Andy cook
Eddie clarke
James alabi
Andy cook
Richie Sutton

Goalscoring: we have scored in every game since mid November

Left back... best left back has been in the bench most of the season

First thirteen games 2/10 last 33 10/10

Ashmore or fitzpatrick.

TEAM: ashmore, woodards mcnulty astle fitzpatrick, wedgebury whitiker andrade durrell, rowe cook .

After wrexham home we had the take 7th if it was offered now conversation to which we all said yes.... we were 19th i think at the time. Allegedly at that point mellon offered his resignation unless palios butted out of team affairs. Alabi was dropped for cook and shipped out dunn consigned to the reserves and a complacent hughes dropped . Last 2/3 of the season we have been strong although we are weak at left back and in goal with scotty making mistakes throughout 2018 the most important being the 3 at fylde and the 2 at home to macc.... he made another yesterday should have punched rather then tried to catch the cross that led to pools goal.... as for play offs its 50/50 we can beat anyone at home however mcnulty looked hopelessly exposed at wembley last year

 

[Soup Ladle]

Your personal player of the season: Scott Loach, been through a dodgy spell but has looked better again recently.
Your teams best prospect: Josh Hawkes who's now finally getting a game. Midfielder, good on the ball with an eye for goal.
Biggest Flop: Where do we start? Ryan Donaldson, Jack Munns, Louis Laing, Blair Adams, Connor Newton, and more. Probably Donaldson. Arrived with a big rep and has spent most of the season injured but when played has looked crap.
Top Scorer: Michael Woods
Most Improved: Errrr..
Team strength: Errrr
Team Weakness: Defence, midfield, up front
Season Rating out of 10: 2/10
Manager rating out of 10: I'd give Bates 6/10, not sure I want him around next season but I'd take him over Lee Clark, Martin Gray and the others scarily linked with the role. Harrison, well, I can't waste my time on that.
If you could sign one player from another team in this league who would it be? Shaun Pearson from Wrexham. Our team is crying out for leadership and experience at the back.
Your team of the season.(players from any national league team)

Don't know enough about the other players to make up a team.

Any others comments:

Can I say hi to me mam?

 

[Mark kavanagh]

Hello mrs soup ladle

 

[Tranmerewhite]

Your personal player of the season:
Andy Cook
Your teams best prospect:
Eddie Clarke - faded later in the season but a real prospect at left back.
Biggest Flop:
James Alabi - willing to pay for train ticket to Ebbsfleet.
Top Scorer:
Andy Cook
Most Improved:
Andy Cook - far fitter and a better all round player than last season.
Team strength:
Goals
Team Weakness:
Injuries.
Season Rating out of 10:
Either 6 or 8 depending on playoffs.
Manager rating out of 10:
As above.
If you could sign one player from another team in this league who would it be?
Tommy Wright. Probably one of the only ones that might get into our 11 when he’s on form, which is an indictmant of how much our players underperformed at the start of the season.

I don’t think team of the year is applicable. On paper it’d be majority Tranmere, however some clubs like Macclesfield, Sutton etc have performed well overall as a unit rather than individually.

 

[Fyldefan]

Your personal player of the season: Lewis Montrose
Your teams best prospect: Tasdemir
Biggest Flop:
Top Scorer: Danny Rowe
Most Improved: Tas, 17 years old, played plenty of games, scored a few. Quick and tricky player. No chance we keep hold of him
Team strength: Attacking
Team Weakness: Defending
Season Rating out of 10: 9, been a great season. if only we'd of won more than 2 of our first 12 games
Manager rating out of 10: 9, would of been 10 but the past few weeks he's been picking hardy over muldoon and realises 60 minutes in he's made a mistake. He better start Muldoon in the playoffs
If you could sign one player from another team in this league who would it be? Dave Tarpey is the best player ive seen outside of the football league but as he's moved on id go with Durrel or McNulty. We're desperate for someone like McNulty
Your team of the season.(players from any national league team) I don't pay enough attention to opposition players but McNulty, Andrade, Durell and Macclesfields left back would be in it

Comments: Its been a great debut season for us. The loan signings have been excellent but at the same time will leave us with some big holes to fill for next season. Lewis Montrose, Sam Finley and Danny Rowe have been superb. We've struggled a bit defensively but i said the exact same thing last season. Its just the way we play. Highlights, beating Tranmere 5-2. Beating the champions 6 nil and Aldershot 7-1

 

[The Terminator]

Your personal player of the season: MaCauley Bonne
Your teams best prospect: Dan Happe (Centre Back)
Biggest Flop: Jamie Sendles-White
Top Scorer: MaCauley Bonne - 22 League goals, 25 in total.
Most Improved: Not our player, but Loanee Ebou Adams improved every game he played.
Team strength: Scoring from set plays
Team Weakness: Tuesday night home games.
Season Rating out of 10: 6/10 - After a very, very worrying 3 months.
Manager rating out of 10: Steve Davis - 3/10 - Justin Edinburgh - 8/10
If you could sign one player from another team in this league who would it be? Danny Rowe
Your team of the season.(players from any national league team)

Mitch Walker (Dover)

Kane Smith (Boreham Wood)
Ritchie Sutton (Tranmere)
Shaun Pearson (Wrexham)
Cheye Alexander (Aldershot)

Elliott Durrell (Macclesfield)
Josh Rees (Bromley)
Danny Whittaker (Macclesfield)
Bruno Andrade (Boreham Wood)

Danny Rowe (Fylde)
MacCauley Bonne (Orient)/Andy Cook (Tranmere)

I've selected those players from what I've seen live and on the highlights shows and live games I've seen.

 

[RLC]

Your personal player of the season: Andy Cook. I actually voted for Ritchie Sutton a few weeks ago in our poll, but Cook has been superb since the turn of the year.
Your teams best prospect: Eddie Clarke. Very promising attacking left back who reminds me of the young Ian Nolan. Out of favour at the moment but could fill in for Connor Jennings in the play-offs.
Biggest Flop: James Alabi, although you could add virtually all of our summer signings to the list, bar Buxton and Norburn.
Top Scorer: Andy Cook.
Most Improved: Probably Andy Cook. Mellon has really got stuck into him this season and improved his game outside the box. It was still daft to drop him for Alabi though.
Team strength: Goal threat.
Team Weakness: Lack of mobility at the back (Clarke excepted) which could cause us problems if we come up against Fylde or B-Wood in the play-offs.
Season Rating out of 10: 8, regardless of play-off outcome.
Manager rating out of 10: 8. Mellon has been a breath of fresh air since he came back to the club. We win virtually every home game, score goals, the football is decent to watch and he has got a great rapport with the fans.
If you could sign one player from another team in this league who would it be? Elliot Durrell, as our wingers are either injured or underperform.
Your team of the season.(players from any national league team)
Clarke (Tranmere), Pilkington (Macc), McNulty (Tranmere), Buxton (Tranmere), Whittaker (Macc), Whitehead (Macc), Durrell (Macc), Wright (Sutton), Cook (Tranmere), Rowe (Fylde). No keeper as none of them have impressed me this season.

 

[Chief Rocka]

I imagine mine will be very similar to Soup's list but whatever..

Your personal player of the season: Scott Loach by a long distance.
Your teams best prospect: Josh Hawkes, hope they keep his feet on the ground after he burst into the team and has been linked with Leeds, Sunderland, Boro.
Biggest Flop: Too many to mention, I'd probably go with Donaldson also, just never looks arsed.
Top Scorer: Woods, be first out the door in the summer.
Most Improved: We've been consistently shite this season, probably Blair Adams, but that's only because he was horrendous at the start.
Team strength: N/A
Team Weakness: We've been poor all over the pitch but the clowns across the back four take the biscuit, some serious comedy defending from us this year.
Season Rating out of 10: 3/10
Manager rating out of 10: Craig Harrison 2/10 - Totally out of his depth, Matty Bates 6/10 - He somehow managed to get a team of losers to win some games and keep us in the league, saying that he also has been in charge of some pathetic performances.
If you could sign one player from another team in this league who would it be? Luke James from Barra/Forest Green, his scoring record before he joined them was pish, he seems to of found his feet and would love to have him in a Pools shirt alongside Cassidy next season.
Your team of the season.(players from any national league team) Apart from the obvious decent strikers in this division, I can't say anyone else has really stood out to me.

 

[Monkey Tennis]

If you could sign one player from another team in this league who would it be? Luke James from Barra/Forest Green, his scoring record before he joined them was pish, he seems to of found his feet and would love to have him in a Pools shirt alongside Cassidy next season.

He's been a fantastic signing. Joined in late January (I think) and it says everything that he walked away with our Player of the Season award. I'd say he's the most exciting player we've had in the past 10 years, and his all-round game is brilliant. Too good for Conference though.

 

[doveranddover]

Your personal player of the season: Probably Giancarlo Gallifuoco, but no-one's really stood out
Your teams best prospect: Maybe Ejiro Okosieme, but he's rarely been seen
Biggest Flop: Kane Richards - wasn't expecting that much from him tbh
Top Scorer: Ryan BirdMost Improved:Mitch Pinnock, only because he was 1 of 3 players left, but he faded badly in the last 10 games.
Team strength: Team spirit it seems
Team Weakness: Keeper can't command his area. Centre backs who can't pass. Midfielders who can't play a through ball. Forward without mobility - Bird
Season Rating out of 10 :9/10 could hardly have expected to be that high with another Kinnear bargain basement squad
Manager rating out of 10: 5/10 his inflexible tactics are difficult to stomach. He has got us to 8th, 5th, 6th and 8th since promotion though
If you could sign one player from another team in this league who would it be? Probably Danny Rowe, but a midfielder who can pass would be nice - the young lad at Macclesfield? Whittaker
Your team of the season.(players from any national league team)
The one's who stood out in my limited games seen
Wright (Sutton)
Rowe (Fylde)
Buxton (Tranmere)
Kilman (Maidenhead)
Tasdemir (Fylde)

 

[BarraMatt]

Your personal player of the season: Luke James, without his goals we’d have been down weeks ago.

Your teams best prospect: Lewis Walters, on loan from Forest.

Biggest Flop: Take your pick, Jordan White, Grant Holt, Asa Hall.

Top Scorer: Luke James with about 7 I think.

Most Improved: Donovan Makoma

Team strength: Midfield, probably.

Team Weakness: Scoring goals.

Season Rating out of 10: 3

Manager rating out of 10: Cox 2/10, Moore 2/10, Pennock 8/10. Ady’s done well to keep the poor squad he inherited up, getting rid of players that clearly didn’t want to be here even though they were big names from the previous season and relying mainly on loans. 95% of the fans want him to remain next season to see what he can do with a squad he’s assembled himself.

If you could sign one player from another team in this league who would it be? Cooky

Your team of the season.(players from any national league team) Don’t know enough.

 

[MTFC_07]

Your personal player of the season: Danny Whitaker
Your teams best prospect: We don't have many really young players, but I still think Danny Whitehead could play at a much higher level in the future.
Biggest Flop: No-one who regularly played was a flop, but a lot of people were very excited to see us sign Koby Arthur, and he never really did anything of note.
Top Scorer: Scott Wilson
Most Improved: Tyrone Marsh
Team strength: Togetherness
Team Weakness: Finishing
Season Rating out of 10: 10, doesn't get much better
Manager rating out of 10: 10
If you could sign one player from another team in this league who would it be? Bruno Andrade. Him and Durrell on either wing would be great.
Your team of the season.(players from any national league team)
GK - Mitch Walker (Dover)
DF - Fitzpatrick (Macc)
DF - McNulty (Tranmere)
DF - Lowe (Macc)
DF - Hodgkiss (Macc)
MF - Andrade (Boreham Wood)
MF - Whitehead (Macc)
MF - Whitaker (Macc)
MF - Durrell (Macc)
ST - Rowe (Fylde)
ST - Cook (Tranmere)

There's probably a couple too many Macc but I don't quite know enough about other team's players!

Comments: Incredible to win the league given our situation in the summer - I just hope JA stays so we can keep lots of the players and try to build on this in League Two.

 

[fifaking]

Your personal player of the season: Manny Smith. A toss up between Manny and Pearson, pretty much the sole reasons why we were able to stay up towards the top (until our collapse) given our lack of goals.
Your teams best prospect: Nobody really, all our best players are already well known and established. I don't think we have many younger players that look any good (don't really keep tabs on the youth squad)
Biggest Flop: Over the course of the season probably Marcus Kelly, he was expected to be the player making things happen but apart from flashes here and there has not shown enough. Disappointed with the lack of impact Deverdics and Franks made a well after joining from Pools, Deverdics especially after all his assists at Dover.
Top Scorer: Holroyd?
Most Improved: Completely revamped squad from last season - N/A
Team strength: Up until Keates left, the solid defence.
Team Weakness: Our inability to build on leads, there's a stat of 20+ points or something silly that we dropped from winning positions. Backed up by our 49 goals in 46 league games, just about says it all.
Season Rating out of 10: 6. After last season most Wrexham fans would have said they'd be happy to see us competing for play-offs, which we did.. but most will now focus on the way the season ended.
Manager rating out of 10: Keates 8 - couldn't ask for much more really. Davies 3 - hindsight is a wonderful thing, we opted for the continuity most wated. Just didn't work out.
If you could sign one player from another team in this league who would it be? I would say Andy Cook, but as we already signed him last season.. Bruno Andrade has impressed me every time I've watched Boreham Wood.
Your team of the season.(players from any national league team): Hate doing these - the whole Macc team?


Any others comments: Not sure what other Wrexham fans think, but I am heartbroken the way the season unfolded; for me it hurts more than the Newport PO final loss or the 98-point season. We had a young and hungry manager in place who had performed minor miracles to have us competing towards the top after our disastrous 16/17 season thanks to Mills. The team we had in Keates' first game as caretaker (Away at Stamford in the FA Cup which we drew...) vs what he left us with was light-years difference. Only for Keates to then head to Walsall out of nowhere with just a dozen or so games left, and then we completely collapse when we probably just needed a couple more wins. It just feels like we've completely wasted two years and are yet again back to another rebuilding job, now facing an 11th or 12th season down here? (I've stopped counting now) with no idea who will be in charge or which of the players will still be here. I am prepared for a completely underwhelming appointment.

Without baiting or whatever, blaming the departure of Keates is too “easy” an explanation for your lot.

You cant edge out 30 wins when you only average 1 goal a game, even if you dominate games you’ll always come unstuck to a header from a corner or long ball over the top.

I suspect you played like that due to the limitations of your team in not having a goal scorer or wingers, which have to be the first positions you look at in the summer.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

It's been great to see Luke getting on so well at Barrow, always thought he had it in him when I've seen him for us but somehow just didn't seem to happen. Be interested to see if Cooper wants to keep him over the summer. Also no surprise Wedge has impressed at Wrexham.

Whats his situation at Forest Green? Under contract for next season?

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Whats his situation at Forest Green? Under contract for next season?

I think so but I'd have to check. ETA Yep, signed until end of next season.

 

[Boz]

Your personal player of the season: Adam Buxton. Close call with Andy Cook, but his all-round contribution edges it.
Your teams best prospect: Eddie Clarke, young left-back came in and did well but frozen out in recent weeks.
Biggest Flop: Whoever was responsible for the new recruits in the summer. Jack Dunn the biggest disappointment. Only Norburn who was adequate has had significant first team opportunity
Top Scorer: Andy Cook
Most Improved: Andy Cook. Even the unimproved version was better than Alabi.
Team strength: Create a number of chances, which when the forwards are in form mostly get converted
Team Weakness: Never really addressed the lack of pace at the back when Ihiekwe and Lee Vaughan left.
Season Rating out of 10: 7. Would go up a notch or so if we win the play-offs.
Manager rating out of 10: 7. Has us playing decent football and is mostly on the fans wavelength. Wasn't impressed about his freezing out of Cook early on and he's been too keen to play dross like McEveley instead of capable youngsters like Gumbs.
If you could sign one player from another team in this league who would it be? Durrell or Andrade
Your team of the season.(players from any national league team)
GK Lynch (Chester)
DEF Buxton (TRFC)
DEF Smith (Wrecsam)
DEF Pearson (Wrecsam)
DEF Fitzpatrick (Macc)
MID Andrade (Boreham Wood)
MID Matthews (Eastleigh)
MID Rees (Bromley)
MID Durrell (Macc)
ATT Cook (TRFC)
ATT Rowe (Fylde)

I haven't seen Sutton live this season and they seem very much of a team effort with different players shining each week. Both Shots and Fleet had disappointing games at PP, no individual stands out from those games. I don't want to seem disrespectful as their sides have made the play-offs.
Although I've not included him, Ollie Banks who we loaned from Oldham for about 6 weeks is one of the best midfielders I've seen this season.

 

[#Beebot]

Your personal player of the season: Harry Pritchard - stepped up following the departure of Tarpey and scored some great goals. After Tarpey left we spent the whole of the rest of the season without a forward good enough for this level, and we'd have been in big trouble if he hadn't provided goals from midfield. Looks like he will move on though, most likely to Aldershot.

Your teams best prospect: Max Kilman - 20 year old left back who can also fill in on the wing. Composed, strong and a good decision maker.

Biggest Flop: Moses Emmanuel - after months without a recognised striker he was an important loan signing on paper, but proved to be no better than the winger and centre mid we were playing out of position up front. Constantly offside and too often in the pocket of defenders.

Top Scorer: Harry Pritchard (14 league, 2 Trophy)

Most Improved: Ryan Upward - not a guaranteed starter last year but really stepped up this year with 6 goals from midfield in the league. He's always been an okay defensive mid but has got forward a lot more this season and scored some vital goals.

Team strength: Workrate, fitness and organisation. Small, tight-knit squad who all know exactly what their roles are and all pull in the same direction. Much of the squad had never played at this level before but the starting XI was not significantly changed from our NL South win and it proved to be a decent call.

Team Weakness: Biggest is lack of firepower up front after Tarpey left. He scored 7 in 6 in August and nobody new was brought in until Emmanuel a few months later, who proved to be inadequate. Ignoring the goals from Pritchard on the wing, it took Adrian Clifton until April to match that tally. We need a 15 goal a season striker (minimum) for next year, especially with Pritchard likely to leave.

Being part-time there were also a few games where we simply didn't have the fitness to compete. 10-1 loss to Gateshead over two games plus an awful 4-0 loss at Torquay where the coach turned up 20 minutes before kick off were lowlights.

Season Rating out of 10: 8/10, I'd be shocked if we didn't have a bottom 4 budget and I think most fans would have been happy for us to finish 20th, so to finish in the top half was fantastic.

Manager rating out of 10: 8/10, Devonshire knows how to make a team worth more than the sum of its parts having done it for several years at this level with Braintree. Once the season started we largely ignored the transfer and loan market. I feel like we could have made better use of it but Devonshire likes a tight-knit squad and everything worked out fine in the end. It will be interesting to see if we lose a few more of our better players in the summer beyond Pritchard who I'm already resigned to losing, and what kind of signings Devonshire will make now that we are playing 451 going forward, having ditched 442 which was largely ineffective from Christmas time onwards.

If you could sign one player from another team in this league who would it be? Danny Rowe

 

[EnglishRed]

Your personal player of the season: Shaun Pearson. A rock
Your teams best prospect: We haven't really used youth players this season. Akil Wright has potential.
Biggest Flop: James Hurst just pips Deverdics due to the way his Wrexham career imploded. Deverdics is just disappointing. Particularly as I know he's been decent elsewhere. Boden and Mackreth aren't far behind.
Top Scorer: Holroyd. Although it feels like he hasn't scored in about 9 months.
Most Improved: Rutherford
Team strength: For most of the season. The back 4.
Team Weakness: Scoring goals.
Season Rating out of 10: 6. Was going so well till Keates went. I didn't even mind the boring brand of football when we were winning. Inability to score and too many draws ultimately killed us. Oh and losing loads of games at the end.
Manager rating out of 10: Keates 7 Davies 1
If you could sign one player from another team in this league who would it be? We already signed Andy Cook in the summer. Danny Rowe or Bruno Andrade

Haven't been paying enough attention to pick a team of the year

 

[JaredSUFC]

Your personal player of the season: Hard to pick one individual but I'd go for Jamie Collins. A proper leader on the field, reads the game well and gives hope to pie lovers everywhere
Your teams best prospect: Tommy Wright
Biggest Flop: The same as Maidenhead, Moses Emmanuel. Came in with a decent reputation, never looked up to what we needed and shipped off on loan
Top Scorer: Tommy Wright
Most Improved: Over the course of the season Jamie Butler. Came in as emergency cover as our 1st choice 'keeper Ross Worner had damaged his ACL. Looked better with every passing week. Still to repay us with a goal.
Team strength: Teamwork and the ability to keep on going until full-time. The number of late goals scored was crazy
Team Weakness: Being part-time
Season Rating out of 10: 9. Getting to the playoffs and finishing the highest the club ever has in the pyramid is a superb achievement.
Manager rating out of 10: 10. To go from where we were 10 years ago to where we are today is nothing short of miraculous. We've gone from finishing bottom of the Conference South with 24 points and falling into the abyss that is the Isthmian League to challenging for promotion to the Football League. Paul Doswell had transformed my Football club for the better and stronger and he doesn't get paid
If you could sign one player from another team in this league who would it be? Any out and out goal scorer. And Ritchie Sutton because of the name
Your team of the season.(players from any national league team) I'm one of those who doesn't really pay attention to other teams


Any others comments:
Up the U's

 

[Pliny Harris]

Your personal player of the season: Might well be Matty Brown after all that. Dedicated member of the defence.
Your teams best prospect: Sammy Johnson, huge keeper with great reflexes.
Biggest flop: Martin Riley. I think he was player of the season at Wrecsam before joining us. Got injured two games in and spent the rest of the season tweeting right-wing nonsense with no interest in coming back to play because his main job was going well enough. Spanner.
Top scorer: I think Matty Kosylo was our top scorer in the end, and those goals of his generally came with a lot of bottle and won us points. If the defence isn't prepared to do their job then he'll stroll through them.
Most improved: Right back Cliff Moyo deserves some praise. He's the chief boo-boy of our team as his play somehow sticks out (he's black), but the effort levels in his play have turned him into a rapid player with better judgment and discipline in his convictions, rewarded by a call-up to the Zimbabwean national team.
Team strength: Morale and effort have been evident all season long, nearly as much as I've ever seen it, despite all the poor results and negativity from elsewhere. It was worrying that we'd lose it with a managerial sacking and I thought we might've after straight poor games against Guiseleeds, Flyde and Solihoof, but we've acquitted ourselves well.
Team weakness: We're bottom of the fair play league due to all our bookings, though there were very few if any truly shithouse tackles amongst them. I still think we've been typecast as thuggish northerners. Then for the first half of the season our defence would be hurtling back as the opposition broke a few times a game, for which keeper Johnson has saved us. Billy Heath showed his worth early on, but perhaps in part due to the extreme negativity towards him and the bookings his tactics became amateurishly petty towards the end: his final game against Leyton Orient showed us refusing to put in tackles so they ran right through us. We had a pygmy midfield that was as flat as a Woking pint when wingers weren't playing up until Michael Collins got signed. Then our forward line hasn't been too productive: we've persisted all season with Ben Tomlinson who's forced as many own goals as he's scored of his own, despite his efforts.
Season rating out of 10: 5/10. We stayed up and briefly being contenders in September was rather nice. The toxicity in the crowd has been disgusting at times though and for large parts of 2018 I've been looking forward to pre-season.
Manager rating out of 10: Heath showed some promise before being destroyed from all sides. 5/10. Fullarton came in, took the form up a notch and signed some professionals. More of him to come maybe? 6/10.
If you could sign one player from another team in this league who would it be? Danny Whitaker.
Your team of the season.(players from any national league team) XI Danny Whitakers.

 

[Tin Roofs & Stone Steps]

Your personal player of the season: Jack Holland - Captain fantastic started here and keeps improving year on year. Chipped in 7 league goals from CB as well.
Your teams best prospect: - David Gregory - I’ve lost count of how many points he secured for us! 20 clean sheets between the sticks.
Biggest Flop: Ben Wynter - Started brilliantly, looked the real deal, faded rapidly and ended up out on loan.
Top Scorer: Louis Dennis - Going to be hard to hold on to him this summer.
Most Improved: Jordan Higgs - Credit to his attitude and effort to grow, was bit part to start the season and finished the year picking him self. Top effort!!
Team strength: Pace going forward and range of chances we create.
Team Weakness: Slow to get going and sluggish defensive starts. Only so many times you can climb the mountain.
Season Rating out of 10: 8 - Best League finish in highest league ever. Blew our play off chance with games in hand. Off to Wembley though!
Manager rating out of 10: 8 - Did wonders with a thin squad, made some good signings and was bold with substitutions when needed. Some questionable starting lineups though which forced the bold subs.
If you could sign one player from another team in this league who would it be? Andy Cook - We’re good going forward and create good chances every game but our two highest scorers were from midfield. We drew and lost a few games where we dominated start to finish and just couldn’t nick a goal. Straight to mind can think of 12 points dropped this way.

[bigtimecharlie_]

Your personal player of the season: Manny Oyeleke- He won both our supporters player and players player of the year awards and is vital to the way we play.
Your teams biggest prospect: Jim Kellerman- Easy to forget that he's still only 20, given that he's such an important part of the team. Only a matter of time before we lose him to a Football League side.
Biggest Flop: Shaun Okojie- Prolific striker signed from Corinthian Casuals. Ultimately the step up proved too much for him and he was released.
Most improved: Shamir Fenelon- He's had a quiet last few weeks but 11 league goals from the wing is a good improvement from last season.
Team Strength: The best passing team in the division, score some brilliant team goals.
Team Weakness: Lack of physicality and not clinical. We struggle badly against physically strong, direct sides and we don't have enough players capable of scoring regularly. Scott Rendell is our top league scorer with 12, and I think 4 of them have been penalties.
Season rating out of 10: 7- Making the play-offs again marks a good season, and GW is doing a great job. However we've been poor in the second half of the season and this years signings haven't added much to the squad.
Manager rating out of 10: 8- He's the best manager we've had in my 15 years supporting the club. I just hope he stays.
If you could sign one player from another team in this league who would it be: Bruno Andrade. Scores goals from the wing and would fit in to our style of play.

Your personal player of the season: Nathan Ashmore.

Your teams best prospect: Darren McQueen, if he recovers well from his injury.

Biggest Flop: Danny Mills. Was happy when we signed him after seeing him numerous times for Whitehawk. Turned out to be shit for us, now banging them in while on loan at Dartford.

Top Scorer: Danny Kedwell. 20 (18 league, 2 cup)

Most Improved: Jack Connors. Improved a hell of a lot this season. Still a bit of room for improvement though.

Team strength: the spirit in general. Fantastic team spirit.

Team Weakness: Drawn too many.

Season Rating out of 10: 10. I for one wasn't expecting to finish in the play offs.

Manager rating out of 10: 8/9. Fantastic to finish in the play offs but some of his decisions at times are questionable to say the least.

If you could sign one player from another team in this league who would it be? Bruno Andrade.

Your team of the season.(players from any national league team)

Don't like doing these, but mentions to Mitch Walker, Pearson, Francois Angol, McNulty, Cook, Andrade, Balanta, Rowe, the full back for Barrow, don't remember his name.

other comments: Great season. What will be, will be. Good luck to all in the play offs.

Where's the official Team of the Year that we normally do. Admin round here stinks.
