I agree Matt.
The gap between part-time football and full makes clubs like ours very reticent when recruiting a young promising player from a lower non-league club. So, financially strapped, we become risk averse ……. and probably reject the player who represents a bit of a gamble ……. and we sign somebody safe and boring from our own league, who is never going to improve. If the signings we make don't improve then neither will we!
Ideally I'd like to see our second team play competitive football against some of the teams we would meet in the Derbyshire Senior Cup if we entered it.
