Jalal is a pretty solid keeper at this level - commanding, good shot stopper and decent distribution. The reason he's at this level though is that he loves a clanger four or five times a season - they're usually pretty memorable as well.

Our squad was fairly average last year, with one notable exception, Danny Rowe (who sadly left in January and put paid to any hopes of the play-offs). I would put the remainder into either difficult to replace, replaceable or can definitely do better. Difficult to replace: Ollie Norburn...

York must be favourites for this league. They had a top five conference squad by the end of last season in my opinion, and seem to have kept most of their best players. There is surely no other club with this level of quality in the conference north?

Kingsley James gone to Chester, presumably for the security of a 2 year deal. I quite liked James, thought he worked hard, but he wasn't particularly popular amongst our fans. I think there is an element of JA going for the clear out and trying to re-build here rather than us being desperately...

I agree with this. He's great on his day or even in spells during games, but he's not particularly consistent week in week out. I'm not 100% sure he's promotion quality though, even if he was used in spells. This is the first season in ages where our players are being taken, and I'm not really...

They will all be gone I'd assume. It will be like this every year until we have an adequate owner, who isn't simply waiting for us to go bust. I'm not getting a season ticket for the first time in 16 years, and neither are the people I usually go to games with. I'm not even sure I will bother...

Either 4-5-1 or 4-3-3 usually with two wingers used as the wider players rather than 3 strikers.

Holroyd's an average Conference striker. Quick and skilful but doesn't have a great goalscoring record for his time at Macc. Good luck to him though, he always tries his best and works hard for the team.

Norburn is a decent goal scorer for a midfielder, but he tends to go missing a lot in games - he's a top ten standard player but wouldn't get into the best sides in this league. Hancox is versatile, and puts a lot of effort in. He lacks quality though and as the Boss says, is under contract, so...

He wasn't very good for us - but you are right, we barely saw him!

I hate to disappoint whoever is stealing them, but we don't have any star players. They're all pretty bog standard mid table conference players.

On the pitch, I have no complaints - as you say, we have one of the best away records, and JA does really well on a pathetic budget year after year. What if JA was actually backed by the owner (I'm not talking about being bankrolled to the tune of Eastleigh, FGR etc.), but just given any support...

Someone on our forum said there were around 30 - I'm surprised that many bothered. I used to watch us every home and away game but I'm sick to death with our owner winding us into the ground and I'm really not bothered I didn't go today. I'll be doing Wembley (I feel like I've deserved if after...

I can't believe it - we won a home game for the first time in months!! Maidstone were a decent side to be fair and unlucky that we finally decided to turn up for a home game. Good support from Maidstone on a Tuesday night as well. Our fans seem to have finally woken up to the fact that we're one...

Ihiekwe looked very good against us each time, as did McNulty.

Danny Rowe was absolutely class for us and got himself a well earned move to Ipswich in January. You can tell how good he was by the fact we used the money from his sale on 3 or 4 quality players for this level and we haven't really got any better. He was winning games for us on his own in the...

Yeah, it's pretty poor, but 50 miles is a bit of a con - have you ever been on the roads from Macc to Southport, it's a 2 1/2 to 3 hour round trip in the end.

Another decent win tonight on the road, albeit against a poor team. The contrast between our home form and our away form is astonishing. Home - P19 - W8, D2, L9 - PTS 26 Away - P20 - W11, D4, L5 - PTS 37

119 according to Southport's twitter - not that it matters much!

I'm not sure there were even that many fans there to be honest!
