✅How would you grade @thesilkmen’s 2025/26 season?

Here’s my take from the latest edition of the @TheSilkmenNews podcast.

Make sure to listen to the full episode, where we discuss everything from our moment of the season to our pie of the season!

[Noah Wakefield @nwakefield39]

Had a great day at the NL play-off final yesterday, with Rochdale doing Rochdale things by scoring a 97th minute equaliser before winning on pens.

Made sure to bring up @thesilkmen’s 5-0 win over @DorkingWDRS to the legend himself 😉

@CesarRo09326532 Cheers Cesar! :)

[Noah Wakefield @nwakefield39]

It was a devastating defeat to a clinical @khfcofficial but when we look back on the 25/26 season, it won’t be this game that @thesilkmen will remember.

To go through what they have been but still make the FA Cup R4 and a p/o semi-final is a truly remarkable achievement.

🗣️| Captain Paul Dawson after @thesilkmen’s play-off exit:

“Only our lads in there know what we’ve been through this year. And it’s a lot. We’ve lost players, lost Ethan [McLeod] in December. The lads have gone through a lot and I’m, honestly, immensely proud of everyone.”

[Noah Wakefield @nwakefield39]

The kitchen sink was about the only thing @ChesterFC didn’t throw at @thesilkmen last night, with lighters and coins being lobbed at Rogan Ravenhill.

But patient management from this man ⬇️ saw Macc net in the 98th minute to come back from behind and secure a dramatic 2-1 win!

[Noah Wakefield @nwakefield39]

Enjoyed being back on commentary for @thesilkmen vs @SpennymoorTown despite the result

Macc secured a 4th-place finish after an early strike from in-form Corey McKeown and a stunning volley from Rob Ramshaw (in his 10th season with the Moors!) see the Silks fall to a 2-0 defeat

[Noah Wakefield @nwakefield39]

No team in the National League North have a better record in the final 15 minutes of games than @thesilkmen

John Rooney's men have scored a whopping 24 goals after the 75-minute mark this season, James Edmondson adding another this afternoon in their 2-1 win over @MerthyrTownFC

[Noah Wakefield @nwakefield39]

WHAT A WIN THAT IS 🤩

It seemed like mission impossible for @thesilkmen when Sam Heathcote saw red and Tom Handley netted against them for the fourth time this season, but late goals from Josh Kay and James Edmondson sees them snatch a remarkable three points in south Wales!

[Macclesfield FC @thesilkmen]

FT | VICTORY IN SOUTH WALES CONFIRMS ENTERPRISE NATIONAL LEAGUE NORTH PLAY-OFF FOOTBALL FOR THE SILKMEN!!!! 💙

Merthyr Town 1-2 Macclesfield FC

[Noah Wakefield @nwakefield39]

Interesting decision from @NL_Enterprise to credit @Lukeduffy99 for his goal in Macc’s win over Chorley - a game he didn’t score in… or win!

Duffy has otherwise been pivotal for @thesilkmen, earning a deserved POTM shout after 5 goal involvements and some stellar performances.

[Noah Wakefield @nwakefield39]

A four-page spread for me in the Macc Express this week as @thesilkmen sweep aside @HerefordFC and @Buxton_FC but were ‘all over the show’ against @ChesterFC, according to manager John Rooney.

[Noah Wakefield @nwakefield39]

A poor showing from @thesilkmen had all the hallmarks of December’s reverse fixture as @ChesterFC sink them 2-0 for the second time this season. Mottley-Henry netted in both, while Jack Bainbridge scored on his first return to the Moss since scoring for Marine the NPL p/o final.

[Noah Wakefield @nwakefield39]

Sam Heathcote after #Macclesfield's 4-2 win over Buxton: "The way [Buxton] acted at our place on Boxing Day was atrocious... I've probably been more up for this game than any this season because of how they acted at our place... I couldn't be more delighted to beat them today."

[Noah Wakefield @nwakefield39]

A huge week for @thesilkmen as they extend a formidable away form

A brace from captain @paul_dawson7 secured a 2-0 victory against a struggling @HerefordFC in midweek

And I was back on @silk1069 on Good Friday to report on a pulsating 4-2 win over local rivals @Buxton_FC

[BBC Sport @BBCSport]

🥹 Commentary fitting of the greatest FA Cup shock ever. 🫡

What a moment for Macclesfield. @5liveSport
