Wrexham have lost most of the players they tried to keep and are having to totally rebuild.

I just don't see Gary Mills as a very good man manager, vastly over rated IMO.

I too think Torquay will do ok, plus Barrow, Eastleigh ( is Arnold going there?) FGR & Tranmere ( although I don't rate Brabin who will be sacked if they don't start well)

Braintree to struggle along with Nth Ferriby

Soft spot: Wrexham. For their fans. Sort of a Welsh Grimsby.

Like a lot of people, I reckon Lincoln will do better this season and won't be disappointed to see them go up via the play offs.

Obviously FGR should do well, but I hope not.
Eastleigh - hmmmm, they're an enigma. Have spent a lot but not done well enough. Don't feel as negative about them as FGR, but I'm not sure why. Maybe there's less arrogance about them.
Tranmere - it's either do it this season or be prepared for a long stay down.
Dover? Seem to be leaking their better players. Depends on how well they recruit.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Think a Wrexham / Tranmere double at the bookies might be attractive.


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

On what basis? Wrexham let near enough their full squad leave at the end of the season and offered deals to about 6 or 7 and from what i've seen about 3 took that option so a complete rebuild there. Obviously I don't know the ins and outs there but they weren't a million miles away last year and don't think they looked a bad team so don't know the reason for the complete rebuild? Finances maybe?

Yes Cheltenham showed it can be done but to be fair Gary Johnson is a very good manager, too good for that level I'd suggest. How many other times have you seen clubs with total rebuilds go and win the league? Not many.

I've a soft spot for York City, as I've lived there for the last 36 years, however they are currently in such disarray that they could really struggle next year, which is a pity as it is always a great awayday.

Am I missing something here?

Wrexham have lost the majority if not all of their good players...

I think most would like Lincoln to join us in the league,

We will miss a derby games next season unless you include Donny,

It was always interesting when the 3 Lincolnshire teams were in the same division.
