Worrying over Nothing?
#1
Ricky Miller at Port Vale, Grant Smith, the Boreham Wood keeper, gone to Lincoln, Jamie Jones Chester's young centre back to Salford, now Mike Fondop-Talom snapped up by Wrexham. Almost every player I've been going on about has now gone off to a new club .......... and we ...........?  Have we been blinded by the fact that everyone seems to like our new manager? At the moment we seem to have one forward who was injured all last season. The players we had last season were playing in a team which would certainly have struggled in the Vanarama. We have to have a better team than that even to survive. We've dumped quite a few inhibitory contracts now, but that slow process has left us towards the back of the queue for the pick of the non-league crop. (I kept saying we should raid Kidderminster for instance - well their three most attractive players have gone :- Croasdale for £50,000 to Fylde, Ngwatala to Dundee, Sonupe to Stevenage ..... and a full back got snatched too - that perhaps leaves I think Horsfall the centre back and their centre forward Ironside only.)

I'm beginning to worry that not only aren't we looking like a promotion side, we are beginning to take on the air of strugglers. If Martin Allen stays I'm sure all will be well in that sense, but were he to leave what's the legacy looking like? Even Hartlepool with their new owner in place are making signings that look as though they've got to grips with the notion that they have to fight their way back to the Football League. John Still at Barnet has broken every promise he made not to raid Dagenham for players and looks to be building a league-winning team. Boreham Wood are replacing the players that are moving on. Chris Kinnear at Dover is following his usual process of clearing-out and bringing in new talent for another promotion challenge, Salford are splashing out, Harrogate are building, Sutton are going to be at least as good as last season, Orient have now had a season to prepare for this, Wrexham are being very picky over new signings, Ebbsfleet cotinue to improve their squad, Bromley think they have league potential, Maidstone and Maidenhead both want more than mid-table .....

Or am I worrying over nothing? Is everything under control?
