    2019/20 National League North

    Brackley 2 - 0 Kidderminster. Kiddy the best team I've seen this year - outplayed us totally in the first half, when we were poor - although it was a more even second half. Brackley keeper made 5 or 6 decent saves (when at home he rarely touches the ball) & Kiddy hit the bar. Result a...

    2019/20 National League North

    They've got H&A vs BPA over Christmas - might get them back on track. Certainly their next 3 fixtures look much easier than King's Lynn's. Our loanee from York (Wes York) has gone - presume recalled? Seemed an odd one to loan a player (who was in our 1st 11) to a somewhat distant (but...

    2019/20 National League North

    Do we have to take King's Lynn seriously as a possible title side now? Or are they like Bradford PA last year, who I'm pretty sure were top around Christmas (or was that the year before?) - a solid side who are overachieving?

    2019/20 National League North

    A much more 2 sided game than the Brackley - Darlington score reflects. Darlington moved the ball well. We played no better than against Chester or Spennymoor, just everything dropped right for us, and in a rare as hen's teeth phenomenon, we took our chances. A good crowd to welcome the new...

    2019/20 National League North

    Darlington's keeper had a complete mare in the FA Cup - both goals his fault. Hope he keeps up that form on Saturday - Brackley have scored 1 goal in 4 games, so we need all the help we can get...

    TBF my reply was to Railway Blue's comment that 'I'll take his (Chester fan's) opinion over yours' which is of course his prerogative, but seems a little shallow to believe that one human being's viewpoint has greater validity simply because of the football team they support is the same as your...

    2019/20 National League North

    York out of sight for me. How many times is Kev going to say 'we need to start taking our chances' in post match interviews? Key for me is that Jimmy Armson blows hot and cold, and Lee Ndlovu for all his strengths, isn't a finisher. Given our goals tally relies on these, I'm just not...

    Well clearly as he is a Chester fan his opinion must be better than mine... Not convinced my previous posts would suggest a provenance of partisanship? I'll leave to the reader to make up their own mind - Chester's own match report reads: 'After being forced into a change at the break, with...

    '...we were more in the ascendancy pushing for the winner particularly in the second half'. Think I must of been at a different game! There wasn't a lot in it I'll grant, but we has 4 or 5 good chances and goalmouth scrambles and Chester keeper got very lucky with a deflection that just hit...

    Thanks for noticing either of us... No idea, game seems on to me. Unless maybe our 'walking football' team have pre-booked the pitch.

    2019/20 National League North

    You may not quite have won the league yet, but having, over the past 7 seasons, watched the likes of Chester, Solihull or Salford when they were just a level above everyone else in squad & set up, and with no other obvious challengers, I think you should be immensely confident about enjoying the...

    I find your suggestion here really offensive. Please do not in any way shape or form blame teachers for how B2TF turned out. They get enough unfair abuse as it is. I'd suggest you look to loneliness, frustration and a very small life as the more likely causes for his descent into 'keyboard...

    2019/20 FA Cup

    I can't really see how you could conceive it was a 'poor Brackley against the odds' post from what I actually wrote. Clearly it was a post frustrated that for the last few years we can't convert good players performances into just a little more that might get us over the line in terms of...

    2019/20 FA Cup

    Well, I'll certainly be happy to take advice from a Darlington fan about how to run a successful club... Wasn't trying to play any sort of 'card', but whatever the budget it ain't enough to get sufficient players to fill the bench... and when you're competing versus bigger squads, some with...

    2019/20 FA Cup

    Story of our last few seasons - move the ball well, create chances, rarely outplayed in any game... but don't take our chances and lack the mentality / methodology to win close games. That's why we keep ending up in the league playoffs and then losing. Can't see us going up this year or anytime...

    2019/20 National League North

    Seems odd to me. York happy to lend him to us when we must be seen as a (somewhat distant) rival. We're taking a player not able to get in the first team of that rival - lack of ambition? And our midfield is very settled - so not sure where he fits in, except for numbers as squad is paper...
