Of course when you look at teams below the National League as recruiting grounds the players there are at the end of the non-existent season in which they may have performed very well indeed.

Take a club like Warrington for instance. Last season Ben Garritty held out until the last minute before signing a contract. He was obviously hoping for better. He's a lively midfielder who grabs a few goals too. He seems consistent too. He would probably be a good bet for us, considering our moans about midfield.

They also have Dylan Vassallo. He's about 21-22. Goes wide, makes and scores goals. Another who could almost certainly take the step up. Surely we are already at least considering who the players are at the end of their useful Chesterfield lives. Names like Buchanan, Weir, maybe Hollis, certainly Jalal, Wedgbury and possibly even Boden and sick-note Maguire might be replaced to refresh the squad. So surely we could not even be accused of bending the rules by talking from at least 2 metres to players whose contracts no longer bind them, because not only has their season ended, but it has been expunged - it is one step down the line from the Norwegian Blue!
