Macclesfield lost to marine in play off final..

[Sammy Spireite]

While “dark arts” is on table, have a search for Ex-Spireite Melvin Minter playing in last weeks Isthmian League North Division Playoff Semi Final For Brentwood against Bury Town.

He comically slipped and falls over while taking a goal kick leading to a booking from the ref for time wasting.

Brentwood won 3-1 in the semi, but lost in Saturdays final to Bowers & Pitsea

purely on form and budgets you want MK or Donny out the way.

Based on the fact Donny is a class day out I’d be cheering MK on, but alas I’m not a very good luck charm it appears

Tbh I'm just basing it on MK and Donny being quicker easier away trips next yr, I've had my fill of stoopid long away trips whilst we've been down in the NL

Evo doing the business against Barnsley in the Lge one play off semis. 5-2 on aggregate at half time!

[spireitetoo]

Crawley 3 up..

[Westbars Spireite]

Crawley look a very decent side.

Few twitchy bottoms around Bolton currently I’d have thought…

Hope they don’t go up, nearest away day for me!

[Holmesc1]

Crawley v mk dons, what a game, and crawley should have had 5 in. Since mk come withing a inch of scoring in first half they never really threatened.

[spireitetoo]

Squeaky bum for evo, but they're thru to the final

Why doesn’t Cookie want Loz?

Best position is LCB in a back 3, we play a back 4, he isn’t strong or quick enough to play LCB in a back 4. Can do a job at LB but isn’t really dynamic enough. Glad he’s doing well but he’s a victim of our preferred formation unfortunately.

I like Maguire but he isn't getting in the team while we play a back four. When he got in for those run of games, he did well enough defensively but Cook demands attacking flair from his full backs. Very dangerous from corners and free kicks, but not strong enough to be a centre back in a four. I'd love to keep him, but he's not getting in that side in his preferred position.

I don’t get the concern over Loz. Without him we walked the league and without us he’s likely going to Wembley for a shot at League One, and become a regular in a League side.
Sometimes, in life, it’s best for both sides to part ways.

It all depends on the manager’s style and whether he fits into his model team imo. As I said when he was released on loan, LM hadn’t put a foot wrong for us but defending isn’t apparently a priority for PC. The primary quality of a defender is to defend after all. I hope this changes next year but I won’t hold my breath. Good luck to LM and I hope he gets a permanent deal with a club who saw his qualities. No not the fastest but a great passer of the ball like his brother and a plus in attacking dead ball situations.

No doubt the club will be expecting some financial return from this deal to pay for others being negotiated at present

Agree 100% good luck to him, never thought we should have let him go there in the first place.
He’s certainly proved he’s good enough at that level playing for them.
