41. Do we Dare To Dream?

Image
  We have had a good season so far and despite some inconsistent form, have managed to stay in touch with the other teams near the top of the table, as one club fails to take the division by the scruff of the neck. Can we kick on and establish a lead as we approach the end of the season, or will we fade into the obscurity of the playoffs? Morley Town sign Livesey Mason This is a massive coup for the club. The former Holker Old Boys forward has fallen out of favour with the promoted side, who are adapting to life very well in the NW Counties Premier, lying in 5 th place. He banged in 46 goals for the Cumbrians over three seasons at this level and so is a proven NW Counties Div 1 goalscorer who will bolster our forward line which have been a little shot shy of late. Match 23: Lepton Highlanders v Morley Town It is matches like these we need to win if we are going to be promoted. Our friends from down the A62 lie rock bottom of the league, while we are in second place and could go ...

40. Keeping in Touch

Image
  Match 18: Colne v Morley Town Put simply we need to get our act together after two heavy defeats and we seem to have lost the fizz we had at the start of the season. Therefore I have decided to try something new and have finally ditched the 4-4-2 and have gone to a 3-5-2 system This is bad news for the returning AML/R Marlon Gutzmore, but I think we have the personell to pull it off and will hopefully make us more solid at the back and be able to compete better in midfield. Colne sit in a middling 12 th place, while we have slipped to 4 th place, but just two points off the top. These are the kinds of games we need to win if we are to challenge for promotion. Morley Town: Oldham, G.Wilkinson, Bentley, Cotteril, Christie, Worsnop, Wright, Bett-Wildsmith, Smith, Wood, Ellis Subs: Thompson, Cotteril, O’Connor, Preston, Haylock Colne: Lombard, Angus, Barnett, Noble, Rice, Delaney, Pelling, Drake, Roberts, Ede, Lee Match Action We do not touch the ball from the kick off ...

39. Trying to See The Wood For The Trees

Image
  The season has so far gone pretty well and after ten games we are in the hunt for the title, or a place in the play-offs again. The squad (for now) seem happy, settled and focused on the job in hand and a settled team is emerging, made up of a good mixture of youth and experience. Until.... Cresdee Loan Finishes Olly Cresdee has returned to Farsley Celtic after their manager recalled him to the team as cover. He was also unhappy that I was not playing him as a poacher (even though I was) and to be honest his performances had been below par, scoring just twice and missing a load of chances, so off he goes. . Match 12: Marine U23s v Morley Town The last time we crossed paths it ended up with us crashing out of the first Division Cup at the Quarter Final Stage and the team from Merseyside going on to win the trophy. They have not adapted to life well in the NW Counties Div 1 North though and lie in the relegation places. We have slipped to 5 th but have two games in hand on e...
