Agree Tony, was an ok player, decent with free kicks too, but not irreplaceabl.Last season was a 'new era', this season is as much too. Almost a completely new team this season, expecting a few more signings (centre forward) by the end of the week.

Quote from: Mallard on June 07, 2026, 10:38:44 AMCaddis must have one hell of a striker lined up to match what we have let go.

As good a striker as he was, he was not 100% focused on his football career, for that reason he had to go. We have to assume that PC has a forward he wants to bring in. We do have Ubaezuonu of course. Maybe someone from Cambridge Utd is heading our way.

Quote from: John H on June 03, 2026, 08:33:55 AMNot sure where Jones and Mills will play. Hall-Johnson will surely be our first choice right back.
Mills is injury prone (hamstring)and that was why he was released, "not worth the risk".
I think both Jones and Mills can play in midfield if fit.
Hoping to see George Munday from Cambridge Utd come in, probably on loan if he does.
Is Gyasi going to feature at all?

John, we all see the game differently.  Personally I wouldn't have resigned RHJ, injury record not good last year so a risk as he gets older, good going forward but not solid defensively which was a necessity last year from one of the senior pros in the squad.  Mills is a risk this season but looks the right profile if he can stay fit.  Pleased to see Jones back, always dependable but can't really see how the current signings fit together if we continue with last seasons 'core + youngsters' model.

Hi Tony
I was speaking with a work colleague who is a Boston Utd fan. He says that we have got a quality player in Zak Mills. He played at centre half for Boston and puts his body on the line and is good in the air. Had surgery on his hamstring last year.
I see Kidderminster have released several players, Morgan-Smith is one, would be good if he came.

Blue and gold of course. Blue shirts with yellow sleeves would be good.

Hall-Johnson for right back. Jones was good when he was here before, but so was Marriott. I think Jones can play in midfield too.

Is Gyasi likely to feature? I hope so, would be good to see him back playing.

Cambridge Utd player, 19 year old, 6'3'' forward George Munday had several loan spells last season, St Ives, Bedford and was at Hereford until the end of the season. Scored something like 10 goals in 22 games for Hereford. With Cambridge Utd getting promoted, he may not figure too much in their immediate plans, maybe he would be a good addition for us, assuming he is based near Cambridge.

Quote from: fenlander on April 20, 2026, 12:15:15 PMThanks to Igoal difference, if Hereford were to lose on Tuesday or Saturday, we are safe.

If they don't lose either of their last two, a point on Saturday would see us safe, as Alfreton and Curzon play each other, and only one of them could overtake us. We would remain above Hereford on goal difference.

Hope this helps bring some clarity. 

If Hereford win both their games, Curzon beat Alfreton and Bedford draw. Then a point at Chester won't be enough. Hopefully Marine will beat Hereford tomorrow

If Hereford draw one, a point would see us safe.

Not if Hereford draw tonight and then beat Peterborough Sports by 8 goals.
Chester will beat us on Saturday, I've seen nothing from recent games to think we will come away with anything. Really got to hope that Hereford lose tonight.

It's not looking good is it. A minimum of a draw at Chester and even that may not be enough. Chester have won their last 5 games and only conceded twice in that time.
Can't see us getting anything there, unlikely that Margin be will beat Hereford but stranger things have happened.
I knew at the time that the Bedford game was the one we couldn't afford to lose.

I know we all sat at home looking at the two games that affect us. That was all out of our hands, we quite simply need to win on Saturday against Chorley. If we do that, we have a really good chance of staying in the NLN. Buxton then either win or draw with Curzon. Last day Curzon play Alfreton.
What line up would you pick v Chorley, surely it's got to be a very attacking one.

I didn't expect to get anything from the Kidderminster game, not even when we went 1 up.
Obviously our home game v Chorley is what matters now. If we win, we will very likely stay up, as other teams below and around us still have to play each other, which in the circumstances is very good for us.
If we draw against Chorley, it will be very close and could be looking for Worksop to win on the last day. If we lose to Chorley, we would need to get something at Chester, that's a big ask.
Hopefully Saturday we will attack from the off, it really is a must win game if we are to stay in the NLN. It will no doubt not be a comfortable afternoon, looking at scores elsewhere, but we are at home and Chorley are definitely beatable.
We will need to take chances and that includes decent delivery of corner kicks. My positive head says we will win 2-0, there is no room for any negative thoughts, Hopefully Hereford stuff Bedford tomorrow, Bedford then have two tough remaing games. Buxton also win tomorrow against Alfreton would be good news too.

Quote from: Linnet465 on April 08, 2026, 10:09:36 PM  Us beat Chorley not a hope in hell after the last two games at home. Neither goalie playing for the opposition was tested.
Hereford won tonight and with games in hand still look capable of escaping and our performances against the rest of the strugglers has not been positive apart from Leamington. I can't see us getting another point at home or away at Kidderminster or Chester.
Relegation maybe a good thing to start again as part time. I can't see many of the current squad accepting the new terms and they will move on.

Hereford will stay up and will finish above us. They are away to Bedford on Saturday and then have 4 remaining games, all at home.
They can do us a favour by beating Bedford. Bedford have to go to South Shields so would fancy a home win there. If Bedford lose both those games, providing we get 3 more points, they wouldn't get above us.
Oxford have 3 remaining games, all tough. With two more to be relegated, I think it will be between Curzon Ashton, Oxford and Alfreton.
Had we had got a draw with Bedford, things would have looked much better, for me now, the Chorley game is pivotal, unless we win at Kidderminster 😁 

Re Gepetto's comment on 'fair play to Caddis to stand up and give it a go'. He was sacked at Hereford so when offered a job at Lynn, was he ever going to turn it down, I don't think so. What even makes you think that he would actually like to be here after June.
I would like to see these stay -
Hall-Johnson
Clements
Wilson
Ubaezuonu
Williams
Crane
Toll (maybe he will play for us one day)
Dickens
Doherty


I think we will stay up, two difficult away games, but a win at home to Chorley will be enough, failing that, the bottom teams play one another, so that helps.

No to Caddis. Team selection, style of football, tactics, substitutions, unable to get the best out of current players. I can see why Hereford had had enough.

Hopefully Caddis gets the starting 11 right. Both Norwich loaned are too good to leave out. Not impressed with Rooney enough for him to start, would go with Bondo.
