Tuesday saw a full programme in the National League. The players have done their bit, so now it’s our selector's turn.
There’s no room for error - and that’s why we make sure we take the best advice possible before announcing the squad of 16 plus the night’s best manager. With the goals flowing, what option did we have than play an attacking 3-5-2!
We pick the brains of club officials, managers and reporters around the grounds to make sure our team is as close to perfect as possible.
But as well all know football is a game of opinions - we rarely all agree!
So join the debate on twitter @TheNationalLge and let us know if you think we’ve missed someone special.

As O’s fans exited Cressing Road last night, many would have been muttering ‘we would have lost that last year’. There’s no doubt about it. Braintree has been a graveyard for big clubs in seasons gone by but Orient are made of stronger stuff this time. Their 5-1 win sent out a message.
