Reading back that thread, I'd forgotten how grim it was going into every game knowing you were almost certainly going to lose.

Isn't it strange how that feeling drifts away, as gradually, by bit things have improved (thanks to the board there!!!!!). I think this and last season I'd go into any game ...

Get in!!!!!!

Great news and well done to everyone concerned in the commercial team for bringing NRG UK Group onboard as the clubs new sponsor.

The logo looks great on the shirts.

The positives:

Wherever possible the lads tried to get the ball on the floor and play positive attacking football!

A good physical encounter against a decent side - much more representative of what we'll play in the league.

The negatives:

Both goals were a bit soft, defence falling asleep a bit ...

Midfielder Joel Nketia joins - former Newport Pagnell captain.

Tarik Dallas confirmed as staying now also

Nice to see some action quickly after the new manager has arrived.

Looks like a decent choice. And seems to have the contacts and enthusiasm and share the clubs values. Hopefully we can get behind him and push on as a club. Looking forward to seeing the signings start to line up. Hopefully soon.

A real shame.

My one hope for the close season was to retain the core of this squad and build on it - however that looks unlikely.

It'll all be down to this appointment - hope the ...

It won't go down as a classic match, but a resilient defensive display to churn out a result against a higher opposition.

Especially considering the number of defensive absentees.

The sort of game we'd have definitely lost i. Recent previous seasons.
