    Watched Wrexham and Tranmere in that league and thought it was exciting.

    League 2, football is tripe, then you get stuck in it for years. The jump between the Championship, League one and two is astronomical too. Whole 'nother footballing world down there.

    Like I said to my lot, you've got a bit of a bottle neck in the National League, because they've only got one auto place, then one play-off place, mostly old league clubs with new investments. L2 is just full of dead wood. If it was me, I'd turn L2 and NL into a combined league split into a North and South, with promotions to L1.

    Well looking fwd to the old feeling of defeat today. It doesn't happen much thrse days, but it's a nailed on certainty today.

    The great Murphy fraser and longstaff have completed a couple of passes and wormed their way into the 11 .. Great

    I bet he couldn't miss if he tried that again

    Wouldn't surprise me if you drew. You seem to do that more than anything else.

    No max no isak no Almiron apparently... I get we scored a few vs 10 man Fulham and Brentford committed suicide 3 times last week , but man united despite their fans high expectations are actually 5 wins in 6 and beginning to look good on the counter.

    If nufc had their best 11 out they'd cause a few problems, but Murphy longstaff Fraser will soon remind the nufc fans they're out of their depth in this league.

    I think burn will get targeted at left back .... I thought he was poor vs Brentford and that Anthony could torture him there... we lack pace in the back line especially lb


    Just a bonus fixture though I guess looking fwd to it .

    I've watched that back a number of times, and I'm like HOW?

    It looks impossible to miss!

    All was good though, we did eventually score and a draw against the table toppers which is good in my book. We've been unbeaten for something like six games now, but most of them have been draws - So Harris has stopped us from conceding bags full, but now needs to work on situations like that video.

    I've just seen the fixtures, there's some cracking games, it's a shame they've never staggered the kick off times.

    I still don't know what to make of your season. League position looks great but like you've said, Fulham newly promoted and 10 men. Forest newly promoted and ****e. Brentford was a good result, they're a decent side that lot. I think that's it for wins?

    I don't think the league table will settle down properly until about the time the world cup starts. That could go in your favour...

    Not sure how much he can work on with that. It would be like teaching kids the basics. Don't lean back and keep your body over the ball... These are professional lads, that was just a lack of concentration and one of them things that happens every now and again.

    Good to see you on the up, though.

    You’ll probably score at least one so if you can keep it tight at the back we will struggle.

    Guimaraes vs Casemiro is a good match up in CM.

    They've got the BITW and in some cases The GOAT in each position so I can’t see City causing them many problems.
