Will Evans is another unexciting signing. Apparently a good defender in a decent defence at Aldershot. A defender in the middle of his career who Allen clearly knows ........ and Aldershot were a play-off team.

The thing is we have to have some of these lads who know the Vanarama and will perform at that level. "Better" players might not. My only question would be if we did get promoted how would Evans cope a step higher - but it isn't a chance he's really had - so he's decent bet. I was hoping we'd sign a young defender like James Jones from Chester, who in view of his age should improve as we hopefully improve too ...........

My knowledge of non-league has multiplied in the last couple of years - but all non-league fans would have known about the players I've been talking about Pooch. Bruno Andrade would to a non-league fan of a team lower in the pyramid be the equivalent of an Alexis Sanchez.

To be honest Evans seems mostly to be a 6 or 7 out of 10 player. Kellerman was the one I would have grabbed from Aldershot on the basis of reports and reactions. A slight worry is that after Aldershot defeats their manager Gary Waddock seems to harp on about mistakes costing them dear - he doesn't specify a culprit but that sort of thing never looks great for a centre back does it?
