Be like the PL and Euros, you have to do them in blocks. Really don't see the issue. We have more options from the bench more of our squad are now involved on maths day and hopefully less frustrations from lads being left out. It's not going to be in blocks though, it is like that everywhere else except the National League + NLN/S. The game can now get stopped ten times for subs. The National League are going against the grain, as they often tend to do. Yes. The issue is that we've often struggled to break teams down that come to the Deva for a point, and now they have five separate opportunities to break the game up. Absolutely clueless from the NL, and the fact that a change like this has been so poorly communicated is typical. |

Question - regarding time added on, have they made a statement how they work this out? The Euros went back to standardised timings, rather than the World Cup add ‘as much as you like on’. |

Good question. With 30 seconds a sub, and potentially 10 can be made in the second half, that's 5 minutes plus adding on time wasting and injuries. Never going to see a 5pm finish again! |

I can see how it pans out now, Billy Heath and his team of dog-shite recruits arrive at the Deva. Go 1-0 up, play acting, goal keeper taking his time with goal kicks. Then with 10 minutes to go, every 2 minutes he brings a player off the bench. (5 Subs). Then the ref gives 3 minutes added time?
Welcome back to the NLN
For teams/games like this, lets play them at their own game. Draft in a massive team of ball boys/girls around the pitch so when the ball goes out of play it goes straight back on.

I don't know why we have the youth team of the week from the local area we don't use them as ball boys/girls. Same with our actual youth team age groups. |

An hour before the line-up is revealed. Looks like we’re free of injury, so it’ll be interesting to see who misses out. FWIW here is how I think we’ll line up today:
Mason
Burke
Pollock
Williams
Rawlinson
Woodthorpe
Bainbridge
Hancox
Weeks
Caton
Willoughby
Subs
Turner
Glendon
Murray
Hunter
Peers

Cal may play Burke at left back, but personally I feel Woodthorpe deserves to start. I'd feel Cal will probably start Peers, but I'd prefer Caton. Though he'd also be a really handy sub once the game opens up late on. Will Cal leave Glendon out? That's the big question. We'd be more solid with Hancox in there next to Bainbridge and Weeks has done well pre-season. |

Apart from the formation and most of the players, I was pretty much spot on there...

Southport fan here and I would say I have you down as winning the league think you’ve got a good side. However i think purely on strongest 11 all fit we would actually be very close to you obviously anything can happen in a game and over a season so would be interested to hear Chester fans opinion on how we will do. Renshaw Minihan Moore Keane NKP Doyle Lloyd spooner Philiskirk Carver Owolabi Amazing mate I think you'd win the league above with that side* *never heard of any of them They’re up to sixth at the minute. We are 14th. |

Didn’t have to trawl, to be fair, I just remember it being a bit of a dick comment to make to a friendly fan of another club who was quite complementary in his post. And now seeing them win last night and move up into the playoffs as we’ve tumbled down the league it just reminded me of this thread.
Perhaps there is something to be said of getting the best out of a TEAM of lesser known players but who maybe fit this league a lot better than a group of big name individuals who we can’t get the best out of? Just a thought to ponder on this crisp, fresh autumns morning…

Thanks for digging this up😉 Wasn’t going to comment because it will bite me when Southport next lose and Chester win but I think if we were to play you right now we would beat you especially at home. Can’t believe in the summer most of you were adamant that no Southport players would get into your starting 11! Danny Lloyd would be your best player! Minihan and Doyle would be your wing backs (Probably), IMO Phillisirk is better than any of your current 3 in midfield, Carver would partner Willoughby, Festus Arthur walks into your Back 3.

We're 5 points behind them with 2 games in hand, hardly champions elect. |

What's your budget? Will be a lot higher than ours. I’m not sure tbh I am not that clued up on finances in the NLN but would Southports be much higher than Chester’s if at all? You’re hybrid aren’t you so that will cost more finance than us and your recruitment in the summer was impressive so I’d imagine it’s very similar if not Chester’s higher no? What I don’t get it is and some of you may be clued up on Buxton why are they full time there team is just ordinary at this level but if they’re full time surely they have money. It feels like they’re going full time but then just buying average players wouldn’t you rather be part time and have the best part time players I know I certainly would. |

Buxton, after beating us have won there next two games as well. Nothing like a confident boost eh. |

They’d lost seven in a row before they came to the Deva and won. Now they’ve won two more since. |
