Im sure it will be on again later in the week, but that might be for the goals from Tuesday and Wednesday.

Also incase you guys didnt know there is a Football League goals thing on Sunday mornings ITV 11.00 am.

Yeh, I did see the Championship with the goals but didn't exactly take it in if you know what I mean, as I had a bad hangover. Would have liked to see the goals "properly"!

Did you see the Barnsley goal - What a strike could be a goal of the season contender in the first week.

Darlington, Chester, Peterborough, Walsall, Swindon, Torquay all maintain their 100% records and lead the way.

Darlington are looking good and have already been made the bookies favourites. They had a bid for Joachim refused this week and if they manage to get him then i think they will be a very strong team.

Walsall

Yeah Butler will score lots in that league and Hector Sam is decent as well. Its a shame Dobson is injured for a while they might miss him.

Darlingotn have money to burn, although they cant get the players they want...they had a £250k bid for Michael Bridges rejected and have also seen a bid for Joachim turned down.

Still if they can get a striker of their quality in then they will be building a decent front line with Martin Smith, Barry Conlon and Gaetano Giallanza.

Giallanza, now thats a name that brings back some memories. I am so pleased for him that he came back from the injury he suffered whilst at Carrow road. Was doing well at Livingston last time I heard, scored a couple at the weekend I think, what fee did they pay for him.

They got him on a free. It was funny cos i looked at him in the top scorers odds and he was 33/1, then sky published a preview and tipped him to do very well and the next day he was down to 8/1 fav.

He should do well but faces competition from Smith and Conlon. Darlingotn are building a decent side, they have that young Simon Johnson from Leeds and Dean Holloway from Bradford on the bench, which shows they have soem depth.

ive got darlington in my bet for the weekend, i think they'll do very well

15:00 Accrington 2 - 1 Barnet
15:00 Boston Utd 4 - 1 Darlington
15:00 Bristol Rovers 1 - 0 Grimsby
15:00 Bury 1 - 2 Shrewsbury
15:00 Hereford 2 - 0 Chester
15:00 Macclesfield 1 - 2 MK Dons

15:00 Torquay 1 - 2 Lincoln
15:00 Walsall 2 - 0 Hartlepool Utd
15:00 Wrexham 0 - 0 Peterboro

The 100% leaders are Swindon and Walsall. Acringtons first win made the headlines but the club is dissapointed with attendances below 2000 in their opening matches. Meanwhile Darlington were brought back down to earth with a heavy defeat to Boston, and today lost Dutchman Martis to Hibs.

I think you might have jinxed them mate.

Barnet is my team in this division

How come ? not had the best start so far this season, although have been unlucky conceeding two last min winners in 2 out of 3 games.

Darlington have signed Julian Joachim from Boston for an undisclosed fee. The ex Villa striekr scored twice against Darlington at the weekend.

I think he is a great buy and i think with the fire power Darlingotn have they will be a major force in League Two this season.

wow, sgoater, how comme u have such knowledge in league football.

Im not that knowledgable, i just like football at all levels. Plus i put a few bets on for the season so i check out the squads of the teams and who is buying who, i guess some of it sinks in after a few seasons.

Plus i guess it was only 5 years ago and i was supporting a football league team

Goater i had to go with Barnet cos they are from North London so why not?

the problem is Fairclough doesnt know his best XI he is always chopping/changing.

the big worry is our defence lacks pace and we aint got that player who has an extra something special in his locker

Dagenham & Redbridge 3-0 Wrexham

I went to this match today...my town club played very well. If any of you watch Goals On Sunday...you must watch the goal from Ben Strevens...amazing

Slowly climbing the table, couldn't make the game today, but sounds like we were steady. Gradually climbing the table. Roeder's influence should not be underestimated.

Fucks sake, have written this into the wrong thread, this has certainly come back from the dead.

Up the Dons!
