My thoughts, first thing first whingy is a tactical genius the change of system was unreal. Cody Johnson put in one of the best Debut performances I witnessed, he was ridiculous. Also Babos influence of the bench was sensational. 2nd half we bossed the middle. A top away day.❤️💛

@benradcliffe03
has received the most votes as the defender has put in a mammoth shift this month similar to his contribution all season. The defender contributed to a goal to secure us safety, 1 assist and 2 clean sheets.
THEN HE SAID TO ME…
This club is a disgrace to the football pyramid and should be banished to the welsh league. Throwing flairs at brackley and Chorley, started a fight against banbury home and away. Ambushed flyde dressing room. Probably many more accounts too! Disgusting.
Missed most of it, but here’s the aftermath of Chester fans attacking Brackley players on the pitch at the final whistle today, before launching missiles at Brackley fans. Saw a young 5 year old Brackley fan with blood pouring from his head.
To win the playoffs and battling cancer at the same time is very impressive. Paul has always been a credit to non league and a credit to football with his loyalty with Leamington and I wish him the most speedy Recovery ready for next season. All the best Paul.

With what’s looking like consecutive rebuilds this summer, I have delved into the consequences of getting this rebuild Misjudged + identifying potential replacements we should look to sign to help make the future a successful one. 1/2
With our superior GD over farsley (18 goals better off) this means it’s 99.9% certain we are playing NLN football next year, what an achievement for the club. New stand & maintaining our status is an incredible season & a bigger achievement than winning the league last year❤️💛
2 home league wins in 427 days and now we’ve seen 2 home wins in 4 days😍up the Craig McKay and Liam Shea for a Stella caretaker job. Roll on Kevin Wilson tramway army❤️💛
The spirit, effort & desire to win was brilliant today: We haven’t fought like that for ages but it wasn’t just about the fight, the bravery of being on the front foot in the 1st half really set the tone of the game. Credit to all the players they really played for the badge❤️💛

As for jack stevens, he genuinely is the best striker in the league, the man can do everything, Terrorises defences and individual brilliance for his goal today, the ball was glued to his foot!🌍❤️💛
So good seeing Chris wreh doing well for such a massive club in the national league! Grateful we had him to fire us to promotion, keep smashing it, Chris wreh is our gunman!🟡🔴

@ChrisWreh1
I thought Chris Wreh had another excellent match. His strength and close ball control caused Oldham problems all afternoon.
In this video clip he wriggles away from an Oldham defender, before driving into space and seeing a shot come back off the post.
Now pre season is finished, it’s 6 days to the season, I really like the signings mark has recruited with the blend of experience & youth. We already look a good squad on paper which will only get stronger when we utilise the loan market! Roll on the season! UP THE PURITANS🔴🟡

That’s an absolute joke, he’s been our best LB. I know he’s had his injury problems, but releasing hall, Wilson & duel registering fitzhugh is mind blowing. And to replace them them we got a striker who’s made 1 appearance in 3 years & 3 in experience young players on loan.

1 year ago today saw the season opener of Banbury United v Spennymoor Town.
Only 4 of the 16 man squad remained at the end of the season & now only 2 remain. Let’s hope for a more stable squad this season to build that fan/ player connection.
Roll on Saturday’s opener ❤️💛
So impressed! A proper spirited performance. The lads dugged in deep & put their bodies on the line for the badge, I couldn’t pick a MOTM as they all deserve it with that fight. The connection at the end with the fans and players was remarkable, something special is building❤️💛
Despite all these club legends leaving us & I understand how excruciatingly painful it is as we adore all of them, Please be patient with new signings: MJ has only been in the job 6 days, signings will come & good players take time to sign, so please wait & believe in the process
Really liked the look of Maye in the middle, he did excellent in doing the dirty work. Acquaye was outstanding at getting us up the pitch. However, Roberts was my MOTM I have no words for how good he is/has been for us, after his injury lay-off he looks like he’s never been away.
Massive respect to Ken for this. This might seem minuscule but it’s clear he’a trying to install hope and belief amongst the fan base where others have been hiding on and off the pitch. We are supporters it’s time to support - we are banbury through Thick and thin.

This is fucking massive! Welcome back Tai! His dedication, his work ethic and his defensive capabilities were still at a high output in a make shift defence each week! I am absolutely delighted for his return and makes me even more optimistic for the season!❤️💛
This quote gets me so excited “I am looking forward to getting the right character of player in and taking the team on a journey to a goal of Banbury United playing at its highest ever level in 2031, its centenary year.”
Great appointment it seems ❤️💛
A great point away from home & a defensive masterclass after the first minute. Jack harding is magic & produced multiple fine saves. Langmead block was sensational too. The boys have been unreal to get 5 points in 6 days. Unbeaten in our last 4. Good away day on Good Friday🔴🟡

The best news to see when leaving work on a Friday. Can’t wait to see James back in the red and gold. Really good signing excellent work from the club. I’m looking forward to him building on his 15 appearances and two amazing goals.
This interview is real hard hitting, yes results haven’t been great & the spell in the dugout hasn’t gone as we all hoped, but there’s a line and telling your own manager to go die & other stuff is beyond appalling. He’s a human being, it’s football, stick to football matters.
