Manager - Mark Molesley has been in place since September 2021 and is under big pressure to get wins on the board.

Manager - Keith Hill was sacked as boss following their defeat to FC Halifax Town. He has been in place since November 2021. During his time with The Iron they won just three of the thirty-nine games played. Hill's Assistant Tony McMahon has also left the club. There is no news as yet in respect of in interim or full-time appointment.

GATESHEAD 
6/8 - Dagenham & Redbridge D 2-2 (Paul Blackett, Adam Campbell) 
13/8 - BARNET D 2-2 (Paul Blackett, Adam Campbell) 
16/8 - NOTTS COUNTY D 1-1 (Tom Allan)

CLEAN SHEETS - 0

Manager - Mike Williamson has been in charge of The Heed since June 2019. I don't think he is under any pressure as yet as the club have only just been promoted back to non-league's top table. 

FC HALIFAX TOWN 
6/8 - Barnet L 0-2 
13/8 - TORQUAY UNITED L 0-1 
16/8 - SOUTHEND UNITED D 0-0 
20/8 - Wealdstone L 0-1 
27/8 - NOTTS COUNTY L 1-4 (Harvey Gilmour) 
29/8 - Scunthorpe United W 2-0 (Kian Spence, Jordan Slew)

FAILED TO SCORE - 4 
CLEAN SHEETS - 2 
GOALS SCORED PER GAME - 0.50 
GOALS CONCEDED PER GAME -1.33 

Manager - Chris Millington was promoted from Assistant Manager in May following Pete Wild's departure to League Two side Barrow AFC where he is doing a fantastic job. I think The Shaymen's form will improve and they will climb up the table in the next month or so. 

FORTHCOMING FIXTURES FOR CURRENT BOTTOM FOUR 
Saturday 3rd September
Aldershot Town v Barnet (3rd) 
Gateshead v Maidstone United (10th) 
Maidenhead United (18th) v FC Halifax Town 
Scunthorpe United v Boreham Wood (7th) 

This forthcoming weekend if you go by form it's FC Halifax Town who have the best chance of getting three points as they go to Maidenhead United who lost their last three games in row without scoring - Only the 3-2 and 2-0 wins recorded over Scunthorpe United and Altrincham are keeping The Magpies out of the bottom four.  Boreham Wood go to Scunthorpe United on the back of an impressive 1-4 win at Dorking Wanderers. 

Gateshead, with no wins on the board yet, have a home game against Maidstone United. They have so far drawn two and lost one of their games at The International Stadium. 

Saturday 10th September 
Chesterfield (1st) v Gateshead 
Eastleigh (8th) v Scunthorpe United 
FC Halifax Town v Dorking Wanderers (16th)
Torquay United (20th) v Aldershot Town
