Thought that looked familiar, "i've definitely taken a leak there" was my initial thought and turns out I was right.

Declan Towers re-signed

 

UTP!

Poor today. Not sure what has happened to the attempted passing build up play which was prominent in the first half of the season. Just total hoof ball. 

 

Bromsgrove's no.9 was an unbelievable player.

“The wheels have come off” is now an acceptable turn of phrase. 
 

None of the players seemed to know where tf they were meant to be on the pitch, the midfield is completely absent (again) when defending, and playing Nile with Edwards as a front two has never worked. 
 

On top of which, Pennant has looked absolute gash in every game since signing - wtf is he even doing at the club?

 

All told, I’m starting to get a bit narked with Lavs. Especially as he dug the fans out prematch in the room upstairs at the clubhouse. It’s our fault, apparently.

Harborough should have made that 7 straight wins today, missed chances, a penalty skied out the ground and a 92nd minute winner for Stourbridge when they slotted home following a good save from our keeper, which I think was his first of the game. That’s football.

No-one wants to win that league, 3 points between top 5.  With only 1 team in the top 6 winning.  Strange league.

[Durnerz]

Good point today for Shepshed Dynamo away at Darlaston Town. Tremendous Bovril too.

It’s just bizarre how every team looking like commanding the league suddenly goes wank.

Highly entertaining game at Brackley today wining 4-1 against Spennymoor.

 

Over 800 in was another very healthy crowd and it’s Kidderminster on Tuesday for what will be a real tough game at the top of the table.

 

Brackley are a very well run club with a well drilled team.  It’s always a tight league but they’re really punching above their weight in the NLN.

 

I just read the ridiculous distances people are travelling to watch LCFC and it makes me so happy to be enjoying local football over PL now

Good to see Kettering continuing their recent run of not playing games.

 

At this rate you'll get to experience the delights of the Saturday, Tuesday Thursday weeks

I’ve always contended that seasons should run over more than just two years. I think this one should be played out while we also compete in the National League N/S.

The heaviest fighting of the past two weeks
Continued today twenty-five miles northwest of Congleton

I really wasn't sure what was going on

N-n-n-n-nineteen, nineteen

Basically it was the poxy National League Cup v Wolves U21s. 

 

A bit like the Paint Pot/Bristol St Motors. You have to field so many first teamers to 'protect the integrity of the compeition'. So teams just do this - play first teamers for twenty minutes and sub them off.

Coalville have re-signed Scott Mcmanus.

I presume players at that level don't get paid? Good on him if that's the case.

Oh yeah players certainly get paid at this level. I heard we wanted to sign a player and he asked for £180 a game

 

[emmo1987]

Crikey. Whats the turnover of players like this season? Every time I see the team announced there is new players starting!?

It is a little more than we would've hoped for, but also not an unrealistic amount given where we started from.

 

Having Scott back is a massive plus.

Oh nice! Yep was always going to be a long process wasn't it! basically starting from scratch! Yeh Scott will be a very good acquisition (again!) Need to get back down at some point was a regular 10 or so years ago

As far as the squad goes we did start from scratch.

 

Come down on Tuesday. We're playing Clifton All Whites at home.

If we stay up do you think things will improve next season?

Blimey with all due respect to Coalville, good sized club wonder why hes dropped that low league level. Hes only like 34 still capable of southern league level.

I have no doubt we’ll stay up, and yes, we will be looking to be far more competitive next season.
