Fans' Player of the Season

An absolute landslide and rightfully so. Tom has come into the club and made a massive difference, winning the Golden Boot in the league and helping us to the top of the table.

Signing of the Season

See above really. It's hard to believe that we managed to get him on a free transfer. Keeping hold of him is my no 1 priority this summer.

Young Player of the Season

A clean sweep for Tom. Well deserved.

 

[Brane_Orsou]

Congrats on a great first season mate! Glad Tom did well for you! Was surprised that considering you scored the most goals in the league that none of your players featured in the top assists table

In terms of this list, everything has gone to plan bar one player who is playing hard ball when it comes to renewing his contract. That man is....Tom Heardman. The rest have all signed new deals but Tom won't budge.

What that means is that our squad currently looks like this:

With seven new faces starting, I wasn't really expecting much from our opener away at Farsley. They took a deserved lead but we battled back in the second half to get a point, which I'm more than happy with. The match stats suggest there is more to come from this side.

Sunday 9th August

The club announce that the final figure for season ticket sales is 149, up from 135 last season.

Tuesday 11th August

James Gray has been kicking off over the signing of Dylan Parker, to the point where we've fallen out and he's put in a transfer request. Crusaders have put in a bid of 7.25k which I've accepted.

What a performance! That was one of the best performances we've had during my time as Warrington boss. To call it dominant would be an understatement. If we have more performances like that then we'll definitely be battling at the right end of the table.

Wednesday 12th August

We've had one bit of bad news coming out of the game against Stratford, Andy Kellett has been ruled out for 4-5 weeks with pulled knee ligaments.

A fantastic performance away from home and a deserved win. The penalty early gave us confidence and we never looked back. I was especially impressed with Ben Garrity and Callum Harris who put in a good shift in the centre of midfield.

Awards

Absolutely delighted to win my first ever Manager of the Month award, partly due to the lack of awards in the Evo-Stik. Credit has to go the players though.

Has there ever been a more deserved Player of the Month award? Fidel has been like a man possessed so far this season!

League Table

We finish the opening month of the season at the top of the table, mostly thanks to our two beasts upfront. Whether we can stay there remains to be seen but why not? Got to dream big.

Next Month's Fixtures

Boy, do the games come thick and fast in this league compared to the Evo-Stik. It has the potential to be a tricky month with us playing three of the top 7. I think how we do next month will be a gauge of where we'll finish this season.

We were much better in this one than against Boreham Wood and deserved to pick up all three points. We restricted Brackley to just two shots inside our box, which was pleasing.

How on earth was this game 3-2? We dominated in terms of shots on goal but just couldn't put our chances away whereas York did. The main thing though is that it's another three points.

Usually, I'd give credit to the lads and talk about their performance but this one is on me and my tactical decisions. In our usual 4-2-2-2 formation, Boston were all over us as we couldn't get anything to stick up top. I decided to take off a midfielder and bring on a third striker and we managed to break the deadlock. 11 minutes later, I brought on a defender and we switched to 5 at the back, managing to grind out the result. I'm over the moon with that one.

A deserved win but I don't like the way we conceded two goals to give them a way back into the game. We took our foot off the gas and it almost cost us dearly.

A massive result that takes us into the 2nd round. The lads really put a shift in. The only real negative from the game was the fact that I had to sub off substitute Josh Hosie because he was in danger of getting sent off. I'll be having a quiet word with him for sure.

Not much to say about this game. It was a fairly routine win where we played well and didn't give the opposition a sniff. Job done.

The FA Cup journey is over for another year but massive credit to the lads who pushed the League Two leaders all the way, holding them at bay for 80 minutes. I'm proud of their performance and think it's unfair to be negative about that result.

League Table

We now have a seven-point gap at the top of the National League North table with a game in hand. Will we get back to back promotions?

Next Month's Fixtures

There's no reason why we can't win all our league games there, especially after what happened at Southport in the FA Cup. The FA Trophy game will be tough though.

Absolutely smashing it mate. Good to see they rewarded you with a new contract. Wonder how many more interviews you'll be offered over between now and the summer!
