We always seem to step it up against sides who are top of the league, so I'm hoping it will be another great game. It's the sides towards the bottom we don't seem to turn up against. Looking forward to the visit of Exeter this weekend, I will be making the trip from Manchester. It's been a fair...

Think Witton may have spent one season at National League level but was very early 90's. I think the comments were much directed at Witton's ground as Northwich would have ground-shared with Witton whilst playing in the National League.

He was excellent against Salford a couple of weeks ago.

He's not. Grew up in Northwich and watched them for a number of years and in the glory days of competing in the national leagues, gates were always around 1000. Even in the Northern Premier League, gates of around 500 would turn up because they played some excellent football under Andy Preece...

Moving back on topic.... Living in Manchester and having a rare afternoon free, I went to watch Salford vs Gateshead. I've seen Salford play a couple of times this season but was very impressed with Gateshead. Very capable, organised side who like to keep the ball on the floor but were also...

That's why I have my doubts why Salford will run away with this league. They will be every team's cup final and every team will want to put one over big-spending Salford. Sure, they will roll some teams over but I think they will struggle against others when they are up against it and I'm still...

Mark Roberts, the ex Stevenage and Fleetwood defender? RE: Callum Saunders. I only ever recall him starting a game once when he was at Crewe, he may have started a couple more but i'm willing to bet 90% would have been appearances off the bench and within the last 5/10 minutes but agreed, very...

Can only really echo what JJ1532 said really, very inconsistent defender but his pace does usually get him out of jail for bad defending. Will put a one decent cross in per game, and cable of getting a couple of assists, it's an odd one because he would work really well as a wing-full back if he...

Before he signed for Grimsby, he did have a trial with Crewe and have heard similar stories as to why he wasn't signed up. Again though, by all accounts Yates worked really well with him at the end of last season so if anybody is going to get the best out of him, Mark Yates will.

Ok, thanks. I'd like to say he would be a squad player but Full-Back on both sides is something we haven't addressed for 3/4 seasons now, always throw academy graduates in there, who to be fair have had success, particularly last season but are prone to mistakes e.g switching off and the way the...

Any idea who the trialists were for Barrow last night? Know an ex-Blackpool striker played and looked a decent prospect along with Steven Rigg (Ex-Carlise). Apart from Jason Taylor, nothing else has been said about the rest of thre trialists who played last night, including who scored?

Always rated Ben Nugent, especially when he first signed for Crewe but we have a habit of coaching the defending right out of them so they do become Crewe defenders over time, same way Raynes is going now... Not great on the ball, you will find most of his long passes usually stray out for a...

Certainly going to be very open and very competitive, think any of 10 or 11 teams will make up the top 7 places, then apart from the bottom 6/7 teams the rest could finish in any random order... Here's my predictions. 1. Leyton Orient 2. Chesterfield 3. Hartlepool United 4. Salford City 5...

Nicky Hunt has been training and is now on trial with Crewe Alex... Supposed to have done well in the pre-season game, and expected to play some part in tonight's game. See he played around 12-15 games for Notts last season, what are your thoughts on him?
