Mark Wilson has moved back into the area and I must admit the news causes me to expereince a certain misty eyed nostalgia. During his loan spell at The Racecourse he exuded class. He was a quality player who looked a cut above the level he was playing at, and it should be remembered that we were a side pushing for promotion to The Championship at the time.
The tantalising thing about him was that he was nearly attainable. Perhaps we could have signed him permanantly; it was a long shot but…

Poor old Darran Kempson doesn’t sound like he’s having the happiest of times at Forest Green. They lost 3-1 at home to Altrincham on Saturday; he deflected in the first, was guilty of a howler to give away the second and was given a rating of four out of ten by the Non League Paper.
Ouch!
It must be something of a nightmare for him. He drops out of the Football League and must assume he’s going to be a big name in the Conference, he’s immediately picked for the first England C squad and has a…

I’m finding the Dean Saunders experiment fascinating. You can see exactly what he’s doing-frankly this is the first time since Denis Smith was boss when I can sit and watch us and see what we’re looking to do, which has surely got to be a good thing! The pieces aren’t fitting together yet, which is totally understandable as Saunders has only just got his feet under the manager’s desk and has had no chance to really sort out the squad and make it his own. Yet while he tinkers and looks to find…

Steve’s blog makes an excellent point about fixture congestion, and I fear our improved form could make it even worse. After the first round of the F.A. Trophy there are no weekends set aside should we make further progress. The designated weekends seem to constantly clash with when we go down to the South East, so we could get a backlog of awkward games in the Home Counties to make up in midweek just when we’re trying to pick up some league momentum.
Having said that, there is a way to…

With Dean Saunders looking to clear out his squad, it’s perfectly understandable for our minds to wander to who’s in favour and who isn’t. Well there’s one player who must be very concerned after the Altrincham game. Will Sam Aiston already be mentally packing his bags? Think about it. I suspect an awful lot of fans, if asked who they suspect Saunders will be looking to offload, would suggest Christian Smith. Yet with Wes Baynes suspended last Tuesday, Saunders played Smith out of position…

And there’s more! Josh Johnson has had his first call-up to the full Trinidad squad! Going to Rhyl looks to have really done something for him; wonder if he’s one who we ought to have held onto? With Neil Roberts, Danny Williams and Jamie Reed at Belle Vue too, there might be a few on the coast who feel that way. Mind you, if they win their games in hand they’ll be top of the league, so maybe they’re having a gratifying time anyway. With Gareth Owen, James Kelly, George Horan and Jamie Digwood…

Young Chris Maxwell looks like he’s causing a stir at Connah’s Quay, becoming the first Nomads player to achieve an international call-up when he was picked for Wales’ Under-19 squad for their European Championship qualifier against Turkey. It’s good to see the youngster making an impression-he will hopefully be one of the loaned players we’ll want to bring back!
