Is anybody else as underwhelmed as I am at the list of pre season friendliest we’ve arranged? I understand that we need to build up to the new season but surely if we’re genuinely looking to challenge for promotion we should be setting our standards a good bit higher than the clubs we’ve currently planned to play? Maybe a further list is being planned but what Evatt expects to learn about his players against a bunch of amateurs I’m unclear!! 🤔

Only seen the Oldham game/fiasco. We do seem to punch down and not up in these friendlies. I guess the thought is that the lower teams will give a proper game and more in line with L2, as was, and L1 style. Would we learn from 90m of playing a really good technical side and then drawing Cheltenham opening game?
Very quiet. Lets hope these next weeks we see more incoming.
Only other slight news is that Parky has failed to get Hollywood backed Wrexham up even with Paul Mullin and Co. In fairness I didnt know how well backed Stockport would be but surely another failure on his CV. (Yes I know I should but no I wont move on whilst Bolton fans still think he was a good manager)

I kept a watching glance on the National League play offs
I’m only glad we are not in L2 as the prospect of facing Solihull Moors in a home fixture would be just morale sapping
Saw them beat a very poor pub side in Chesterfield (managed by Paul Cook) and they were dreadful
Watched the Wrexham game and both defences were naff. It was just a matter of, whoever could score the last goal before the clock ram down would be the victors on the day and Grimsby managed it. Header after header and the net would bulge. A great game for the neutral but a shocker for the managers.
