My thoughts on every FA Cup tie involving a NL Club

Anstey Nomads 0-3 Chesterfield The game selected for TV didn’t produce any shocks as Chesterfield walked out comfortable winners, something which was needed following 3 losses on the bounce. I feel Paul Cook’s decision to field a strong side was influenced by their recent results, but it certainly proved to be a good decision, restoring

My ‘Alternative’ National League Team of the Season So Far…

Exeter City: 5 managers they should consider from the National League

After news broke yesterday that Exeter City have accepted an approach from Rotherham for the services of their manager, Matt Taylor, I wondered what options would be suitable from the National League. Whilst the expectation is that they will appoint from within, there are some great options in the National League, and here I profile

Another 8 National League who could make the step up to the EFL

With no midweek games in the National League I decided to extend this series by considering another 8 players who I believe EFL clubs should consider in the future. Jeff King  It’s probably a travesty that this man hasn’t made one of these lists so far, but as they say it’s better late than never.

8 more National League players I believe EFL clubs should look at

The National League has such a rich talent pool, and these 10 could represent great pieces

Preview | Solihull Moors (H)

Notts welcome Solihull Moors to Meadow Lane later today, in a clash of two of the most in form sides in the division. Solihull have scored 4 goals in their last 2 away days, and Notts smashed 4 past Halifax two days ago, so there is almost a guarantee of goals. Both sides have some

National League: Team of the Week (Matchday 1)

GK – Ollie Banks Not the keeper anyone would have expected at the start of the matchday, Chesterfield midfielder Ollie Banks had to step in, after starting keeper Lucas Covolan showcased his fiery temperament, earning a red card for an off the ball incident. Banks made 5 saves, the 3rd highest in the division, showing

National League: Opening Day Predictions

The National League is finally back, and with only one more sleep til it kicks off, I preview the opening fixtures, as well as making my predictions of the opening day scores. Aldershot v Solihull Playoff final runners up Solihull face a trip to the Recreation Ground in their first game of the season, and

National League Transfers: Winners and Losers 1st August 2022

Due to releasing my season preview over the weekend, the weekly transfer roundup in the National League has been slightly delayed, but the extra few days brought some of the biggest signings. Sides who were looking depleted have now replenished, and the title favourites also added another top talent to their ranks. As the season
