Sturrock 71

Thought we were gonna nick it, a great ten minutes before and after the goal gave us real belief, but as we began to tire they took advantage and showed there class.
Nuneaton 0-2 Bury

Welcome to the football league, Bury gave us a big lesson here, definitely need to take any chances that come our way or were gonna get punished.


Rochdale 3-1 Nuneaton
Connelly 12
View attachment 451242
Thought a shock may have been on the cards when Reece Connelly gave us a early lead, but again we seen how tough this division is and Rochdale gave us a lesson in the 2nd half.


Nuneaton 4-1 Hartlepool
Jones 32,44, Walker 45+1, Carole 62

Big Relief, really needed those 3 points to calm us down, showed how dangerous we could be and hopefully that will give us the big push we need.


Nuneaton 2-2 Bristol Rovers
Connelly pen 45+4, Ashton 90+1
View attachment 451240
Mixed emotions really, Quite poor in the first half and was lucky with the penalty, but again we never gave up and got a deserved equalizer late on.


League Table
View attachment 451239Well overall not a bad start to the month, quite pleased that we are now starting to settle after a bit of a shaky start, also brought in Centre Back Jack Broadhead on a free transfer.

So we've had a big shake up over the summer, i felt we needed some new faces. Our New signings include experienced pro's Dave Kitson, Michael Rose and Steven Schumacher who will make us a much more solid unit, and also youth such as Frankie Sutherland and Rolando Aarons. Our Coup of the summer is Louis Laing, Signed on a free transfer from Sunderland and is certainly someone who could lead us to glory.

Out

During the summer we've also let quite a few players leave the club, these include; Blair Sturrock, Gethin Jones, James Armson, Jon Adams and Mat Harrold. we've also loaned out Sebastien Carole, Andy Brown, Jack broadhead and a few youngsters.​
