Not much NL action this week so I got to watch Sunderland RCA on Tuesday evening at Whitley. I was impressed with their attitude and spirit. They kept trying to play good football in rather difficult conditions. Other than one minor incident when Whitley scored their sixth goal there was no whinging or moaning. You could expect a team at the bottom to maybe get over physical especially in such conditions but there was no sign of over zealous challenging.
They may not win many points between now and the end of the season but at least they are out there doing what they can and playing in a positive way.
Credit to them :-)

Unless your the manager or part of the team mate you wouldn't be saying that.
If I were manager, player or anyone associated with the club I'd certainly be winging/moaning after getting whacked like that, more so at my fellow combatants. RCA are such an iconic club steeped in history its such a shame to see what's going on there.

Credit to them :-) I’ve seen both RCA and Tow Law suffer heavy defeats in the recent few days, and must say it was admirable that both teams kept going for the full 90 minutes. Strangely, despite the scores both of their keepers had good games, keeping the scores down.

Got to presume both teams are fielding makeshift squads as they have suffered numerous heavy defeats, credit to them both for keeping going

Fair play to them for carrying on but along with Tow Law they are just cannon fodder now.
I see the management team every week on youtube talking about how they have been very unlucky but are getting beat 6-0. They wither need someone with a bit of experience and contacts or they will be no better off next year.

They need experience at the top and bottom both clubs And someone who's been successful or done well since at least 2010

Managers have pull . Dom Jones is the reserve team manager. And no clout . Its going to take a established manager/ coach to get players in .

I cant understand why no one seems to want to take the club forward, even small steps. There are plenty good coaches/managers in that area who've got to be up for a challenge.
It goes back literally to my post about clubs getting good managers/coaches with pull on little or no budget.

It goes back literally to my post about clubs getting good managers/coaches with pull on little or no budget. little to no potential for growth and personally I think those running RCA need to either focus on the first team or just drop the NL at the end of the season and rebuild completely. It feel like they don't mind existing and being whipping boy of the league
