Mality Mality Mality Mality... That's the formalities out of the way.

The scores: Bristol City 2-1 Blackburn Rovers Cardiff City 2-1 Derby County Exeter City 1-3 Blackpool Leyton Orient 2-0 Reading Chesterfield 1-1 Port Vale Tranmere Rovers 1-1 Gillingham Aldershot Town 2-2 Tamworth AFC Fylde 2-0 Wealdstone --- @ARLukomski and @4everapie knocked it out of the park this round with impressive scores! --- Looking at our league table, @ARLukomski has wiped out @super_ram's seemingly comfortable ten-point lead to take top spot! @4everapie jumps into the top five, while @Fan of Big Tone is now in the top half of the table. --- But don't get too used to that table - round 29 is coming up on Tuesday night and the fixtures are online now! Go on, give it your best shot. Thanks for playing!

Thanks for this update @Robbie! I'm always interested in how some of the familiar names are doing. I've been to Nuneaton's old Manor Ground before, it was a proper traditional non-league ground too. They moved to Liberty Way in 2008, but the future of that stadium is up in the air. They're currently groundsharing with Bedworth United a few miles away. They're going well, but the tenth tier is very modest for a club like that. The NLN table is incredibly tight, and Darlo, Chester, Scunny and Hereford are all in with a chance of playing in the National League next season. Just out of the screenshot are Scarborough Athletic in 15th. One tier further down, in the Norther Premier League, Macclesfield are currently 16 points clear and looking all set to return to the NLN next season. With Boston and Aldershot in relegation trouble, it's possible that there will be nine former league clubs (or phoenix clubs thereof) in next year's NLN...

And now we can round off January with a midweek round. These all kick off at 7.45pm on Tuesday evening, don't forget your jokers and good luck!

How frustrating. I thought we played some really nice football in the first half in particular. It was a thoroughly enjoyable watch until I remembered we weren't winning! Mark Stallard was spot on though, there wasn't quite enough end product and we didn't finish Bromley off when we had the chance. Two points dropped. On a different note, while I hope Palmer is back very soon, I think Hinchey did a very good job of filling in for him and very nearly had an assist to his name.

I'll add up the points for this round tomorrow. As we've got a midweek round coming up, I'll post the fixtures for that already!

I noticed that, missing from the squad. I still wouldn't get excited, but it's curious...

Bristol City 1-1 Blackburn Rovers Cardiff City 2-1 Derby County Exeter City 1-1 Blackpool Leyton Orient 2-1 Reading Chesterfield 0-2 Port Vale (joker) Tranmere Rovers 2-1 Gillingham Aldershot 1-0 Tamworth AFC Fylde 0-2 Wealdstone

Right boys and girls, you know what to do - 3pm Saturday is kick-off time and you get a joker each. Good luck!

I can't see it being Langstaff as he's still starting games for Millwall. Etete could be a really good shout though! I doubt Paul Mace is close to the current hierarchy, but he's well connected in the world of football - perhaps he's heard it from an agent? I think it's obvious we're in the market for a striker. But just because there's talk, that doesn't mean it will come to pass.

You're all spot on - I know every player has his price, and 750k is a huge amount of money at this level. However, having already let Langstaff, Nemane and Crowley go, this would be a very negative step. It's also in an area of the team where we're thin already. In my heart of hearts I don't see it happening though - with Crowley we had a player whose mind was clearly elsewhere and would have left for a free in the summer. That's not the case with AJ; if we want to cash in, we can also do so in the summer when it's easier to get replacements in.

Glad he's found another League club, this could be a good signing for them. Hope he gets the regular games he needs and scores some goals against our rivals!

My last comment, as I don't really want to get dragged in. But I couldn't resist this one time. On his first day, Trump passed an executive order attempting to ban birthright citizenship, directly contradicting amendment 14 of the US constitution, hence lawsuits. Trump does what he wants to do; as ever, the constitution is cited only when it's convenient to him. The Surpreme Court is dominated by judges loyal to Trump. This is the court that decided that a US president has legal immunity. Very convenient for a man with a, let us say, chequered past and allegedly (ahem) launched an attempted coup that cost several lives. During his first term, there were old-fashioned Republicans around him who stood up to him and reined him in when necessary. He's had four years to weed those out and replace them with nutters who will do his bidding (the health secretary who wants to ban vaccines gets a special mention here). If he wants to, and is able to, govern for longer, he'll find a way. His friends in the judiciary will see to it. The Russian constitution also specified a maximum of two terms until it was no longer deemed connvenient. It'll be interesting to see what happens next and I hope his bark is worse than his bite. I do think some of the most outlandish remarks were intended as a distraction. But I'm not so optimistic he can be stopped if push comes to shove.

... for the remainder of the season! Now this is great news. This young man is going places and the best we could have hoped for is for him to see out the season with us. https://www.nottscountyfc.co.uk/news/2025/january/21/update--george-abbott/

I now invite you to marvel at my tremendousness and cower in awe at my inevitable victory (and possibly wonder whether this is going to my head a bit). Thanks for playing and see you next time!
