This might be a tad premature for some, but for those who aren’t recruiting a great deal due to having settled squads, or for those like Doncaster, whom appear to be signing every Tom, Dick and Harry regardless of quality, it’ll be interesting to see where your respective squads are at - and...

The only game in L2 tomorrow. It’s our game in hand for when Crewe claimed international duty for a couple of u17’s. Lose and whatever slim chances we have of getting automatic promotion are finished (although, they pretty much are, aren’t they). Looks like Adam Clayton is match fit again...

It’s that time of the year when clubs are obligated to report their financials to Companies House. Ours were published earlier this week and, as always, made for interesting reading. Overview: Further context: Total revenue significantly up (£7.3m) in comparison to previous year due to the...

Colchester United at home: They have decent away form, but did slip up away at Carlisle last time out. They have a new manager, so that’s their pre-match team talk sorted. With Fiacre Kelleher in their defence, we’ve got to be in with half a chance - even at Valley Parade. Nothing against...

Just the five fixtures tomorrow evening. Gillingham away: GK: Harry Lewis RB: Brad Halliday CB: Matt Platt CB: Sam Stubbs LB: Liam Ridehalgh CM: Adam Clayton CM: Ritchie Smallwood CM: Alex Gilliead AM: Jamie Walker ST: Andy Cook ST: Dara Costelloe Our away form is fantastic...

—————————— Bluebirds at home and a great chance for us to close the gap on the top three. Barrow, however, haven’t won at Valley Parade since Feb 1965. They’re in poor form at the minute, too. What could go wrong? Derbyshire went off injured on Tuesday night - set to have a scan today, but...

Just the one fixture in L2 tomorrow - our game in hand. Must win - simple as that. Given Dale’s lowly position and current form, there can’t be any excuses. Wright has gone back to Villa, so it’ll be interesting to see which formation Hughes goes with. GK: Harry Lewis RB: Brad Halliday...

We welcome The Cobblers to Valley Parade this weekend, in what is a massive game for both clubs. If we win, we leapfrog Northampton and climb to 3rd in the table. If they win….well, who cares. ;) They’re without talisman Sam Hoskins - he’ll be suspended for this one. Seems Kieron Bowie could...

We’ve an awful record against those lickle devils! Have a feeling it’ll continue tomorrow. GK: Harry Lewis RB: Brad Halliday CB: Matty Platt CB: Romoney Critchlow LB: Matty Foulds CM: Alex Gilliead CM: Ritchie Smallwood RW: Dion Pereira CAM: Harry Chapman LW: Tyreik Wright ST...

Northampton Vs Stockport (2pm) - 3rd v 16th Barrow Vs Orient - 1st v 2nd Bradford City Vs Wimbledon - 5th v 17th Colchester Vs Rochdale - 21st v 24th Crewe Vs Mansfield - 7th v 9th Doncaster Vs Crawley - 12th v 20th Grimsby Vs Swindon - 8th v 11th Hartlepool Vs Gillingham - 22nd v 23rd...

This weekends action is kickstarted with Stockport’s visit to Tranmere on Friday night. For my beloved, it’s Mansfield away. They have a very good home record stretching back to last season. We got the better of them last season at Field Mill, thanks to a masterclass from Charles Vernam -...

Mods: merge with the ‘opening day fixtures’ thread if you like, but I thought a separate thread in the usual format would be better - as per previous seasons. Opening Day then, that came round quick. Recently relegated Doncaster Rovers at Valley Parade. Absentees: Timi Odusina, Alex...

Looking ahead to next season then, which players are out of contract? Which players would you like to see offered a new contract and which players will you throw in the bin? Any contracted players you would like to see leave? Any current loanees you wouldn’t mind returning next season? Starting...

Most clubs have already began their pre-season training. Whilst the vast majority of clubs are still finalising deals, there’s a few squads that are nearing completion. I didn’t wish for any projected starting XI’s to be lost within the the “Transfer rumours/Transfer completed” thread, but...

Ours set to go on sale from Monday. Usually, I’d have a rough idea of how many we’ll sell, but this year I don’t have the foggiest. Pricing has increased slightly, but the club have offered a monthly Direct Debit scheme, interest free - which I think will be quite popular. Having sold 14,000...

Apologies if this doesn’t meet the criteria of bollocks being spouted on here lately, but is anyone else making good use of fans being banned from stadiums during this pandemic? We have a new stadium tunnel (not yet finished), we’re ripping out 25,000 seats (longer-term project) and replacing...

So, it’s been a crazy old summer, hasn’t it? Most clubs will have completed their transfer business by now, but they’ll be a small number of clubs, like mine, who are yet to strengthen in key areas. We still need a replacement for Vaughan, not to mention a RB - after binning off Kelvin Mellor...

Going by Twitter and social media as a whole, this is turning into a bit of a grudge match, what with the whole Doyle debacle. Anyway, one thing is for certain, Doyle ain’t playing; which means they need to find a goal from someone other then Doyle. Which could prove difficult, considering...

We welcome Creepy to Valley Parade. We’re still not blowing teams away but we continue to win - this leagues a bit shit, init? Hope Akpan has found some form, and we have the rock that is Ben Richards-Everton back from suspension - although, Anthony O’connor has filled in perfectly. James...
