Good luck guys, I'm visiting family up north so unfortunately won't be in attendance. Trying to slip off to take in the Matlock vase game though!

Lost 2-1. Didn't start to play until 2 down. Their goals came from 2 set pieces - both times their centre back was left unmarked - the second time he was standing on the goal line at a corner. 'Little Sholing' have now dumped us out of the FA Trophy and FA Youth Cup - questions to be asked?

With a run of away games coming up in November and with the cup money gone to have paid off the tax bill, allegedly, money could become tight so will we in a position, again, where we have to shed players before the busy Christmas/New Year period, do hope not.

Two positive points though, the new disclipinary code the board discussed with Rudgey in the week should save a few quid given our record and now we can concentrate on the league, hugely disappointing though to be saying that in October though.

I believe player pays his own fines - double hit with loss of wages from suspension...

We were poor today. Rudge had a good game last week, but seemed to struggle today and even Griffin seemed unusually lethargic today. Harris threw his toys out of the pram when subbed, but bringing on Bally and Guthrie should have happened earlier to get back in the game and he was less influential than Lye or Harvey. I think the second goal should have been disallowed as Ben was deliberately blocked off and impeded, but we should'nt be conceding from set pieces like this anyway.

Truly diabolical, very disappointing after last weeks heroics.  Harris had every reason to throw his toys out of the pram - why was he taken off?  Unbelievable.

That's it then - mid table to aim for.
