I think our goalie recruitment will show whether the club has a serious future or is prepared to drift quietly out of existence. If we wanted to do well we'd try to tempt Grant Smith to come north from Boreham Wood. He's the England C keeper and is only 24. If we opted for a young developing non-league keeper it might be Nathan Baxter at Woking, or McHale at Truro (but he's been going through a poor spell of late!) The alternative to non-league recruitment would be to discover an under rated keeper marooned gameless in the EFL, who sees dropping down to the Conference as a way to prove himself.)

My fear is we could give Dylan Parkin another year to act as reserve to the keeper we currently have on a two-year deal. My thought is anyon-but.

What we need Dev is players who are good enough for the National League who will also be good enough for L2. There will be players getting released at L2 clubs who could come in on free transfers if they are willing to drop down a division.
