M.C.F.C.O.K said:How have they gone from just surving last season to being well clear at the top this? I have been following them quite abit this season, call me a glory fan but they have looked by far the best in the league.
They basically restructured the entire playing side of the club - is the quickest way of saying it.
There was a change of board, management and the entire squad was released.
In came the new management and team - on MUCH less than the squad was earning last year.
But instead of being older ex-pros towards the end of their careers there is a mix of young players who have been released by league clubs, and some from other non league clubs.
That mixed with the passing football has inspired to make them where they are - no more hoofing it to the big man

We were awful to start with and the big Congleton team were easily bossing our 'kids', but slowly and surely we got back into it. As ever, our management seemed to get the half-time talk spot on and we played very well second-half and won well!
Good win for Maine Road - my resolution is to get over to Brantingham before the seasons end. Just haven't had a chance yet this season :(
