Midlands Watch 24/25

Beaten play off finalists Lichfield City Management team commit to next season
 
Went and watched the Lichfield v Darlaston playoff last Saturday. It was a much higher quality match than Bury v Charnock that I watched a few days earlier.

The better team probably lost, although Darlaston scored all of their chances whereas Lichfield were quite wasteful.

Lichfield will be strong next year if they keep that team. It will be a great day out though, some cracking pubs in the town.
 
Stourport should be a decent away day too Mark. No shortage of pubs along the High Street (though admittedly it’s at least twenty years since I last visited 🤭) and a nice river walk too - if you’re so disposed 😁
 
Highgate Management team step down.

You’d have thought having made the play-offs in such dramatic fashion, they would have wanted to try and get one step further 🤔🤷🏼‍♂️
 
Matty Lovatt and his Management team sign back up at Dudley Town. next season.
 
Wolverhampton Casuls appoint Chris Hipkin as their new first team Manager.
 
I’m sure we’ll get around to some sort of organised prediction of our own soon (maybe other leagues too 🤔) However in the meantime here are this poster’s thoughts, based on goodness knows what
 
Tez, he is a brave man to make predictions this early! There re likely to have been many changes in the close season and let's face it we don't even know everyone we have signed on yet.
 
I'm happy to fly under the radar.

We'll have a good idea of where we are after the home game against Lichfield.
Couldn’t agree more. The predictions here have been made before a ball has been kicked or before most squads have been officially announced.🤷🏼‍♂️

Or not.

Congleton lost their first game 2-0 to Lichfield and went onto win the league last season.

The whole league is something of an unknown quantity to us so I don’t know what to expect really to make any prediction at this early stage.

However, I’m quietly confident with what I’ve seen from pre-season so far and the squad Chris is assembling.
 
Spot on Ben.

That same account has retweeted someone who reckons we will win the league and not spelling our name correctly… A thread has also just started on NLM with Lichfield, Atherstone and Stourport all fancied.

 
Our Pickem add-on doesn’t currently cater for predicting finishing positions.
I’ve put it forward as an improvement suggestion, but there’s no guarantee it will be implemented

If I was making predictions I’d probably just choose the play-off sides from last season & us to be in the mix
 
Next Saturday’s opponents in our season opener, Lichfield City, bow out at the first stage of the FA Cup losing 4-2 at Gresley Rovers.
 
Midland League clubs making it through to the next round include,
Mid-Cheshire neighbours Northwich Vics, Shifnal, Atherstone, Brocton, Dudley, Stone and Whitchurch.
