Well their in play off final line up their two big summer signings, Rooney and Danny Lloyd, from the SPL and league 1 respectively, weren't involved. Then you had two players who were with them in 2017/2018- Touray and Piergianni who were both from non league. Then there is Maynard who turned down a deal to renew his contract at Tranmere. Hogan from Gateshead and Whitehead from Macclesfield who were two of the better players in the National league the previous year (Whitehead could have played in league 2 with Macc but chose staying down with Salford instead) Nathan Pond who dropped from Fleetwood in league 1 (same as the keeper Neal) Redmond FROM man United who was trialling with league 1 and 2 teams, Gafney from League 1 Bristol rovers.

It's an expensively put together team, I'm not sure why you'd pretend it wasn't? Although I think it does have a lot of national league experience in it, which is important too.
