Classic case of us seeing one very good performance and Swindon seeing the rest, remember McPake. Leave to Nigel
Different situation, as we had RHM play for us previously and do reasonably well, the Milton Keynes game being the high point. Swindon fans think he's inconsistent and injury prone. I would imagine he'd still be able to get a deal with someone in L2

it's also about, we seem never to play these types of players in their preferred positions or the tactics, shape, formation, doesn't suit them.
if I remember rightly, Hepburn -Murphy, never played in that role again!!!!

Can't recall what his best role was, inside forward or winger? CBT looked great two footed left winger but then just disappeared for matches on end. RHM only scored against the Dons in their two guises, remember that, nothing else. If Swindon have ditched him?

Ryan Taylor is “one of the leading candidates being looked at” by Morecambe for the manager’s job, according to BBC Merseyside’s Giulia Bould.

Yes and we will have sunny down town Bromley in L2 next season! They have been around for 132 years and this will be their first appearance in the Football League.
We have played them in the National league.
I was intrigued in the number of home grown talent that played from their academy.
be interesting to see how they do in L2.

I’m not unhappy. I’ve lost Sutton from my easy away trips but Bromley is even closer, probably my closest league club just ahead of Crawley and Gillingham. I’m hoping to see a lot more matches next season.

Josh Cogleys Bolton just about beat Martin Devaney’s Barnsley over two legs to get to the league one play off final.

Aaron Collins with their first goal assisted by Cogley
I remember Aaron. He was on loan to us from Wolves in our middle season in the NL. He made so much impression on Micky that despite our long injury list he failed to make the playoff final squad and instead played with the youth team in the famous win at Maidstone. He seems to have come on a bit since then.

Collins actually looked ok when he played here. He clearly had some potential and was one of the more 'senior' players to feature at Maidstone.

He was youth team coach, as a assistant to Shaun Garnett, then Andy Parkinson.
He also was an academy coach, with the older boys, such as u15s, u16s mainly.

Elliot Nevitt limps off in extra time as Crewe have an impressive turnaround to beat Donny on penalties

Surprised at Crewe progressing though didn't see any of the game. From a selfish perspective, hope the Franchise manage an even bigger turnaround and go on to win the final, as after the already promoted Wrexham and Stockport, they're probably third wealthiest L2 side.

Hope Nevitt is fit enough to feature in the final. Don't think he's signed a new deal at Crewe (yet) so will be interesting to see where he turns up next
