No goals, 5-4-1 at home, dull football - reminds me of Clowning for us last season.

I wonder what will happen to the Radcliffe finances now that they've sadly lost their chairman? Was he financing that big spending?

I don't know whether we were trying to play for set pieces or not, I can't say I noticed really, but playing for set pieces against a team known to be weak against them would be a valid tactic I'd say. If we did in fact do that, then it would show our management to be knowledgeable and...

Rushall are shite. I think what saved them last season was that in the latter part of the season they were able to get 2 or 3 ringers in on loan from Walsall. If they can't do that this season then I suspect they will be doomed. Looking at the table after 9 matches it is already remarkably...

Agreed that the referee was shocking. Booking Leesley in the 2nd minute for a robust tackle. You like to see players given 10 minutes to settle into the match before the ref starts throwing cards around - always a bad sign when he's reaching for his pocket on the first bit of competitiveness as...

Leamington are dull as dishwater, as they always have been. They're absolutely tedious as fuck.

Disappointing 0-0 for Darlo at Marine. Their keeper did keep them in it with a string of good saves but overall not including this match where we were unlucky, I have to say we aren't looking capable of hitting a barn door this season. On the other hand, we're very good defensively and have now...

Honestly, after last season, I'd be over the moon to be challenging seriously for 6th-7th.

Watched the game on stream and I'd agree that the draw was a fair result overall. Only surprise was that neither team scored, it wasn't a tedious 0-0. I disagree that Curzon were ultra defensive today, I just think in the first half we played very well and pegged you back, but once you got a...

Darlo finally get a win against a very poor Leamington. I don't see them finishing outside of the bottom 6 based on that performance. It should have been 3 or 4-0 really but the main thing was getting the 3 points. We'll need to be much much better in front of goal against anyone half decent. We...

Might be something to do with Farsley who have 7 away games in a row due to their new pitch? Maybe the Buxton v Farsley match would otherwise have been the other way around?

Yeah after watching the highlights, my gut feeling about the pen was wrong - ref bottled it. Oh well.

Overall I was a bit disappointed to lose yesterday, but I think Kiddy shaded it on the balance of play so no complaints from me. But we played well enough to be optimistic that we can do well this season - we won't be playing opposition as good as them every week. I'd like to see the Main...

Apparently it was a freak training accident so it's not necessarily linked to previous injury problems.

I disagree. I don't think the quality changes much from season to season either way. The whole "oh the quality is atrocious" is nothing more than a meme and people often conflate how high quality the league is with how many teams play outstanding on the eye football. Tamworth were absolute...

Darlington: Realistic expectation for me is 6th-7th This is based on the fact that Steve Watson is an excellent manager and has already proven to be very shrewd on signings. We've signed arguably the best keeper in the league Pete Jameson, Scott Barrow who made such a difference to our defence...

It's South Shields that we beat 4-0 at their own place. We always lose at Brackley.

Never heard of them.

We smashed them 4-0 on their own turf. They're good but not that good.

Chester and Darlo have recruited well, as have Curzon. Darlo also have a proper manager which is worth several extra points a season, and showed play off form in the 2nd half of last season. If we don't reach the play offs I will be disappointed. Chester should win it.
