I think what has been obvious all season is that ALL the players actually like each other and enjoy playing in the same team as each other. That is massive credit to the manager, more even than being top of this league.
As for next season, well I've attended a few blank away days recently, so I'd suggest a striker, or at least someone who can lay it on a plate for a striker. Still a bit bemused how we can score so freely at home, but often struggle to even create chances away. Maybe it's a formation thing away from home rather than personnel?

HI ES,

I think it is formation, clearly putting the weather aside, we set up not to lose I thought on Saturday. He never swapped JJ to the left or made attacking changes in bringing Peers on. Perhaps Amiss when fit will be that option of a Striker.

I heard mention averaging 2 points a game and they seem to be running with that.

I've been to Matlock, Shildon, Witton, Stalybridge and Warrington this season.  I think you're right AltyDave, it must be formation away from home and we are too cautious. Perhaps we should try 2 up front? Believe it or not, I'm not sure 2 points a game will be enough.

If others, especially I'd suggest Shaw Lane, carry on as they are doing, 2 points per game will not be enough. We could well need three figures to top the league.
Also, I believe it's only one automatic place for promotion.

It's only the champions that go up automatically.

Blyth won it last year and Spennymoor advanced through the playoffs.

Incidentally both are now doing well in the NLN.

When was the last time a team won this league with 92 points?

No - only one automatic promotion place

And my understanding is that effectively 8 teams fight it out for the 3rd relegation spot from the Conference North.
