🆕🧵With deadline day fast approaching I decided to do a thread of 10 #NationalLeague players I feel could make a late move to the #EFL

Let me know if you want any more transfer content before deadline day below - and if so what? 👇
10. Kyran Lofthouse

He’s only so low down the list because Woking are flying. Strong, quick and direct, Lofthouse is a superb right sided midfielder

He ranks 4th for dribbles per 90, and is also capable of playing RB. Seems to have lost his place of late, leaving the door open
9. Tyler Cordner

The first of a few CBs on this list. At 24 Cordner still has plenty of upside, but is already a very mature defender

Comfortable with the ball at his feet and bringing play out from the back, Cordner plays on the left of the CB pairing
8. Bobby-Joe Taylor

One of the best attacking wing backs I’ve seen at this level, if an EFL side are looking for a LWB they could do worse than Taylor

A wicked set piece delivery and an eye for goal, Taylor would relish the step up from part time football. Good age at 27 too.
7. Josh Walker

Blistering pace in a front man is always a desirable trait, and Walker has that in abundance. He also has finishing ability, and with 10 goals this season he’s in good form

Dagenham may be reluctant to let go, but he would be an excellent option
6. Dan Gyollai

I wanted to include a keeper in this list, and one I feel is under appreciated is Maidenhead’s Gyollai

He certainly has the build you’d want for a keeper. He’s tall, commanding, and is a decent distributor too. May be affordable due to part time status
5. Toby Mullarkey

One of the finest defenders at this level, Mullarkey signed a new deal in the summer, but that hasn’t prevented him from being linked with EFL clubs

Alty showed with Colclough that they are willing to sell, and Mullarkey would definitely be worth the money
4. Nicke Kabamba

The big forward has been linked to #Spireites in recent weeks, and a hat trick against them at the weekend only increased his price tag

I feel he is good enough for the EFL though. 16 goals so far this season, and at 6ft3 he’s a real handful
3. Shaun Hobson

It’s well documented that Southend are struggling financially, so a cut price move for one of the division’s best defenders could be great business

He’s been linked with Orient in recent weeks, and it’s easy to see why. Athletic and a brilliant allround defender
2. Kian Spence

Halifax may be struggling, but Spence’s class remains evident. A wonderful footballer, Spence is about as well rounded a midfielder gets at this level

He’s also only just turned 22, so would be an investment for the future too
1. Andy Dallas

Out of contract at the end of the season, Solihull could be forced to cash in if a move materialises before Deadline Day

Dallas is a complete forward, providing as much as he does score. 11 goals and 8 assists for a mid table side. It’s a no brainer

#WxmAFC proved the #NationalLeague has plenty of quality in their 3-3 draw with #SUFC

They did plenty of things really well in the game - here’s a thread 🧵 looking at what they did. A short analysis 👇 Image
Here’s a move they executed early in the 2nd half. They did a really good job of restricting the game to one half off the pitch

Down the left they were especially potent as it’s where Elliot Lee was most active Image
They look to use the channels, something Sheff Utd had real trouble defending

The threat of Tozer’s set pieces put SU on edge when defending, making it easier for Wrexham to play their game in these lateral zones Image

Despite being 1-0 down at half time #WxmAFC are doing some things really well

Here’s a short thread on Wrexham’s first half against #SUFC 🧵👇
Their front 2, as always, are making themselves real nuisances. Both are physically really capable, and their work rate is really paying off

Sheff Utd aren’t able to get anything going. They’re constantly on the back foot due to Palmer & Mullin’s harassment
At the end of the half this chance almost got the equaliser. It comes from from Palmer’s hard work once again

Mullin is so destructive in these 1 on 1s. SU need to do something about it as that gap is so inviting for him

Luke Young is potentially the most underrated player in the league. Wrexham’s number 8 has been an ever present this season

Here’s a thread on the midfielder, covering why he could be the most important #WxmAFC player 🧵👇
Firstly, Young has played 2,451 minutes so far this season. That ranks him 16th for the whole league.

Of #WxmAFC players only Howard (2,638), Tozer (2,638) and Hayden (2,542) have played more minutes. Straight away we can see his importance
Young operates to the right of a midfield 3, playing as the shuttler, providing energy between both boxes

O’Connor plays at the base, while Lee to the left is given a free role. Young therefore has a lot of running and ground to cover

🆕🧵A few days ago #oafc added midfielder Mark Shelton to their ranks

At 26 he’s just entering his prime, but the Nottingham born lad has plenty of experience at this level already, having won promotion from this division on 2 occasions

Here’s a thread on Oldham’s new signing Image
Shelton is a box to box midfielder, one who contributes to both phases of play. He’s energetic, and often starts moves from the base of midfield, before building through the phases of play. Here he continues his run, providing a foil by making a run to the front post
Here’s another perfect example of Shelton building from the back, being involved in the continuation of play at all stages. He makes strong runs into space, constantly making himself available for passes. His strong physicality allows him to make driving runs

🆕🧵Here’s my thread on #Notts win over #Iron

A comfortable win for the Magpies. Not as much to analyse but it’s great to see a slight shift from the Yeovil game

Credit to Notts and Scunthorpe for the footage
The first goal comes from something I identified in my Yeovil post match thread; the long diagonal. It stretches a low block, creating space for the likes of Castro and Rodrigues as their defence can’t shift across. Having a player of Baldwin’s quality makes it possible
The finish is also superb - takes it first time and is so cool with it. Quevin is our best striker of the ball, but this is a different technique, and he executes it so well. He also does what we needed to do against Yeovil - shoot first time to catch them out

There’s still time for you to read our @notts_stats report

It includes all the key stats, player reports and tactical information

I’ve also included a short thread on some #Iron analysis🧵

nottscountystats.com/post/preview-s…
The first thing I noticed is Cook has the freedom to step out of defence. Scunny are reluctant to press, and don’t seem to have the team shape to prevent these runs from deep. Cameron should have no difficulty stepping out of defence and progressing the ball
One area we have to be careful with is the high line. Their goal against Wealdstone comes from a clever run in behind. However, we do tend to hold a higher line than this; either Slocombe would sweep up or one of our CBs would have the required recovery pace to get back
