How do you know Millwall's style Mat? I wouldn't have a clue. it's not pretty. Alot of hoof ball only managing 41% possession (only Rotherham and Huddersfield had less) Think back to when Gillingham beat us on the first day of last season. Its that (same manager) but worse. Langstaff has flourished at Gateshead and notts through possession based football and producing lots of chances for langstaff to score of which he does very well They've got there Boy Harris back in charge. Harris will no doubt play the Low Block that has swept football the last few seasons

Trials to be a ball boy. Just give it a local kids team and move on.

Gavin Holohan signs for Crawley.
Baffling in general but bad for us, always bags against us it seems and does f*ck all for the rest of his season.

Presuming it was by Wrexham? New signing for them yesterday. This is my favourite bit of the announcement: "This signing was again announced via livestream of the club's new Wrexham Contract Printer - HP Smart Tank.
As Wrexham's global technology partner, HP supports club operations - including the exclusive printing of new signing contracts. You can find all live updates on the Wrexham AFC Instagram Channel."Ah yes, pound shop Jack Grealish. I'm surprised no one on here has mentioned his trip to EP with Charlton a couple of years ago. Pushed an off-balance MSH head first into the advertising hoardings (not even a bookable offence apparently) and then unceremoniously bundled Crankshaw over in the box to set up Collar's hattrick from the spot. I hope he's similarly out of his depth on his next visit (without the head injuries this time please).

Probably an unpopular opinion but I think his challenge on MSH got blown up as worse than it was because of the impact with the gate. To me it looked like he was using his body to shield in a manner that happens hundreds of times every game.

The impact of MSH's head on the gate certainly didn't help, but if you watch it back he definitely does a bit more than shield the ball, there's a sneaky little shove in there. I'm not saying he intended to cause a head injury, but it's still a dangerous challenge given whereabouts on the pitch it happened.

Yeah there's a definite shove but it's of the same nature you see all over the pitch every game. They usually go unnoticed and unpunished.

All over the pitch but much more dangerous when there's a barrier there.

Leaving the MSH challenge aside, he looked like a player who was struggling to live with our attack. Maybe he's brilliant and was just having an off night, but if that's the standard of "marquee signing" for ambitious clubs in our division, it suggest we're about to do OK, as long as we've got our own recruitment right of course.

Yep, there's been a lot of talk over the past year or two about us getting to a point where Wrexham will leave us behind, and it was something I also subscribed to. Based on this summer's recruitment so far though, I'd expect us to be finishing above them once again this season. They don't seem to have a particular plan when it comes to recruitment, it's just a case of throwing a load of players together who've played at a higher level. It's mostly worked for them so far but I can see them hitting a wall.
