Pre-Season 2024/25




We began pre-season with a bit of good news as the board agreed to send me on my next coaching course. I can't thank them enough for being so understanding.

Transfers Out



Before pre-season began we saw a few players leave on free transfers as clubs began to plan their squads for the season. None of these players were going to stick around anyway so I wasn't too fussed to let them go. It just meant a month of not paying their wages which can only help our financial situation.



Here's who we released, probably no surprises in there for the fans.



Those outgoings left the squad looking like this going into pre-season. Thin, extremely thin. I knew that it was going to be a busy summer.

Transfers In



Going into pre-season we did have a little wage budget to play for which meant I could improve the squad a little. That being said, I was wary about going to big on the bonus side of things just in case we have a good season again.



Significantly more incomings in comparison to last season as you would expect. I feel like we've made some pretty shrewd signings for this level and I'm excited to see how the likes of Gethyn Hill and Ian Kamga can improve the squad. We have a really solid keeper in Alex Hammond which I hope will help us defensively. I feel like James Dineley was definitely an issue in goal last season.

2024/25 Squad



Pre-season Results




Much like last season, a perfect pre-season. I made a few tactical tweaks midway through after we conceded two in consecutive games. I ditched the 4-3-3 in favour of a 4-4-2. Well, a 4-2-4 given we are using attacking wingers. That seemed to work as we kept two clean sheets to round out pre-season, though we did score less. We'll have to keep an eye on that as the season progresses.

Season Objectives



The board wants us to repeat last season and go up automatically. In terms of the cups, they want us to be competitive in the FA Cup, whatever that means. I guess that means just don't get embarrassed. They also want us to reach the latter stages of the FA Vase and challenge for the Macron Cup, both of which are very doable if you ask me.



The media are predicting us to win the league at a canter, clearly believing we have the best squad. Interesting that another promoted side, Darwen, are predicted to finish 2nd. That would suggest there's much difference between level 9 and level 10 in terms of player quality.

A very good way to start the season. We had to battle hard but we were eventually able to get the win through a late Joe Smyth-Ferguson goal

The Emirates FA Cup Extra Preliminary Round
Sat, 3/8/2024



An easy win in our first FA Cup game. Skegness Town never looked like threatening our goal and the win was a comfortable one in the end.

Things you love to see! A dominant display as we put 5 past Northwich Victoria without reply. The best part about it is that they couldn't even muster a shot on target.

North West Counties League Premier Division
Sat, 10/8/2024



I'm a little disappointed that we conceded a goal but once again we were absolutely dominant so I can't complain too much. Hopefully this will be the theme for the season.

Wed, 14/8/2024



Ah, I spoke to soon. We were awful in the first-half and I had to lay into the players during the interval. That said, I'm happy with the way they were able to fight back and earn a point away from home.

Sat, 17/8/2024



Better, much better. A good performance and win for the lads to put the setback against Irlam behind us. Just what we needed.

We sailed through without really getting out of second gear. We were just too good for Bridlington.

A clean sheet and an easy win.

Wed, 28/8/2024



Time for the short trip down the M53 and I have to give credit where it's due, their keeper has basically single-handedly saved their bacon. A stunning performance from Booth means we couldn't break the deadlock against our local rivals.

The Emirates FA Cup First Qualifying Round
Sat, 31/8/2024



A sluggish start but we improved as the game went on and deserved to go through to the next round of the cup.

I'm disappointed that we conceded twice but at the end of the day, it's a good win and three more points.

Four goals in a game seems to be the theme for us at the moment and long may it continue because it's a joy to watch. Louis White was excellent again, he's been superb so far this season.

Marine look destined to be playing National League North football next season so we knew this would be a tough game and that's what it proved to be. That being said, we are in the hat and you never know with the FA Cup.

News:

Tue, 17/9/2024



I said you never know and low and behold, the unexpected happens. What a rollercoaster of emotions. The fury of going 2-0 down early to the high of coming back to going 3-2 up. Then the despair at conceding a late equaliser only for the elation of a win on penalties. I need a drink.

An excellent performance sees us into the next round of the FA Vase. We never gave Beverley Town a chance.

Incredible. With the third qualifying round of the FA Cup coming up, we rotated the side heavily. Not only did our heavily rotated side win, but they absolutely BATTERED Burscough. It just shows the strength in depth that we have in the squad.

The Emirates FA Cup Third Qualifying Round
Sat, 28/9/2024



It took a late comeback but we managed to get a replay from our trip to Ashton Utd. Credit to the lads who never gave up and deserved to get the draw.

Back to league action and a routine win away at Colne. Excellent defensively again and scoring goals for fun, happy days.

Wed, 9/10/2024



A rare off day for our men up top. Luckily for us, Louis White was able to find the net from the penalty spot but we really should have put 4/5 past Prestwich Hays.

The Emirates FA Cup Fourth Qualifying Round
Sat, 12/10/2024



GET IN THERE! It was a tough game at Macclesfield but Jamie Timlin popped up late on to score and put us into the FA CUP PROPER. Stunning scenes.

Talk about a game of two halves. Nothing happened in the first and it was probably the most boring I've ever seen but the game came to life after the hour mark. Delighted we did enough to get the win but there's definitely room for improvement defensively.

News

Now then, this is interesting. Runcorn Linnets from the league above have approached me regarding their manager's job. I've decided to at least speak to them to see what they are offering.

North West Counties League Premier Division
Sat, 26/10/2024



I think the Runcorn Linnets news affected the lads because we were off the pace at Longridge Town. The game looked like it was petering out to a draw before Ian Kamga provided a last-minute winner for us. Excellent stuff.

News



You having a laugh? Take a pay cut to manage in the league above? Nah.



On the back of me turning down Runcorn Linnets, the board has given me a new deal with a £10 a week payrise. Best make sure I don't spend it all at once.

That's more like it. A first-half blitz meant the game was effectively over after 23 minutes.

Superb from the lads, absolutely superb. I fancied our chances at Mickleover but never did I think we would put six past them. Gethyn Hill was particularly good, running rings around their defenders.

News

Ashville to play away at Peterborough in the FA Cup 2nd Round. A massive game! They are a League One club who draw decent crowds so this should benefit us massively on the financial side of things.



Tom Armitage leaves the club to join Hucknall Town on a free transfer. He did nothing but complain about game time and when he did play he was rubbish so he isn't really a big loss to us.

A Jamie Timlin masterclass. He was on fire, scoring a hat-trick to give us a 3-1 win.

Safely into the next round with a very good performance at home against Cheadle Town. We probably could have scored more but I'm happier with the clean sheet more than anything.

I rotated the side heavily as we look ahead to our FA Cup 2nd round tie at Peterborough. The plan backfired though as they second string players were unable to get the win. On the bright side, at least we didn't lose the game.

The Emirates FA Cup Second Round
Sat, 30/11/2024



What a stunning effort from the lads that is. Not only did we score two against League One Peterborough, but we also took the lead. Yes, the quality of the League One outfit shone through in the end but what a moment for the whole club. Did I mention Peterborough play in League One!?

I'd suggest that the scoreline flatters Whitchurch Alport a little bit. We were by far the better side all game, we just missed a few chances which is unlike us.

There were some choice words at half-time. We were awful in the first 45. In the second 45, we played like prime Barcelona under Pep Guardiola and romped to a 4-0 win. Football's a funny old sport.

After the draw at their place and delighted that we could get the better of Irlam here. We go into the new year sitting pretty at the top, still unbeaten in the league.
