Notts County seem to have given a job to our former CEO. Not going into details on here but, seriously, good luck with how that goes. https://www.nottscountyfc.co.uk/news/2023/july/joe-palmer-appointment-210723/

From what I can see it's nothing revolutionary - basic 4-4-2 with the midfield changing shape to defend but two wingers and an advanced midfielder when we go forward. One striker as a bit of a battering ram, the other a goalscorer. The sort of system that Division 4 footballers can understand. I...

Yeah, pretty certain we won't see a repeat of last year. Nine players in, most of whom are a step up on paper over what they're replacing. Building towards a particular playing system too. No idea how high it'll get us but for the first season in a long time I don't think we'll be worrying the...

Similar to what we have already with Tzanev except Bass sounds like he has higher highs, so an upgrade of sorts.

For now. Got injured for the end of last season and only got his protective boot off a couple of weeks ago. Was definitely on our Spain trip. If he comes back playing the way he did last season I'd expect a lot of clubs sniffing around him in January, and not from this division.

Beat Reading 1-0 in a friendly in Spain, so we're obviously going up this year.

And most Wimbledon fans I know won't touch it with a bargepole. Some very unpleasant posters, quite apart from being unreadable.

Yeah, but everywhere called Sutton gets its name as a minor settlement to the south of somewhere more important a bit further north.

I make you far too optimistic. If you're out of sorts then it's got a very scrappy and ugly 0-0 written all over it. It's what cold Tuesday evenings in February were made for.

I think you might be right with the 0-0. I'd take that before kick-off. We've only conceded 4 in 10 but our forward line has been pretty much rebuilt during the transfer window so don't expect fireworks at the other end either.

Start of a make or break month for us. After Orient away this weekend, it's Carlisle at home then Northampton away with Stevenage away at the end of the month. Doubt Orient will allow themselves to be outfought again like they were at our place.

Taller ≠ Better. Exhibit A - Kyle Hudlin.

You definitely have bid for Currie but don't know how much and don't know if he has a release fee. Him and Biler on the opposite side at the back are both kids with astonishing maturity and confidence and *should* be worth a lot. I think we may just turn you down out of spite though because of...

We don't look very good, but that misses what we do that's effective. We make other teams look not very good too by not letting them play, through a combination of keeping a good shape and shithousing when needed. Only 4 goals conceded in 10 games says something. No-one takes us seriously for a...

Ayoub Assal to some club in Qatar for a £1m+ fee to us and a 5 year contract during which he'll clear at least £5m for himself. Wouldn't get near that wage here so can't really blame him for thinking of certain financial security now rather than potentially down the line. Can't imagine it'll...

Quick hat-trick. Ali Al-Hamadi from Wycombe on a two-and-a-half year contract. Like the sound of him.

And in a team perpetually fighting relegation during that time. We can't have won more than about a dozen of those 78 games. I'd agree with the general assessment that he's potentially very good but needs some bad habits sorting out quick. If he does join Bolton and they go up then I think he...

I don't think you understand what a £1 million release clause is.

I remember the good old days when you had to be voted into a closed shop. We tried just about every year for 15 years until the league clubs finally cut Workington adrift. If they brought that back we could at least stop Wrexham getting in.

I am, but you get easily pleased after not winning for 27 games. Settled down now after a patchy start, including the embarrassment at Mansfield, largely due to getting in the likes of Pell as seasoned shithousers to support the talented kids. Quite ugly at times but we do have quality in there...
