I just think you need players with a desire to improve and make their way. I wouldn't object to a free transfer League Two player who has spent this season chomping at the bit for first team chances and then got released. He'd want it, whether he was in the National league or wherever. I worry we might fill our team with Robbie Weirs who'll remember better days, expect Vanarama players to show them a bit of respect and be surprised to find themselves hustled out of every tussle.
You are right Pooch when you point to our defence. It IS on the way to forming. Smith and Whitmore are young, contrated to us, and have non-league experience. Maguire is young, had a couple of loans and having an older brother in the England team he's going to want to make his own name. And Talbot would probably stay too if asked. Willock will continue to mature. Where we are weakest now is midfield and up front.
Lincoln grabbed Sean Raggett from Dover, who everyone said was really a league player (like many of those I mention - a known name), built a defence on that rock and when they were forced to sell him, still managed to loan him back till this Christmas. They had physical non-league forwards who scared everyone and their midfield moved the ball on and won it back. They scored a lot of goals from dead balls and instead of conceding in the last five minutes they regularly snatched winning goals. Nobody enjoyed playing them because they disrupted the opposition. They didn't think they were Barcelona on the ball, but they'd work like them to get it back!
