Was not expecting this one. To be fair Bristol Rovers are way too good for this league and their striker Matt Taylor should be playing in League One not the Conference.

Brilliant win as we beat Cheltenham by three goals to one. Cheltenham are a good side but they could not handle our attacking play. Our top scorer last season scored 9 goals and Stefan Payne has already managed 7 and we are only 11 matches in. Let this good form continues.

Signed as a cheap back up player to replace Sparkes when he's injured. Brought in on a non-contract deal so can be let go at any time. Plays as a right winger but left footed which will leave space for the right back to push forward.

At 64 minutes we were 2-1 up, with Haluk the world's best striker just about to take a penalty to make it 3-1 and most likely win us the league. Haluk misses, Dortmund score 2, Bayern win the league and we miss out on goal difference.

Tense but we managed to grab a win. We go into the last game against Dortmund three points ahead of Bayern. A draw or a win and we win the league.

Key man Daniel Sparkes has been ruled out for three weeks. It's obviously a shame for him to miss out but we should cope for three weeks.

Despite a somewhat horrendous start to the season, we sit comfortably in mid table. It's still early days but we are five points clear of relegation and only six points off Play Offs. We seem to be finding our form recently and hope we can kick on from here.

We are really starting to find our form after this great win against Boreham Wood. Jon Nolan was immediately thrown into the starting line up and he did well. One annoying thing is that star man Daniel Sparkes picked up an injury so hopefully he isn't ruled out for long. Nice to see Stefan Payne find the scoresheet, he really is a great striker at this level. I really think he can bag 20 goals this season.

Former Grimsby, Lincoln and Stockport midfielder Jon Nolan has joined the club on a deal until the end of the season. He will be a direct replacement for Chez Isaac who has been ruled out injured. He has quite good stats for this league and he's a relatively small wages so I will be interested to see how he fits in.

Great comeback against a strong Woking side. We were two down within 5 minutes which was a horrendous start from the lads. We then managed to get hold of the ball a little more and I pushed Taylor Miles in behind Stefan Payne and it worked wonders. Alex Woodyard grabbed his third in three games before Taylor Miles scored a brilliant long ranger to grab us a point.

Shame to see him ruled out as I've given him a run in the side recently. This may mean that I need to delve into the transfer market to bring in a replacement.

What a game and what a fantastic win. Stefan Payne grabbed a goal against his former club before Moses Emmanuel scored his first goal for the club in injury time. As Dover pushed for the equaliser, Alex Woodyard popped up with his second goal of the season. This is more like it...

We won a game! Brilliant win by the lads in a match where Altrincham rarely threatened. Stefan Payne put us ahead early on before a rare goal from Alex Woodyard put us in control. Alex Woodyard didn't manage to score at all last season so it's nice to see him on the scoresheet. Lets hope we can kick on from here.

Nice to keep a clean sheet but the lack of goals is a worry. We are now still to win this season so hopefully we can find some form from somewhere. We actually played quite well this match so it's a shame not to win. Captain Kenny Davis had another stormer at right back for us.

Terrible performance against a lowly Guiseley side. I really thought that the comeback against Gateshead would of given us some momentum going into this match but that certainly wasn't the case. We grabbed a goal late on to make it an exciting final few minutes but it just wasn't good enough.

Despite still not registering our first win of the season, this one feels like a win. Made a few changes to the line up for this one with Kenny Davis moving into right back and the energetic Mitch Brundle into centre midfield. We went two down before substitute Ricky Modeste grab one back for us with a long range effort. Stefan Payne, who impressed upfront on his own headed in the equaliser for us.

Absolute battering against a very strong Eastleigh side. I went for a 4-5-1 formation with the hope of crowding the midfield but it didn't really work. Not exactly the start of the season I was hoping for.

One of my key players last season Kurtis Guthrie has managed to get himself a move to the Football League. He was my number 1 target this Summer so it's a shame to have not been able to bring him to the club permanently but it will be interesting to see how he does in the league above.
