Yes, I underestimated Cheltenham. Really thought FG R would easily win title like Bayern or PSG with no competition. I really rate midfielder Jack Munns he might not have stature (neither does Messi) but he has power and great vision. He's definitely one of those non League players that could walk into a weak EPL squad like WBA, Sunderland or AVFC. Why don't the injury hit big clubs go for him or even a championship side? So many talented players in non League who with a bit of TLC and nurturing could play top level football. Bromley's Moses Emmanuel and Grimsby's Bogle are other non League players who IMHO are better than anything AVFC have to offer.
Some EPL clubs missed a trick in January transfer window. These guys would contribute more than Radamel Falcao or Benteke who are just burning up cash on wages that could have gone on bringing in cheaper lower League players. Too much snobbiness especially in these lower league bargain bucket Vardy/Mahrez/ Kante times
Dover going well, too. Agree, I hate it when two teams do well and there is only 1 automatic place. Imho a "Play off place" should be for #3 place downwards. Getting back into football league is a big deal, not just a lottery.
I also feel bad for Hyde. Ok they were sh*te and deserved to be relegated but they could be relegated again. Sad times.
