Oh my oh my oh my 3-0 up lose 4-3 what is going on

[windy1970]

I was speaking with an owner of a team riding high at the of the NL and he said that players aren’t very keen to stay with promoted clubs for now. The perception is that players will be happier when 50% of NPL1E clubs are from the northeast. There are currently 6 northeastern clubs, Blyth Spartans and Whitby could potentially join them next season. But you could lose Dunston(promoted), Bishop Auckland and Consett(relegated). With 2 coming up from the NL1, an overall increase of 1 club. So hopefully Bishop Auckland and Consett can turn their fortunes around.

I think Bishops will stay up, Consett might struggle more, I've not seen them play good football since late 2023, and I watch them fairly often due to having an artificial pitch.

Either way, both would romp the NL if they went back down.

I think Bishops will stay up. They look to be in the same situation we were a year ago. It's a big step up from the Northern League now, and the football is much more physical. 100 points and 100 goals (or whatever it was) isn't that much of an achievement in a weak Northern League, not compared to 10 years ago. Once they adapt their style of play, and add a couple of more physical players they'll pick up, same as we did.

I’m not so sure the quality of football is that much better in the NPL but what I have noticed so far is that all games have been very close affairs. They could have gone either way showing that there is not a great difference between top and bottom ( unlike the NL). On paper Bishops have a very good squad, they just need to sort the defence out. Maybe fitness is a factor.

A lot more physical with some sides shirt pulling grappling and shoving. Also chances which would me missed in Northern league seem to be taken in this one. Think they get some of the refs from Rugby League
