Bassey didn't want the job last time, why would he want it now? It wasn’t that he didn’t want to stay or was unhappy with us. At that time, he had another very attractive offer to become a first team coach at a huge club in Portsmouth. As he said himself, “I was planning on staying for a longer per...

Mel Gwinnett was sacked by Hampton & Richmond after an alarming collapse saw them drop from 2nd to a finish outside the play-offs. A stand-out candidate in respect of results and profile would be local boy Matt Gray. Sutton’s style of football under him was the polar opposite of our style under ...

Going to be hard for him to turn down a big pay rise and a first ever football league job at a club with huge support and where, from one perspective, the only way is up (their finish last season was their lowest ever since the creation of Division 4 (Lge 2) in 1958). Hope he does though. It would c...

I do think we should be looking to conduct a raid on Meadow Park and take advantage of Boreham Wood’s relegation. That squad was better than their league position, with a lot of players who’ve proven their quality at National League level. We would need to pay fees in most cases, but you would hope ...

It felt pivotal at the time, but Akinde missing that pen probably helped us. Another win in the bank for Westley may have delayed his eventual sacking by a few weeks, giving Martin Allen even less time to pull off a great escape. Had Akinde employed his usual method and rolled the penalty into the n...

If we want to keep playing the same way and we can’t secure Hartigan’s services, we’ll need to sign a replacement in his mould, ie someone always looking to receive the ball from the centre backs, always wanting the ball and happy to receive it in tight spots etc. Not very many available I’d imagine...

I’d be surprised if Bromley got relegated from L2 next season, should they go up. They’ve got a healthy and growing level of support, and they seem to have relatively deep pockets. Don’t see any particular reason why they would struggle any more than other promoted sides in recent years. Yes there’s...

why can`t there be replays in the FA cup up to the 3rd round as that is when the premier league clubs enter and its they who say they are playing too many games, so is this an idea from the league bosses to even everything up by making every team in every league play the same ammount of games? Mayb...

So we can't have F A Cup replays but we can have this pointless ( for us) competition? What level of support have the U21s been getting in EFL Trophy when they've played EFL teams? Presumably it will be comparable when they play NL teams. I don't imagine much support from the NL supporters. Maybe s...

The top 16 clubs from this season ‘qualify’ (hooray! Go us!) for this competition. The big winners are the other 8 clubs and those in the National Leagues North and South, because they don’t have to play in this abomination of a competition but will get a share of the cash the Premier League is chuc...

Chris Plummer departs Scunthorpe - manager Jimmy Dean paid the price for missing out on promotion, and as his assistant Plummer’s on his way out too.

Meanwhile Tomi Adeloye has been released by Swindon

Both looked very tight games. Enfailed’s goal came from a long throw by ex-Bee Joe Payne. Finchley played well in the 1st half but fell away a bit in the 2nd. Massive crowds in both ties. Enfailed’s biggest ever and I’d never seen so many Finchley fans before! Joe Payne, was he the young lad that M...

Awful awful awful. Making National League teams training fodder for Premier League clubs’ kids. Embarrassing.

Like the fact we can name 7 subs, we should always have a GK on the bench! Now we can use 5, this could help ease the workload on players and help reduce injury risk. The festive fixture idea is good as well. It's quite intense playing the same side twice in a week, although we did ok with it this ...
