Solihull Moors
We've signed Matt Stenson- any good?:dk:
Has been at the Moors for the past two seasons but was at Telford for what there was of the second half of last season.

I really rate him and would never have got rid of him - he’s got a lot of pace, gets past players and has a shot on him. He reminds me a bit of Vardy. He was never given a fair chance by Moors but did score some really good goals for us. Would like to see him prove Moors wrong this season.

Likewise I thought Dover, Maidenhead and Sutton were hybrids? I had it as Alty, King's Lynn, ourselves, Weymouth and Woking as the traditional part time clubs in the league this season.

Our management team have made a big deal on moving training from Tuesday nights to Monday nights to aid with recovery and setup tactics for the Tuesday night fixtures. They highlighted that Woking would have finished 2nd last season just off Saturday fixtures but midweek fixtures were what dragged them down (haven't factchecked).

Chipmunx-esque that.

How many teams will be part-time next season in NL?
We're doubling down on full time- players now in 4 times a week, got a fitness coach in 2 days a week instead of once a month. This years squad is 100% Pete Wild's, a couple of key players from last season have left or are listed, but the one's he's brought in have mostly been better. Got a good mix of old heads, young guns and steady Conference and League footballers. Expect to finish higher than last year...... :woot:

I think your list is accurate. Maidenhead went hybrid last season. Not that it did us much good, mind.

We've now reduced to 3 mornings a week I think, partly because of all the midweek games.
We are also training at Crabble currently

At least you have a larger local group of people to pick from now.

Our Chairman has joined the board of the National League which at least means he's planning to stick around for a bit. I expect Weymuff to be hit with a 20 point deduction forthwith.

Wealdstone, Dover, Woking, Maidenhead, Weymouth, Kings Lynn (?), Alty, Bromley(?), Sutton Utd. I think that’s it.

We (KL) are part-time, at least in name and have increased training from two to three nights a week. Have gone with a much bigger squad than previously under Culverhouse but he has kept a good few who were with us two years ago at step 3 (plus King has returned from Halifax) so will be interesting how many of them can make another step up, how the new lads integrate and whether the club (players and fans) can adjust to what is likely to be a less successful season in terms of results than we have seen for a while at the Walks.

As it stands Pools are very poor value at 12s.

We’re lacking numbers and quality in key areas and it’s apparent the budget is low. We’re a mess off the field as well, club is virtually shutdown, no sponsors at all.

I’d say our odds are about right. I’d expect us to be about midtable, pushing for the playoffs. Core of the squad together. Just missing one or two key players and a couple of squad players then we should be good to go

Garbage really, think us and Yeovil are way too high up that list, I think they just put the Brothers at the top then pull the rest out raffle style, I'd stick us somewhere between Halifax 2008 and Aldershot, we've signed mostly unproven/young players, top half with a playoff push, much like last season, the only positive we have going for us is we have a proper manager for a change.

Hard to find value in those odds at all, Stockport rightfully favs, Notts not far behind, Wrexham maybe? Seemingly signed well so far with more to come? Though Keates ain't exactly popular, or certainly wasn't, Boreham Wood have also signed well and look pretty good at 16/1

Surprised Stockport are shorter odds than us and I can’t see what Hartlepool are doing as fourth favourites.

I think Bromley are quite good value at 33/1, i know they completely fell apart last season but they were right up there for much of it and Trotter/Alabi look like half decent signings.

We're about spot on as 3rd favourites, we'll be pushing to finish higher than last season.

Don't take notice of bookies odds.

I've sent that above list through the Excel document and they seem way out to be honest.

Notts County are big favourites.

I’m pretty sure Stockport, Notts, Boreham Wood will all challenge. Except for them it’s anyone’s guess really. I’d expect Dagenham to have a better season and Kong’s Lynn might surprise a few. Wrexham look a bit better on paper but do they have the right manager? Dunno what Chesterfield are doing.

Value wise not much going really. Probably the 16s for Brexit Wood might be worth a tenner.

Not a lot, our first PSF is tomorrow so will see how we look but it's been quiet, if not underwhelming
