Big name players will get kicked out of most games in this league as we all know. We’re better equipped than ever this season because of the different options we have for each position which means that only JR will know who is playing and how we’re gonna attack each game tactically. If Danny Rowe gets marked out of a game we’ll just throw on Tom Denton.
Going up as champs this season and next season we’ll surprise many.

Life goes on. Whatever happens.

It’s funny how Mandeville has gone from a glove wearing, work shy, waste of a wage loser to a powerhouse, class above, non-league Kante in the space of about 3 months.

There’s certainly some experts the day after a disaster on here.

Think he was on about Manny Oyoleke not Mandeville being the powerhouse

Manny = Oyoleke, Mandy = Mandeville......Learn your players, I know there's been a high turnover but even so.......

Yes I did mean Manny not Mandy.

But I have been impressed with Mandy's improvement too. Even to the point where him starting ahead of Whelan didn't upset me.

Technically Mandeville is a far better player than Whelan, what he needed to work on was his stamina, which he appears to be doing and Rowe more importantly rates him.

well, for certain he's got to chip in with his quota of goals anawl.
Even then I really can't see him being in our starting 11 though, barring injuries.

Get it on, bang the gong , get it on

i don't think we'll fear anyone to be honest, yes there's a lot of ex-league clubs in here now but as we've seen it doesn't always mean that much, last 2 seasons won by sutton and barrow, i honestly think we'll be right up there, win it? too hard to predict but we'll be a top 3 contender.
as for EFL and NL agreeing to a 4 up 4 down, i can't see that happening but agree it needs reviewing and push to be made for at least 3 up 3 down. for me if you finish 3rd bottom of your league you can't really complain about being relegated, i think i'm right in saying that Division 4 is the only league in the english pyramid where only 2 go down? even the premier league with 4 fewer teams in it have 3 relegation places. needs a review.

3 up 3 down is long overdue, would see less relegated clubs stuck in the national league for a few seasons and we might actually see yo yo clubs, i dont think a team promoted in league 2 has gone straight back down. Needs a wage cap too, national league spending is going crazy despite the events of the past few months
