I wouldn't get too excited about Ben Whitfield until you've actually seen if he's fit or not. As great as he was for us, he disappeared in March with a mysterious injury, came back in a brief spell in the Stockport match and then was injured again. But truly a great asset for this level, very...

Yeah, I think our fanbase assumed we'd be in for Frank Vincent as he had a good loan spell with us. It was in the curtailed pandemic season and he was used in a variety of roles; left-back, left wing, central midfield. He fit well into our quick passing game game, good movement, decent skills...

Agree about Chesterfield having too many players. Also, James Rowe seems a bit of a cock. I can imagine if things don't go immediately well, he will start to unravel. I fancy Dagenham and Redbridge to crack on next season and be a major threat. They already had a team that ought to have...

Exeter might be interested in a young talented goalkeeper by the name of Shaun MacDonald, apparently keen on a move up north, too.

Cameron has been a good servant to us, sad to see him go for that reason, but I think we can probably do better. The fact he's made a sideways move to a divisional rival suggests as much.

Congratulations to Hartlepool. I've had time to reflect and wouldn't want to sour what a great achievement it is for them with bitterness about refereeing decisions or whatnot. Truth is, us Torquay fans probably feel similarly to Notts County fans last week, sometimes you get the decisions...

Great game of football, got me right awake after a ridiculously early start. I do agree that Notts played better football in the majority of the game, and scored two fantastic goals. Plus the penalty, Mark Ellis didn't deserve that. However, I think we looked sharper from the 75th minute, seemed...

Us Torquay fans are always pessimistic about our chances in big matches, but we didn't fluke our league position. We're a strong team even without Ben Whitfield and Danny Wright. And we have a top manager who has a habit of getting results when it matters. I reckon Notts County will have to be...

Danilo Orsi-Dadomo (Maidenhead) Ben House (Eastleigh) Rhys Oates (Hartlepool) To be honest, Oates didn't stand out against us, but I saw a bit of Hartlepool in some BT games and he was a class above. Was debating putting Yeovil's Albi Skendi in, because he very good front against us in a...

Josh Coley (Maidenhead) Jack Earing (FC Halifax Town) Craig Eastmond (Sutton)

On Jack Earing, have a look at him celebrating Halifax's very late equaliser against Notts County back in November here (skip to 1:12). Wait for it, wait for it. He's the number 10 who joins the party late and tries the old skid on the knees and, well, hilarity ensures.

Awkward one this, as a lot of opponents play with high flying wing-backs. I've liked a few, Hartlepool have a couple of good ones in Sterry and Fergusson, Dagenham's Myles Weston stuck out, I think Southam-Hales of Stockport is a wing-back, but played more as out-and-out winger against us. Ditto...

Whenever I've been to Aldershot, it sounds like their fans are proudly singing "Northern Scum, Northern Scum". On topic, and to the fans of Chesterfield and Notts County: There's no point either of you bothering tomorrow, whoever wins will get a good hiding at Plainmoor next weekend, thanks to...

Manny Parry - Maidenhead Louis John - Sutton

Dagenham are the only team we failed to score against, and I am reminded of their impressive rearguard with ten men at Plainmoor earlier in the season, so I guess +1 for Elliot Justham.

You're right that those four are likely competing for the last spot, but there are various feasible ways to get two of them in the play offs at the same time. Part of my calculations take into account the goal difference, which favours Wrexham and Chesterfield to the point where I've brute...

Hi all, New here, but long-time reader. Love seeing the Halifax fans fight each other, the Brotherhood willy waving, and all the banter regarding the league's best player Cal Roberts/Jordan Davies/Simon Denton. To complicate matters further, the league's best player is in fact Connor...
