Made very heavy weather of getting past Rushall, but we got there and now this good run has got us up to second lurking just behind Scunthorpe.
Attack v Defence training session basically, they put 11 men behind the ball from the off, got one sent off and then retreated even further if that was...
Could be a record low attendance for the level at that.
Horsfall no longer passes the grade for NLN despite it doing so just over a year ago when BPA were in this division. Lack of press/director seats and poor barriers around running track.
I heard Bentley after your game with Chorley and he was quite scathing of the defending of balls in to the box. I’m only looking in from a far distance but surprised you got rid of Anson.
Yeah, crazy how we didn't put another 3 or 4 goals in, the one that hit both posts and rolled across the line defied belief. South Shields weren't bad to be fair but missed Blackett, did ok in the first half but we tore in to them after the break.
Loads of good performances, love how...
Disappointing crowd for us that, but was a reversed fixture on police request so we clashed with the races, of which there was a big 20k+ crowd with a concert on afterwards. Also pretty much no away fans at all.
Good win and response from the first two games. On to Kiddy, bit of a goalie...
Couldn't quite get the job done today but not a bad point at Alfreton. We're starting to look better now.
Willoughby off the mark with a curled effort from range and Caton with his second this week.
I don't think Brackley took control, their whole game was to lob long throws in to the box. Tactically we were hopeless though, did have the chances to win the game but didn't deserve to. Disjointed and disagree with most of the decisions he is making at the moment.
Terrible look to duck out...
Amusingly bad. At this stage though can laugh it off, wouldn't if it was deeper in to the season.
I also like how the FA have decided to just randomly retrospectively ban Declan Weeks now for swearing at a ref back in February. Not just coming in to effect now, literally only just told us...
Couple of reminders for the season ahead:
- Name and make 5 subs, no blocks, all on individual occasions if you wish. (NL only is name 7 make 5)
- Introduction of Fourth Officials.
Can't wait for teams 1 up with 5 minutes left to make 5 individual subs. :rolleyes:
We’ve been a notoriously small side for a few seasons now and thankfully Calum seems to have finally acknowledged that it’s held us back. Rawlinson and Bainbridge in particular are two big lads. Then there's Burke, Williams & Pollock as well. Not from open play but from set pieces signs are that...
Plus Willoughby back now. Kiddy were after him, I don't know how close that got but the rumour mill was rife in the Douglas pubs at the weekend where we were mixing with club staff and players that he was coming back.
We're in the Isle of Man, 250-300 of us over here. Beat them 5-2 tonight. Early days and only pre-season but like the look of Jordan Hunter and Dan Turner, both look really good.
Agree, don’t need to spend anywhere near the amount they are to get out of that league. Can’t see who is going to challenge them next season, maybe Worksop and Guiseley as an early guess.
Would be better off saving as much money as they can for the bigger challenges down the line, they’re...
