Say that to the Harrogate goalkeeper!

We are above that league now. Gotta look at current L2 and L1 players.

Every season there seems to be some very good players from the National League who make a success of transfers to L2 & L1...

Funny, over the last two years we’ve bemoaned the fact that we may lose our players to league clubs. Clearly some felt and rightly so that we had players who could make it in the league.

Now we are in the league and perhaps could use that position to attract decent non league players some feel that ot is not good enough to look at NL players. Some may well be good enough to step up.

Exactly as above. Hopefully Steve Foster has identified the next Marvin (not necessarily a defender).

That would be Fonguck. We really need to go all in on him.

Correct. Recruit from the League you are in if you want promotion.

You only have to look at some of the players that Peterborough have signed out of non league and sold for decent money to know that those gems are out there. You can have success with them as well.

Ephraim Mason-Clarke (Barnet)
Connor Wilkinson (Daggers)
Josh Hare (Eastleigh)
Nathan Ashmore (Ebbsfleet)
Josh Falkingham (Harrogate)
Zane Francois-Angol (Fylde)

Would all be on my shopping list. But then I think we need to strengthen far more than Edinburgh appears to.

Good shout on the above. In respect to the strengthening aspect it might depend on the quality of the players he brings in rather than the quantity doesn’t it?

Not really; I’m just not as confident that we have the requisite quality in the existing squad, therefore I’m advocating a more intensive squad overhaul. Well aware that the retained list indicates otherwise. Worried about a number of the starters at this level (Brill, Ling/Judd, Widdowson in particular), let alone squad depth (Sargeant, Ling/Judd, Sweeney, Gorman, Dayton, Harrold).

I did and to me you are talking about the 24 teams that were in the 2018/19 NL which if I remember correctly included the team you support.

Josh Hare’s the best right back in the league - would be a definite improvement on what we’ve got.
