September 5th:
Blyth (The Rejection Arena) (11/46)
The game was a slow burner with little action in the first past of the half  and the only thing of note was a low shot by Tenthreeleader which clipped the outside of the left post. On the 35th minute though we got the lead as Mark Wilson jinked through the defence and slotted the ball under the onrushing keeper.
The second half was all us and on the 52nd minute we grabbed a second goal with Copperhorse heading in a CFuller cross. We were all over Blyth now and on the 67th minute Copperhorse had another chance with a thunderous effort which stung the fingers of the Blyth keeper. Nine minutes later we got the third goal we deserved with Drogba hitting home from close range after running onto a Mandy through ball. We had one last chance to score as Copperhorse about shattered the crossbar from the edge of the area after a loose ball by the Blyth defence.

September 8th:
Alfreton (North Street, Alfreton) (12/46)
The game was not even a minute old when Alfreton had the ball in the back of the net with a low shot from six yards however it was ruled out for a foul on Salkster. On the 13th minute Alfreton had another chance with a curling effort which stung the fingers of Bagpuss. We were being overrun and on the 33rd minute they had another chance as they ripped the defence apart but the finishing was as poor as the defending. Four minutes later Alfreton finally got the goal they deserved as D.Bacon rose above the defence and headed a cross past Bagpuss.
The second half was just as bad as we were being outplayed and out thought. Luckily for us though the Alfreton attack was as inept as our whole team. Not a great performance and we were lucky not to have conceded a cricket score

September 12th:
Hereford (Edgar Street, Hereford) (13/46)
Another Poor game for us as we failed to get anywhere near the Hereford defence or goal. The first half was dominated by the Hereford side and if it wasn’t for the brilliance of Bagpuss we would have been several goals down by the end of the first half.
The second half was much the same with Hereford dominating the possession. We managed only the one shot on target in the half as Drogba rattled the crossbar from outside the area. Hereford finally got the goal they deserved with five minutes remaining in the game as B.Ash ran through the defence and rounded Bagpuss to slot the ball into the empty net. A dire game for us but a lucky game.

[mark wilson27]

September 15th:
Kettering (The Rejection Arena) (14/46)
A poor start saw Kettering take the lead on the 10th minute as W.Carvalho headed past Bagpuss with ease. Kettering carried on the forward pressure and on the 38th minute had the chance to double the lead from the penalty spot after Dalbeider fouled in the area, luckily for us the Kettering strikers aim was as poor as Dalbeider’s challenge and the ball went well wide of the post.
The second half better for us as we started to actually play that thing called football, however it took us till the 72nd minute for us to grab the equaliser as Copperhorse volleyed in a WLKRAS cross to give the Kettering keeper no chance of saving. With three minutes remaining in the game we got the winner the second half deserved as WLKRAS whipped a brilliant freekick into the top corner after Neilhoskins was fouled twenty five yards out.

September 19th:
Bamber Bridge (The Rejection Arena) FA Cup 2nd Qualifying Rd
We again started poorly and on the 18th minute we went a goal down as A.Waddecar curled the ball past Bagpuss and into the net. However after the goal we started to play and just after the half hour we had a goal ruled out for offside after Drogba timed his run just wrong.
The second half was ten minutes old when we another goal disallowed for a so called foul from Neilhoskins on the keeper. I was furious as it was nowhere near a foul. We carried on the forward pressure with attack after attack but we just couldn’t get through the Bamber Bridge defence and we were knocked out of the cup. After the game I was furious with the referee and let him know and to the local press in attendance

[mark wilson27]

September 22nd:
Ashton Utd (Hurst Cross, Ashton-under-Lyne) (15/46)
For once it was us lot that started well and on the 14th minute we grabbed the lead as Drogba ran through the defence with ease and fired under the onrushing keeper. We were controlling the game with real ease but for all our pressure we couldn’t get past the Ashton keeper in the first half.
The second half was much the same as we piled on the forward pressure and on the 69th minute we had our next major chance as Drogba fired wide from the penalty spot after WLKRAS was brought down in the area. We were all over the Ashton defence but they couldn’t be broken down.

September 26th:
Hyde (The Rejection Arena) (16/46)
Five minutes into the game we grabbed the lead with a rasping effort from Neilhoskins which gave the keeper no chance at all of saving. It didn’t get any better for  Hyde as on the 20th minute they were reduced to ten men after M.Elstone  was given a straight red for a professional foul in the area, Drogba stepped up and fired the penalty wide of the post after sending the keeper the wrong way. We carried on the pressure but couldn’t add anymore goals in the first half.
The second half was much the same as we piled on the pressure but it took till the 85th minute for us to grab the killer goal as Neilhoskins again rattled the ball in from outside the area to give us a comfortable win

September 29th:
Darlington (The Rejection Arena) (17/46)
Like the last game we went a goal up on the 5th minute as Drogba barged through the defence and fired in low past the Darlington keeper. However unlike the previous game the early goal seemed to affect the play and we struggled to get close to the Darlington goal. Luckily for us the Darlington team were just as bad.
The second half wasn’t much better with little in the way of actual football and neither our side or the Darlington side came close to scoring. However three points is three points and I’m happy with that

Chester (The Deva Stadium, Chester) (18/46)
Chester started the better but it took them till the 33rd minute for them to get close to the goal with a curling effort which had Sherm at full stretch to save. Eight minutes later they had another chance with a low shot which was diverted wide by CFuller.
The second half was alittle better for us as after my half time words we actually started to play and on the 59th minute Neilhoskins fired just wide of the post from ten yards. Twelve minutes later we had another chance with Drogba feeding the ball to the feet of Neilhoskins who fired it with power straight at the keepers hands. We were all over the Chester side and deep into injury time we finally got the winner with a thunderous effort from Neilhoskins which about burst the back of the net. It was truly a game of two halves

October 13th: 
Southport (The Rejection Arena, Matlock) (19/46)
Southport were the better side to start with as they piled on the pressure and on the 13th minute they came close to grabbing the lead but Dalbeider saved the day with a fine tackle. Soon after they had another chance but this time Sherm blocked the effort from close range. We were being outplayed with ease and on the 39th minute Dalbeider managed to block another effort with a brave challenge.
The second half wasn’t much better as the Southport side controlled play but for all their pressure they couldn’t get past the defence and we managed to hold on for an undeserved point. What was more annoying was the fact we failed to register a single effort towards goal. Not good enough boys

October 17th:
Redditch (Valley Stadium, Redditch) (20/46)
After the last game you lot responded well with some much better play and on the 12th  minute we came close with a curling effort from WLKRAS which stung the fingers of the keeper. Nine minutes later I was forced into a change as Gavrenwick came on for injured CFuller. On the 27th minute we took the lead as Drogba jinked through the defence and slotted in under the Redditch keeper. It got even better five minutes later as Neilhoskins fired in from the penalty spot after Drogba was brought down in the area. Just before the break we had one more chance as a long ball over the top by Salkster was volleyed just over by Copperhorse.
The second half was a different story with Redditch piling forward and on the 52nd minute they pulled a goal back with a thunderous effort from J.Cooke which Sherm managed to tip onto the post but the ball bounced the wrong side and went in. Ten minutes later they had another chance with some excellent play which split my defence apart but Sherm saved brilliantly. We were again being outplayed and deep into injury time Redditch got the equaliser they deserved as H.Evans headed a cross past Sherm who flapped at the ball. Not impressed!!!!

October 20th:
Matlock Town (Causeway Lane, Matlock) (21/46)
So its Derby time as we faced a trip just down the road to Causeway Lane. We began well and on the 12th minute Neilhoskins headed wide a BenArsenal cross when it was easier to score. Eight minutes later Mandy clipped the crossbar from outside the area after running onto a loose ball. We were in complete control and on the half hour we finally got the goal we deserved as Copperhorse dinked the ball over the keeper from 30 yards to silence the home side. 
The second half was much the same as we piled on the pressure and on the 66th minute we got the second goal with a low shot from Drogba who had ran onto a EvilDave through ball. However three minutes later a poor clearance by Git2thachoppa was intercepted and fired back underneath him and into the back of the net. It was the only piece of action though for the home side as after that we carried on the pressure and with five minutes remaining in the game we put it too bed with Drogba grabbing his second of the game with a well struck volley.

October 24th:
Gateshead (The Rejection Arena, Matlock) (22/46)
A poor game for everyone who came to watch with very little in the way of play. The first half was a pretty dire affair as neither my side or the Gateshead side came close to oppositions goal.
The second half wasn’t much better with more dire play from both sides., It just wasn’t good enough for the fans and they let us know how they felt with a chorus of boo’s at the end of the match. I expect to see you all in training tomorrow

October 31st:
Bradford PA (The Rejection Arena, Matlock) (23/46)
We were by far the better side and on the 7th minute we had the ball in the back of the net with Drogba heading in a Gavrenwick cross but the goal was ruled out for a foul on the keeper. On the 24th minute we managed to get the goal we deserved as Neilhoskins ran through the defence with the ball and fired with pace under the Bradford keeper. Straight from kick off it got even better as Gavrenwick hit an unstoppable effort from outside the area to give the keeper no chance. We were in complete control throughout the half.
The second half was much the same as we dominated but just after the hour mark Bradford grabbed a goal back with L.Hughes heading in past Git2thachoppa who somewhat flapped at the ball. This was about all Bradford could offer as we controlled every aspect of the game and deep into injury time we got the killer goal as WLKRAS curled in a freekick from twenty yards after BenArsenal was brought down. A great performance guys, shame about not getting a clean sheet

Ten minutes into the game we had our first chance of the game with a low shot from Drogba which beat the keeper but not the upright. On the 23rd minute we had another chance with Neilhoskins rising above the defence but his final effort from Mark Wilson’s cross went just over the crossbar. Just before the break we had our final chance as EvilDave went straight into the keepers arms when it was easier to score
The second half was a different story as Kettering upped the gears and on the 68th minute they broke through the defence with ease and fired under Git2thachoppa. Ten minutes later they had another chance as a cross was poorly dealt with by my keeper but luckily for him the strikers final effort was dire. On the stroke of full time Kettering had the chance to kill the game off as G.Johnson fired a penalty high and wide over the goal after a long range effort was handled by Rien.

It didn’t get any better for us as deep into injury time Basford won the game with B.Erickson slotting in from close range after some woeful defending, not a great result again lads

Blyth (Croft Park, Blyth) (25/46)
The game was pretty much ruined for us in the 21st minute as BenArsenal received a second yellow card which was proceeded by the red. After that Blyth piled on the pressure and if it wasn’t for some great defending by my side and especially Rien we would have been a few goals down by half time.
The second half was much the same with Blyth dominating every aspect of the game but our back line showed the rest of the team how to play. Looks like another early morning training session for you lot

It was far too easy for us but we couldn’t get close to the goal in the rest of the half.

The first half belonged to Nuneaton as they controlled the half with ease and on the 23rd minute they opened the scoring with a long range effort from J.Kettle which Git2thachoppa should have done better with. Seven minutes later it was two nil with a well worked team move which split the defence apart with ease and S.Beckwith finished it with ease past Git2thachoppa.
The half time interval saw me about burst a blood vessel at you lot and it seemed to work as six minutes into the half we pulled a goal back as Rien headed a WLKRAS cross past the keeper and into the net. Soon after we had another chance as Tenthreeleader rattled the crossbar from outside the area. We were controlling the half and on the 73rd minute we scored the equaliser as EvilDave hit a curling effort into the top corner to give us a share of the points.

January 2nd:
King’s Lynn (The Walks Stadium, King’s Lynn) (30/46)
Within the first minute of the game we took the lead as M.Wilson beat the offside trap and fired with pace under the onrushing keeper. However on the 14th minute we let ourselves down as C.Ball beat the defence with far too much ease and fired past Bagpuss. Four minutes later another poor piece of defending saw C.Smith heading in after the defence again fell asleep. We were out of our depth as King’s Lynn dominated. On the 34th minute was forced into a change as WLKRAS who came on for the injured Mandy.
The second half was twelve minutes old when we levelled the scores as Tenthreeleader ran onto a Mark Wilson through ball to slot home. However King’s Lynn started to get control of the game and dominated but this time my defence did well but with seven minutes remaining in the game King’s Lynn won the game with a jammy goal as E.Hartshorn cross screwed off his foot and looped over Bagpuss who was helpless to save it.

Guiseley (Nethermoor, Guiseley) (31/46)
A dire start saw us a goal down within a minute as A.Martin beat the offside trap and fired with pace past Bagpuss. It didn’t get any better as on the 19th minute Guiseley made it two nil with a thunderous effort from A.Martin which gave my keeper no chance of saving. It was one way traffic and on the 38th minute they made it three nil with A.Petrovics slotting home from close range after some woeful defending.
The second half was a lot better as you lot actually decided to play and on the 56th minute we pulled a goal back with Copperhorse hitting home from ten yards after running onto a BenArsenal through ball. We carried on the pressure but we struggled to break down a stubborn defence. Deep into injury time Guiseley were reduced to ten men after D.Barkers was sent off for a professional foul, from the resulting freekick Neilhoskins scored the goal to make it 3-2 but it was too little too late. Just too note it wasn’t the cleanest of games with twelve yellow cards and a red. Six of those yellow cards coming from my side

January 23rd
Gateshead (Gateshead International Stadium, Gateshead) (32/46)
We started brightly with some great attacking football and on the 17th minute we had our first real effort with Copperhorse hitting the crossbar from ten yards when it was easier to score. Eight minutes later Neilhoskins had his first chance with a  great freekick which stung the fingers of the keeper. We were in complete control and on the 32nd minute we finally broke the deadlock as Tenthreeleader headed home another Neilhoskins freekick to silence to Gateshead crowd.
The second half was much the same as we dominated play but on the 63rd minute I was forced into a change as a late challenge on Tenthreeleader saw him being replaced by Drogba after receiving a nasty gash to his leg. Twelve minutes later we had yet another chance this time with Drogba as he ran through the defence but his final effort was dire and the ball went high and wide of the post. With two minutes remaining Neilhoskins had the final chance of the game with a low effort which the Gateshead keeper managed to tip round the post.

January 26^th:

AFC Telford (The Rejection Arena, Matlock) (33/46)

Four minutes into the game I was forced into a change as Dalbeider replaced the injured CFuller. Ten minutes later though we had the first chance as a long ball over the top from Salkster was half volleyed by Neilhoskins just wide of the post. On the 38^th minute we had another chance to score as Mandy ran through the defence but his final effort went straight into the keeper arms

The second half though was a different story as three minutes in A.Williams headed in for Telford. On the hour they had another chance but this time Bagpuss saved the day with a fine save. We were being outplayed in the second half and on the 77^th minute Telford had yet another chance with a thunderous effort towards the top corner which was tipped over by Bagpuss. With nine minutes remaining in the game Telford grabbed the killer goal as T.Fleary jinked through the defence with ease and slotted in under my keeper.

January 30^th:

Redditch (The Rejection Arena, Matlock) (34/46)

The game started well and on the 14^th minute Neilhoskins fired in from the penalty spot after Copperhorse was brough down in the area. Just before the half hour we grabbed another goal with Drogba running into the area unmarked and headed a Mandy cross into the top corner past the keeper. With six minutes remaining in the half though Redditch pulled a goal back as Salkster handled in the area and T.Derry fired in the resulting penalty.

The second half was pretty tight in truth with not much in the way of football. On the 77^th minute we were reduced to ten men after Mark Wilson was sent off for a two footed lunge. Luckily the numeral advantage didn’t pay off for Redditch and on the 88^th minute Drogba fired in our third goal to give us all three points

The end of the month sees us move down to 3^rd spot after a poor month. Gateshead have moved up to top spot on 65pts from 34 games with Telford a point behind after playing a game less.

The bottom of the table remains the same with Brackley and Farsley propping up the everyone.

February 6^th:

The FA have got back to me regarding Mark Wilsons red card against Redditch and he has been given an extra two match ban for the two footed lunge. 

Hyde (Ewen Fields, Hyde) (35/46)

Hyde began the better and on the 17^th minute they came close to grabbing the lead with a long range effort which had Bagpuss at full stretch to save. However seven minutes later they took the lead they deserved with a low shot from D.Turner which gave my keeper no chance of saving. On the half hour they had yet another chance with a curling effort which beat the keeper but Salkster managed to get back and clear off the line. With six minutes remaining in the half we grabbed an unlikely equaliser as we countered a Hyde attack and BenArsenal finished the move off with a wells truck effort.

The second half was all us as you lot reacted to a few choice from me. The half was three minutes old when we had the first chance of the half with Drogba heading wide of the post. On the 56^th minute we had another chance as EvilDave rattled the crossbar from outside the area after spotting the keeper off his line. Five minutes later we grabbed the lead as Drogba completed a great team move with a daisy cutter which gave the keeper no chance of saving. We were all over Hyde and on the 78^th minute we had the final chance of the game with a thunderous effort from Drogba which clipped the top of the crossbar to go into the crowd. A great second half lads

“You've been sent off, Mark. You know what this means.” Mark told himself.

“A week's wages, I know.” Mark replied.

Mark put his hand in his pocket and took the money, placing it on the table.

Mark nodded.

February 13^th:

Matlock Town (The Rejection Arena, Matlock) (36/46)

We started the better and controlled the ball a lot better than Matlock and on the 24^th minute we took the lead as Neilhoskins beat the offside trap and fired low past the keeper. Ten minutes later we had another chance with a powerful strike from Drogba which stung the fingers of the keeper.

The second half was four minutes old when we added a second goal as Neilhoskins ran onto a WLKRAS through ball and fired low under the onrushing keeper. We were all over the Matlock side and on the 67^th minute we made it three nil with Drogba rising above the defence and heading a Gavrenwick cross over the Matlock Town keeper. Matlock weren’t getting near us and on the 87^th minute we had the final chance of the game with a rasping effort from Man of the Match Neilhoskins which was tipped round the post by the keeper

February 20^th:

Chester (The Rejection Arena, Matlock) (37/46)

We were by far the better side and on the 21^st minute we took the lead as Mandy fired in from close range after running onto a cross. We had another chance soon after but the Chester keeper saved brilliantly to deny us. Chester never got close to the ball throughout the first half.

The second half was much the same as we dominated without really getting close to the opposition goal. However on the 84^th minute we killed the game off as Copperhorse barged into the area and fired with pace past the keeper to give us all three points.

February 27^th:

Southport (Haig Avenue, Southport) (38/46)

We again started well and on the 17^th minute Drogba fired the ball towards goal but the Southport keeper saved well. Ten minutes later we had another chance with WLKRAS rattling the upright from a freekick after EvilDave was brought down on the way to goal. It was one way traffic and just before the break Drogba had another chance with a low shot which the Southport keeper managed to tip round the post.

The second half was all us again and on the 67^th minute Copperhorse beat the offside trap and fired towards goal but yet again the Southport keeper kept the scores at 0-0. With three minutes remaining in the game we had a clear cut chance to win as Tenthreeleaders penalty was well saved by the keeper after he was brought down in the area.

Boston Utd (The Rejection Arena, Matlock) (39/46)

A good start saw us taking the lead on the 13^th minute as Mandy hit home from outside the area after running onto a WLKRAS through ball. Ten minutes later we had another chance with a curling effort from Neilhoskins which beat the keeper but not the crossbar. We were controlling the game and on the stroke of half time we had another chance with EvilDave heading just wide of the post from a Mandy cross.

The second half was two minutes old when we added a second goal with Tenthreeleader hitting home from close range after barging through the defence. On the hour though Boston came close to pulling a goal back with a rasping effort which had Sherm at full stretch to save. It didn’t take long till we had the next chance as Neilhoskins tried his luck from just inside the area but the Boston keeper saved well to deny him. Deep into injury time we had our final effort as Mandy hit a thunderous effort into the top corner from the edge of the area to give us all three points and three goals.

Basford (Greenwich Avenue, Nottingham) (40/46)

We were the better side from the start and on the 12^th minute we came close as CFuller crossed into the area but Neilhoskins failed to connect with the header. Soon after we had another chance with Tenthreeleader firing just wide of the upright after breaking free of the defence. It was becoming too easy and on the 38^th minute we finally took the lead as EvilDave fired in from the edge of the area after running onto a CFuller through ball.

The second half was much the same as we dominated play but we just couldn’t get through the defensive wall that Basford had put up. On the 80^th minute Basford were reduced to ten men after V.Milton picked up a second yellow card which was followed by the red.

Farsley (Throstle Nest, Pudsey) (41/46)

Farsley had the first chance of the game with a long range effort which had Git2thachoppa at full stretch to save. On the 18^th minute we had our first effort as WLKRAS crossed into the area but Neilhoskins headed straight into the keepers arms. Six minutes later we had another chance with BenArsenal fired in off the crossbar but the goal was ruled out for a foul in the build up. With nine minutes remaining in the half we broke the deadlock as Tenthreeleader barged into the area and fired under the onrushing keeper

The second half was much the same as we controlled the attacking play and on the 74^th minute we had the chance to kill the tie off with Drogba curling the ball just wide of the post. We were all over Farsley but on the stroke of full time we conceded a silly goal with C.Saydee sliding the ball in from a low cross which my defence should have done a lot better in dealing with

March 27^th:

Spennymoor (The Rejection Arena, Matlock) (42/46)

A dire game in truth with very little in the way of action. The first half was centred in the middle of the pitch with neither side managing to string more than a few passes together.

The second half wasn’t much better with yet again some dire play from both my side and Spennymoor side. In truth a real dire ninety minutes

April 3^rd:

Darlington (Blackwell Meadows, Darlington) (43/46)

Like the previous game the first half wasn’t really up to much with some poor play. The only chance on the half saw Tenthreeleader barging through the Darlington defence but his final effort was pretty damn poor and went well wide of the post.

The second half was eight minutes old when the first goal was scored as Darlington piled forward and D’Mani Mellor hit home from twenty five yards to give Bagpuss no chance of saving. However that was pretty much it for the rest of the game with both my side and the Darlington side doing little in the way of attacking football.
