Well he certainly has contacts as regards recruitment.  Certainly the win at Telford was excellent, and Caddis deserves credit for it, or at least the recruitment that brought the players who produced it.  Things are now promising, and we have Crane in the offing.  Fingers crossed for the season...

The lack of posts....  Is it ME?  Are punters fed up with what they see as my arrogance simply because I can see what's going on on the pitch better than Managers who are merely full up with cliches like "Character" or formations that are only relevant on Subbuteo boards where the players can't move out of position until getting a flick up the slats by a finger? Is it ME?!....  And can we please see Leach and Scott in the starting line-up vs Chorley please?  Pretty please....!!!

OK - H/T vs Hednesford - Leach and Scott on for Clunan and Tunniclffe.... Just sayin'!!!....

Perfect example of a "game of two halves"! Fist half Sfc looked much sharper than us, and bad result looked likely.  2nd half, so good to see 9 behind the ball when we didn't have it, instead of the 2 or 3 of the 1st.  Then, with the ball, we attacked in numbers. If we keep that up, things are really on the up!  Great 2nd half performance....

Always a good win at Brackley.  Well done - a confidence booster, even mine!....

Don't want to be a downer, but....  Couldn't make the Harborough game, but watched both videos, and am already confused by the Manager's comments, plus concerned about the play, albeit early days.  But I saw no team play going forward, and a defence of individuals.  And please tell me what are "Number8s"?!... and which ones are ours?...

Not the level of friendlies that you'd expect for a National League club....

Good idea - Play 13 players a game!

Disappointed to see Morgan Williams leave.  He was often deservedly MOM, and it was very predictable he would go up rather than level or down when he left.

Angelo Harrow was sacked by Chelmsford with 6 games to go, so maybe not.  But then they all get sacked in the end, usually sooner rather than later! I do believe we need a new Manager, but I implore the board not to be impressed when interviewing anyone who talks about "Character", "Physicality", "Belief", etc., and look for someone who likes good players, most of whom have pace and ability.  Body Glimpt's manager would be ideal!

Great and hugely unexpected result!   Very well done to all concerned....  That last minute equaliser against Chorley the week before was worth its weight in gold!  The future is anyone's guess, but yesterday gave us a degree of hope for progress...

Cynical dummy here!  All football managers talk cliche drivel imho!  All interviewers and pundits take them seriously.  There are no "formations" after the kick-off, just the best teams having everyone behind the ball when their team are being attacked, with about 7 or 8 of them swarming forward when they have it.  We (and all) need a manager who can fill a team with players who don't have to act like they're listening to the coach with his picture book before they come on as a sub!  Such a simple (and great) game.  I hope we have one next season, with Williams and Wilson still here!....

We look likely to cling on to NLN status.  But we are a poor side - a team of triers.  We don't lack commitment and effort, but we do sadly lack ability.  Morgan Williams MOM again, deservedly.

I wish the new manager good luck, but I wonder what made the club make such a quick decision.  They all say they bring energy, character, and experience, but cliches don't provide success. They need good players, and the ability to attract them.  Then 10 men behind the ball when they haven't got it, and 7 of them going up when they have! That's it!  We'll have to rely on luck until we've got 'em!....

Unfathomable!  No Crane... No Williams... No Doherty.... No clue?....  Very poor display yesterday.  Very difficult last 3rd of season.  Fingers crossed we cling on!....
