Ex-Bees (2014 update)

Elliot Johnson skippers Hednesford Town to victory in the NPL West play-off final securing promotion to the NPL. Surprised to see him so far up North.

What’s he doing playing at that level at the age of 30!? Have the injuries affected him that much?

Led to believe they have a huge budget and have some big names on their playing staff.

They've certainly got a fantastic ground. Steep, covered terracing along one side and behind one goal fosters a great atmosphere. 4701 for a Step Four play-off. Impressive.

They were in the National League when it was built!

Manny duku scores for Solihull to put the daggers back in the bottom four.

Really feel sorry for Walsall. They were a shoe in for the Championship for so long then today they miss out on automatic promotion when Bradford score deep into injury time. Don't see much hope for them in P.O.s. Chesterfield squeeze in on the final day. Or could be Wimbledon or Notts Co.

Hopefully it'll only cost a £1 to go to the Poundland stadium next season

I hope the Wombles stay down. Nothing against them but I would like a bank holiday Derby.

John not sure if you mean the August bank holiday? But football league don't play on the Monday bank holiday anymore

I was hoping Boxing Day! New Years Day. Any day to be honest. A nice local game!

Never feel sorry for Walsall - they tried to get us expelled so they could nick our promotion spot. You could feel sorry for them for being in Walsall I suppose, but that's their fault. Also it will be my most local fixture so I hope they stay down - and we owe them a beating at long last.

Interesting reading the article on the website that they are going full time next season, and have appointed Angelo Harrop as manager. The NLS is going to be a real git to get out of next season.

Santos would be a great fit for us. He’s a very good 1v1 defender

Some Bolton fans suggesting he's struggled with injuries and not the player he was. I really liked him when he was with us, might be a bit of a gamble.

Ricardo Santos played a full 90 for 23 of the opening 24 League 1 games for Bolton this season.

It's 1 single injury rather than many different ones.

He actually played a full 90 mins 26 times in all competitions this season but the injury is described as a "chronic pelvic" injury, which can't be operated on and needs to be managed. Seen a picture where he looks distinctly heavier, (in the face), than I remember. Suggestion is that he needs a complete Summer off of loading on the area, but the problem with that is staying fit while doing so. Really poor timing for him that he's out of contract while he's got a problem like this. Hope he gets it sorted but doesn't sound good.

They missed out on Playoffs by 10 points, after taking 2 points from a possible 18 over the last 6 games of the season.

Santos was in the PFA League One TOTS for three consecutive years before this season. Genuinely think its as likely that a Championship club takes a punt on getting 20 games out of him as it is that he drops to L2 level, nevermind with us who surely won't have the resources to pay him.

Bringing players back never works, I give you Dean Sinclair, Nicky Bailey and the Spanish striker whose name I can’t recall (Lopez?) as my examples !
