Didn't understand how Wedgbury could be behind all our midfielders unless his injury had had long-term consequences. He wouldn't class himself as an exciting midfielder, but I do think he's capable of making life difficult for opponents who think they might be the new Zidane.
I applaud Charlie Wakefield for seizing his chance. He now has to make himself impossible to drop.
Like Matt I'd like to see Levi back in the squad. Like Matt I'd also like to see us develop scouting at a non-league level, but I'm convinced it is fairly easy to find potential prospects. Almost every day we find other clubs signing players. Chorley just got Nortei Nortey, season before last he couldn't stop scoring from midfield for Dover. He had trials at Bradford earlier this year. He wasn't a secret. When I used to share names of potential signings on Bob's they always said players like that wouldn't move north ……. but plenty seem to welcome the opportunity and leads are easy to find. You only need to read reports …. if both home and away a player is receiving attention in reports that's a sign, if a local paper mentions him a lot, or fans' forums, or websites you know he's worth taking a look. If you travel and watch him and he disappoints so be it, but if you never get off your bum you'll never see the guy who is turning it on every week ……. who you can get for NOTHING! There's no big secret here, put in the work and then go and watch a football match. How hard can that be when it is your actual paid job?
