We go into September in a great position in the league. The transfer window is now shut so this is pretty much the squad we have until January. We are probably performing above expectations so far but the first month has proved that we can compete at the top of this league so we need to take that forward and push on.

What an impressive attacking performance from the boys, this is why you can't get in the team Jordan Burrow! Ross Dyer keeps up his red hot start to the season with a hat-trick whilst winger Jamie Jackson scores his first two goals of the season to seal a big win. Defensively we let in a couple of sloppy goals in an otherwise perfect performance.

Another away trip to Aggborough now to face mid-table Kidderminster. Ross Dyer is winning us games on his own at the moment and it was his brace that secured the 3 points on the day. This was the first time this season we've kept an unchanged side and it shows we may have found our strongest side.

This was a battle of the top two teams in the league, Wrexham were always going to be up there and with this win we show we can compete with them. We fell behind twice but goals from Jordan Burrow (yes he got his chance and took it, our chat obviously had some impact) and Jamie Frost sealed a big win for us, even if it is this early on in the season. Scott Boden was the stand out player with a goal and an assist.

Another win for us and another goal spree, we're involved in really exciting games at the moment! It was that man, Jordan Burrow, who proved to be the hero with a hat-trick, he has really stepped up since our chat, good job too otherwise he would be out of the club. Kieron Morris got a hat-trick of assists too on a top attacking performance. We only went in front with 5 minutes left so a bit of a ****** and grab win.

This is on paper, our hardest fixture of the season. Newly-relegated Tranmere are big favourites to go straight back up this season and we've only gone and beaten them in their own back yard! We went 2-0 up and were flying only to be pegged back by 2 late Andy Mangan goals but a fantastic bit of play by Esteban Lopez on the left wing and a great cross put it on a plate for Scott Boden to tap in in injury time to seal a huge win and consolidate our place at the top of the league.

Next up is a trip to Haig Avenue to face lowly Southport. We were on cloud 9 after Scott Boden's late winner at Tranmere but we couldn't get the win today. Jordan Burrow has really stepped up and scored the equaliser with 10 minutes left to avoid defeat. After this game Burrow had something to say...

Our worst performance so far this season, I think this tops the Lincoln game. In front of our own fans we were outclassed by a mediocre Altrincham side. Our defensive record is abysmal as we haven't kept a clean sheet all month, not even close to be honest with you. Ross Dyer got another goal to add to his tally, but Graham Hutchinson at the back was woeful, he needs to step it up to get back into the side after this performance.

This was a good win against one of the better sides in the division - last seasons play-off finalists. We fell 2-0 down after 4 minutes and there was flashbacks to the Altrincham game, I feared the worst. But fair play to the lads to come back and ****** the win, Andy Bishop, Elliott Whitehouse and Ross Dyer won the game for us, but it came at another cost for Elliott...

His second injury of the season already, this is worrying.

We end September 4 points clear at the top after wins against Tranmere and Wrexham who are in 2nd and 3rd, a long way to go yet though.

An awards double for the club and I owe a lot of it to Ross Dyer after his 8 goals in 8 games helped me massively win Manager of the Month.

Only 4 league games in October, Eastleigh is the tough one but we have 3 winnable games against Guiseley, Bromley and Boreham Wood (all newly promoted). We should be pushing on and maintaining top stop if we are serious title contenders.

We face Nantwich Town away, I don't know a lot about them, nothing in fact, but we are massive favourites to progress!
