Re: Gloucester (A)

How did Asante look / do? Did all right, lasted nearly whole game. was able to hold the ball up . When he is fully match fit will be a real handful and we saw glimpses of how he can spin and turn defenders. Williams as well when he came on looked a good signing albeit for only a month. Lindley grew...

Re: Peterborough V Darlington

Thought that we were unlucky to go behind in the first half, but we never threatened in the second half and didn't look like scoring. Left before full time to get an earlier train as there was no risk of missing a goal.

Re: Hatfield

Would absolutely love Hatfield to come back. He's the best centre midfielder we've had at this level by a margin. Unless his legs have completely gone he'd be a huge asset. No idea if it's going to happen like. Hatfield didn't feature for Fylde today, not in the 11 or the 5 subs (Charman was a sub ...

Re: South Shields

Anyone but Leiston given their location. Most likely one of Oxford / Braintree will be laterally transferred across to NLN. The NLN will lose 6 teams (2 up/4 down) two of which will be replaced by South Shields and Scunthorpe. If Leitston are promoted they are further north than Oxford City or the ...

Re: RIP Billy McEwan

Billy Mac, no other Darlo manager was anything like him. Ahead of his time as he pioneered austerity years before Cameron & Osborne. Happy to work to a tight budget (probably why he got the job) and seemed to revel in the hair shirt treatment. Sold Steve Mardenborough for peanuts (£7k I think). Offe...
