George Ray on the scoresheet having gotten into the Exeter starting eleven recently. Mullin at it again for Wrexham and Jolley scores for Chester

Jake Caprice is also a regular at Exeter now, playing at left back.

Jolley seemed to have settled in nicely at Chester chipping in with a few goals.

very interesting and moving read re Connor Jennings....sometimes even nowadays good things happen!
A heart warming article which belies the comment by Aston Villa chief executive Christian Purslow that everything going in the English game happens in the Premier League. He probably thinks Boris Johnson is a great prime minister.

Paul Mullin's Wrexham are beaten 2-0 at home by Yeovil.

Jake Burton loan extended for another month
Doesn't sound like he had the best of games, missing a sitter as Stalybridge lost the battle of the Celtics in the FA Trophy

Yes shame that.... mind you Norwood missed sitter after sitter one on ones when he first arrived so much so he used to joke about it and he turned out ok:)

Paul Cook sacked by Ipswich. Wonder if any new gaffer will bring Nors in from the cold

Some suggestion it's the new owners who have been responsible for Norwood being kept out of the line-up.

Yes I saw that as well Boz and Norwood was very complimentary of Cook in twitter posts over the weekend saying "his hands were tied".
John McGreal just announced as interim manager incidentally.

Buxton probably by far the most technically gifted player at that level - and probably the most unfit!

Going back to Nors, as Boz suggested you wonder if it wasn’t cookies decision to keep James away from the first team especially given Nors tweets after Cook was sacked:

“Gutted to see the gaffer go. We have a great relationship on and off the field. He was up against it for a multitude of reasons this season and I genuinely wish him the best in the future”

That speaks volumes about why Nors was not in the team and why Paul Cook found it difficult to manage the club.

Good luck to John McGreal. He'll have his work cut out to succeed with one hand tied behind his back.

Elliot Rokka has joined Macclesfield on loan from Atherton Collieries. Looks like his career never did take off..
