Agree, FGR look strong. They have plenty of goals in that squad as well. Of the other frontrunners Gateshead and Barnet have been impressive, whilst under the radar a bit York and Rochdale have started solidly. Eastleigh I'm not sold on despite their good start - I think they'll fade back into...
2-1 defeat to Posh tonight, actually a very watchable game in the end. Good minutes in the tank for Andrews, Dack, Nevitt and Coleman on their journey back to fitness, and youngsters Gbode and Webster both had good games. Nevitt our goalscorer with one of the last actions of the game, a good...
9 changes from us but still a competitive side. Debuts for Ashby-Hammond in goal, Webster at right back and a 2nd debut for Dack as well. First starts of the season for Coleman and Andrews with Nevitt on the bench for the first time is promising in terms of our injury issues - fingers crossed we...
Donny (a) - Defeat
Tranmere (h) - Win
Notts County (a) - Draw
Barrow (h) - Win
Some tricky games there, they'll show us what level we're really competing at this season.
I've got a feeling we'll get our first league defeat of the season at Donny to be honest, they're the team to beat for me. No Ehmer is a worry, he's normally pretty good at handling the experienced, wily forwards in this league and Sharp may be too clever for Ogie and McKenzie on the day, he...
I've literally said this several times :lol: .
Apologies, I forgot you were the only side with new players and an injury list. Bad form from me. You know as well as I do that Naylor isn't a centre back so you can't really use that as an excuse, Dunkley is a decent defender but you don't have a...
I don't disagree to an extent, I appreciate you're missing a few and could improve as the season goes on - although I've previously stated in other threads I think you'll miss a bit of a destroyer in central midfield against the better sides. The sides with better defences will be happy to do...
With the players you currently have, then no, I don't think it'll work as well as you think it will. Not enough up front, nor is your defence good enough.
I'm not sure what's tricky to understand about that.
That was sort of my point, you don't have a plan B when plan A doesn't work. You just try it over and over and in the National League you won a lot of games late through sheer persistence. I don't think that'll work as much a level up. We're more malleable in the sense that we play differently...
Total smash and grab from Hereford at Brackley today. First half was pretty much one way traffic before Hereford opened the scoring very much against the run of play. Brackley equalised just a couple of minutes later to leave it level at the break. Second half was a bit of a dull event but a lot...
Not trying to be arsey at all here, but does that not suggest you're perhaps not quite as good as you think you are in other areas? Lost count of the amount of sides who come down here and have more possession than we do, barely trouble the keeper and go away empty handed. I appreciate you've...
What bit of my post was inaccurate? The way the commentator went on was as if we should've just been grateful to be allowed on the same pitch as you today. Always nice to win with backs to the wall.
Great defensive performance, good win.
Think the most disappointed man will be the Sky commentator who has spent most of the afternoon with his tongue firmly up the arse of various Chesterfield players.
For all the talk of Chesterfield hitting the woodwork 3 times and being the unluckiest side...
Turner out as expected, Morris comes into his position in goal. Back 4 as usual, Little and McKenzie start in midfield again, with returns to the starting line up for Rowe and Lapslie alongside Nolan in the attacking midfield 3. Marcus Wyllie gets his debut up front after some indifferent...
Turner appears to be out injured yes, but Glenn Morris is a more than capable deputy and I'd expect him to start while Turner isn't available. Our youth team option is out on loan himself so we just needed a back up.
In and out of games too much for my liking but he's good on the ball, quick feet and will probably score a few from range. He'll also probably frustrate a fair bit.
