Re: FA Cup draw

I take it that the regionalisation is widened in the next 2 qualifying rounds, hence us playing Leamington and Tamworth in recent years in the 3rd and 4th QR. It’s the same regionalisation for 3QR, and then is broken into a Northern Section and Southern Section for 4QR (I.E North + Midlands and Sou...

FA Cup draw

2nd qualifying round draw is made tomorrow at 1pm. It’ll be regionalised so we shouldn’t have to play a Midlands side at this stage.

Darlington v Boston 3/09/22

Let's be honest, only one person in the ground seemed to know why the penalty was awarded. And there seemed to be a far more obvious shout later in the half when Beck virtually had his shirt torn off. The penalty knocked us back badly but we took them apart very efffectively in the second half with...

Re: August thoughts

That’s a pretty fair summary. I posted in another thread our results have improved from last season but we’re still to click in terms of performances. That’s largely I think because AA is still working out his best starting XI. Once he finds a system that works, then we’ll be pretty difficult to sto...

Another game we drew last season that we’ve turned into a win this time out. With the Chorley and Gloucester results, we’re now +5pts on those matches from last season.

Re: Chorley V Darlington

A fixture we lost last season so I’m satisfied with a draw this time around. And we only drew at home to Gloucester last season so we’re in essence three points up on last season already. I know that’s a very simplistic way of looking at things, particularly as we’re only two games in. But the very ...

First managerial casualty of the season

Terry Mitchell has left Blyth Spartans after just one game.

Evidently something has happened behind the scenes to go so early in the season. They’re also after their 5th permanent manager since 2019.

We’ve also signed four of our youth players on first team forms.

Jack Winstanley and Charlie Mitchell (defenders) and Reece McMann and Sean Chidanyika (midfielders).

Unlikely to see them loads in the first team, but they give us additional options in the event of injuries/suspensions.

Would also add that we have Beck, Hazel, Lambert, Maddison, Rivers and Mondal going for three/four places in the side (working on the basis we’ll play either 4-4-2, 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 this season). That means at least two of our forward players will miss out each game. Of course none of us know what’s...

We definitely need a third centre back. I’ve said it before but it would be daft to go into a season, potentially playing more than 50 games, with just two specialist centre backs, particularly as Wheater won’t be playing every game.
