow. We've been down to the bare bones the last...

We've had Doug Tharme sign for Blackpool and return immediately on loan for the rest of the season. One hell of a move for the lad, can't say he hasn't deserved it. That's two players we've put into the Football League this transfer window, and us financially secure for a bit longer still after...

We ground out a 2-1 win over Guiseley in blustery conditions. They moved the ball around well but only had 2 shots on target, whilst we weren't at our best but had Jordan Archer to thank for two terrific finishes. Four away games on the trot for us next. I'd be very surprised if our 14 league...

We had our pants pulled down by Solihull today, they were just generally better than us all over the park. Them and Alty are the only two sides to win on our patch this season, and the quality gap between NL and NLN seems quite a jump.

I think he was out of contract at the end of the season, hence the low rumoured fee. Gutted to lose him but wish him all the best, hope he carries on his form for you.

Nah, he's terrible, a lazy goal-shy player. You really shouldn't bother. In all seriousness, if the transfer comes through he's earned it. He'll run channels all day long, and has found where the goal is recently. He'll also make opposition defenders (and fans) piss boil. We'll miss him but I...

Our match against Curzon Ashton was called off just over an hour before kick-off due to one solitary shower leading to a pitch that the ref deemed waterlogged. I'm still in Southport now and there hasn't been a drop of rain since. For a pitch that was completely relaid only a few years ago it...

It's a classic rivalry with two established mid-table NLN clubs :whistle:

Southport 4-0 Farsley We were 4-0 up at half-time and it should have been more, absolutely tore Farsley apart. Second half we went easy on them but were still the better team, I suspect it was another case of game management from us. Unfortunately there were some incidents of racism and...

Curzon Ashton 0-0 Southport The point we earned today was absolute daylight robbery. Bar a 10 minute period at the start of the second half Curzon dominated the match, even when they went down to 10 men after a horrific "tackle". We had too many players having off days, and our formation gave...

Can't argue with that, possibly our worst 45 minutes of the season so far. Referee not the best, but that doesn't disguise that we've been outplayed by you so far.

I've been doing the same. All the news coming from our end at the moment seems positive, so fingers crossed

Please God no. We went through a phase of being drawn against every other season in at least one competition. Would be nice for us to play someone different for a change.

Farsley 0-3 Southport A very easy win for us. Farsley struggled to get a side together, starting a number of their under-23 squad and only having 2 players on the bench, so it was no surprise that is was as one-sided a game I've seen this season. Half-time was limited to 5 minutes though, I...

Guiseley 0-2 Southport Routine win for us, rarely looked in any danger. First goal was shocking defending from Guiseley, second one was rifled into the corner from the edge of the area. Guiseley could be the worst side I've seen this season. They seemed desperate to play nice football but only...

Southport 2-0 Hereford. Our unbeaten home run this season continues. It was far from pretty given the game was played in a howling cross-wind and torrential showers. Hereford missed a sitter early on when one of their players put it over the stand from 10 yards, and Jordan Archer hit the bar...

Farsley away for us. Fourth time in 5 years we've been drawn there in an FA competition. The FA don't like change.

I've seen how bad you are, and in comparison to other recent sides of yours it was poor. This season, however, is basically a free hit: only one relegation place but a bumfight for promotion in which most teams will fail. It was perfect for a transitional season for you where you could have let...
