National League North 2024/25

[Kenneth Dodd]

Great week for us with two fabulous away wins.

Very poor performance from Chorley in a goalless draw at home to Peterboro Sports looked disjointed, lacked width and appetite for the game, on this sort of form we will fall away from the play off contenders very quickly, awful display.

We’re usually terrible at Leamington and have an awful record there but in the first half last night we blitzed them. Not sure where this sudden turnaround has come from but more of it please.

Had one of the worst away records in the division a few weeks ago and now all of a sudden we’ve won three of them on the spin scoring 11 goals in the process.

Connor Woods has also been added to the squad from Warrington, although it seems like the whole world knows and has opinion about that anyway.

Connor Woods has rare things at this level. His first touch and ability to go past a player are at least a couple of levels higher than this. He does disappear when he gets in a mood, and also lacks awareness of a final pass, but when he glides past defenders and shoots he makes it look easy. How he left us never sat easily, stamping his feet after being recalled from a loan at Warrington, and his form this season appears underwhelming including 3 games against us where he did nothing. He also rarely tracked back for us when playing in a wide right position, and that caused us problems when he wasn't firing at the other end. If you get it right with him he could be something special, but no-one has got it consistently right so far.

The news that we were signing Connor has had a very positive affect on the other forwards, they are definitely fighting to keep their place’s in the side and scoring goals galore. The motivation for Connor will be if he doesn’t do the business he’s going to be warming the bench so I’m looking forward to see how it works out.
