August looks like an awkward set of fixtures on paper. All depends on how good Boreham Wood and Notts County actually are, but trips to Dover and Hartlepool always go one of two ways and then there’s the visit of Barnet too and surely they can’t be as bad this time around..

Awful pun, but I admire your spirit.

I just saw a MLS VAR feature on Sky Sports presented by Howard Webb where he was watching DC United play someone. During the game DC scored a goal, but there was a question about it being offside, so up it goes to VAR. 3 of them (at least) were sat in that room looking at the footage on the...

The fans will always expect. He should be given the time and the ‘rally behind’ kind of support, but if the team isn’t clicking and he’s losing games consistently, the mood will change and they’ll want you out sadly. Personally thought Sarri would do much better this coming season, when you look...

Think we’ll get a home match to start this season, so I’ll say Maidenhead. Also think Chorley is likely for the Christmas/New Year matches. Suppose Barrow could also be a possibility and pretty sure we’ve had Halifax for those slots one season too. We almost always seem to finish the season at...

I’m assuming this is aimed at me, but not 100%. Anyway, the “20 seconds here and there” comment was connected to my own personal restructuring of VAR. I know it’s not 20 seconds now, it’s being applied poorly, that’s why I came up with the hypothetical plans. 20 seconds for 4 officials to make...

Newton put on quite a few pounds in his second season for us. No idea if it was down to Mills’ half arsed training or his own problem, but he lost his effectiveness down the left side because of it. So maybe this is why he’s been pushed more central.

His hair already annoys me.

The quintessential National League winger. Lightning fast feet and good speed from a standing start, but he is vulnerable to the wind knocking him over and like you say, very little end product. He is a positive direct player though, always adds some much needed energy to the game.

No it was the guy I said. I looked him up, he played 40 times for you last season apparently (and also looks like he’s had quite an eventful month). He scored the flukey deflected winner, but should have been sent off with continuous mistimed tackles before that. I don’t actually remember seeing...

You mean the stopping of the clock? Not as often as it should. I think it should happen with genuine injuries or anything that’s not time wasting. Like a team player breaks his leg, is down for 10 minutes and needs oxygen. His team are 1-0 up, they’re not going to want 10 extra minutes to deal...

I can see all 3 teams staying up, but Sheff Utd most likely to drop back. Have a feeling this time it will be Palace’s and Brighton’s time up, especially if the former lose Zaha.

None, surely? You stop the clock. Adding time on becomes an advantage for one team and a disadvantage for the other, which is counter productive.

Sounds like a typical National League full back to be honest. I remember that Ekpetita (I’m doing that from memory and I’m sure it’s wrong) against us. He was an absolute liability defensively and was lucky not to get sent off, but I’m sure he would’ve had good games too throughout the season as...

I mean, I don’t think 20 seconds here and there would ruin their match experience, but each to their own.. Believe it or not, but there’s such situations where people can’t get a ticket because of high demand, so this has nothing to do with laziness or apathy. You do support Halifax though, so I...

The problem is people are still looking for a perfect flawless game. This isn’t the point of VAR, it’s not there to make every decision correct, it’s there to try and eradicate the majority of obvious errors made by the referee. I have no idea how VAR is being operated right now, but for me it...

I think that’s the noise I make when I sneeze.

Hey, if Joe Quigley can get a trial with a football league club..

If you’ve had a shit season where you’ve been relegated and then followed that up with a season in a lower league where 1/2 of which was again shit, it’s probably best not to act like the fans discontent is unjustified.

Personally I’d like to see us sign him because it would be amusing to see Red Passion tackle it week in week out. Last season you would’ve sworn we had players such as Beacon and Fonlop playing for us..
