    Walsall v FGR

    Pretty much a delve into the unknown for both sides. I have no real knowledge of Walsall other than reading the match previews and reports on here from last week’s game. Sounds like Walsall will be hard to score against at home, we’ll give them chances, but it was stated by MC we need to learn...

    The goal keeper position is a strange one to understand with us. I'm used to us signing a competent proven keeper under contract with the express intention of becoming our number one barring injury or similar. But this is far from the case with Cooper, or is that with our goal keeping coach...

    FGR v Oldham

    Dire first half, with hindsight our new young guns were still bedding in, because we did improve quite a bit in the second half. It helped that Oldham were all at sea, and looking like a side without any leaders. Difficult to take much from this, our goal was only marginally tested towards the...

    FGR v Oldham

    A disruptive preparation, so many good coaches have come and gone in the close season, that must have made an impact. Plus a big lack of experience in our side, relying on the expeirience of the Mills brothers, Faz and Dawson. Expect today to go similar to our first ever football league game...

    Pre Season friendly thread

    Brimscombe 0 - 6 Swindon Just a friendly workout. Swindon 2 up after 6 minutes, after which the enthusiasm unsurprisingly dropped off. Two halves and two different 11's for Swindon. I don't know too many Swindon regulars, but Doughty started first half a long with Anderson & Woolery up front...

    Recruitment and Starting Line-up’s

    Well that's interesting to know Chris. You have to say there have been a few strange comings and goings, all of which appear to point to a scaling back compared to last season. (including losing two highly rated coaches). Looking back at last season now, you could now say we were going for it...

    He played a number of games for us. Ended up as No2 to Sam Russell. Was widely admired by most of our fans and still is. Went onto Guiseley before moving to Accy.

    I'm going into complete meltdown if that comes off ! Lol He's our best player by a country mile, in my biased opinion. Seriously, my optimism, for which I'm not renowned, is being fully put to the test thus far. Apparent!y were waiting until the 1st of July when contracts have expired :err:

    We’ve signed 20-year-old midfielder James Morton on a season-long loan from Bristol City. The midfielder, who can sit in a holding role or slightly higher up the pitch, joins from Ashton Gate after spending last season on loan at Bath City. This fits with the pattern of signing youngsters with...

    2018/19 L2 Play-Off Semi-Final: Tranmere Rovers v Forest Green Rovers

    Best part of 4 hours! 3.5 coming back, roads quite then. Friday rush hour time is not the best. I got off the M6 at Wolverhampton and came-up through Salop and Whitechurch etc, even that was a ball ache. Came back via M56/M6 long stretches of 50 and 30mph on there. Leave 4.5 hours for sure. Then...

    Newport vs Mansfield, play-off semi final

    I had Mansfield down for auto promo after our two encounters a few months back. But Bury came late to the party, and MK recovered after your wobble. Mansfield have been consistent without being spectacular. I'd agree, Mansfield as slight favourites to get up.

    Newport vs Mansfield, play-off semi final

    Newport have three very good strikers, It'll be some job to keep them all quiet. Can they defend though! Tough tie.
