Quote from: Steve1980 on October 25, 2026, 08:12:22 AMSurprisingly yesterday was a good point. The weather made the game an equal. I have no doubt without the horrific conditions we would have won. That's another game unbeaten from what was a particularly miserable season last year albeit only 13 games into this season I think this season we as supporters would be glad to stay away from a relegation scrap again. It takes time to build teams and clubs and I believe we have made strides. The manager made a valid point. Last year (even under his watch) we would have lost that game - Spennymoor and Bedford he mentioned as 2. Staying positive. Tough few weeks ahead. Well done all.

Steve, sorry but disagree, I don't see how a point at home to Southport was good. Yes, the weather didn't help, but I've seen plenty of good performances in similar / worse conditions.
We didn't create much and never looked like scoring.
Would have liked to seen Ed Leach start and Scott too, in place of Hamilton and Jones. Wouldn't have taken Crane off, thought he was more likely to create something if kept on.
Still agree it's better than last season, that's for sure. I still don't like the short goal kicks, before long they will cost us a goal.

Quote from: Mallard on October 12, 2026, 11:41:58 AMListening to the Manager's post match interview it seems wasn't a great game but that just shows if you aren't bang  at it you keep a clean sheet and hope to sneak one. 

Saturday's game this coming week will be interesting.  Take a point on the road any day of the week.  Even a narrow defeat is no shame.  A win ?  Well that would really have people sitting up and taking note.

Wasn't a good display, but still won. Definite penalty and very well taken, hit with power and would have been some save to keep it out. We don't look particularly comfortable playing the ball out from goal kicks and quickly got closed down. Seems to be tge way now though. Impressed with Ed Leach again, he is a very good player. Ross Crane looked good when he came on, good to have him back.
Merthyr's current form isn't that good, I think we will get a win there. Another clean sheet, so no need to change that area, not even Jones when he is back from suspension. Good attendance too, all looking good.

We were so much better in the last 10 minutes or so, just makes you wonder why we aren't more aggressive from the start especially at home.
Away teams will be quite happy to let us have posession and just passing the ball along our back line, it isn't causing a threat to them. The more direct and long ball gave Hednesford much more to think about.
Interested to head people's thoughts on McGammon. He didn't impress me at right back, surely that's Hall-Johnson's place and not higher up. Would prefer both Scott and Leach starting ahead of McGammon. Would also like to see Love start, he would be a good target for crosses and corners you would think.
I think we have now found our penalty taker in Nwabueze, that was how to take one.
Hopefully Mr Caddis will address some of the issues for Chorley. He was quick to berate the players poor defending. Hopefully he will start the next game with a recognised right back and be able to change the style of football away from all the lateral and backward passing, unless we are winning of course.
Still confident for a good season, the Scarborough game shows what we can do.

If we get ab away draw, Peterborough Sports, but would prefer home advantage so anyone at home. I assume it will be regionalised south and north and although we are in the NLN, we got Royston last year, so who knows.

Quote from: m a hill on August 22, 2026, 07:32:24 PMWhat can I say about the game today we missed 3 easy chances and should have had a penalty we Need to get some one who can put the ball in the net to be beat by a very poor side is a disaster in fact they scored 2 after I had left

4 games in and only 4 goals, one of which was an own goal. The fact that none of our forwards have scored shows where the problem is likely to be. Are our forwards going to score regayrly.

What 11 do you think should start for our first league game?

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.

Not sure where Jones and Mills will play. Hall-Johnson will surely be our first choice right back.

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.
