Rowe has been at Fylde forever and at this point why would he move to another national league team? He's had offers from league teams and seems happy to stay where he is.

McCallum has been at Eastleigh for 2 seasons, only got 8 the season before and prior to that had an OK but not spectacular scoring record mostly in the League.

Bonne had a pretty poor goalscoring record prior to joining Orient. 3 goals the season before (including a 1 goal spell on loan to Lincoln in our division) his best goalscoring season for Colchester was 9 but that included 4 goals against Wealdstone in the FA Cup. If we signed a player with his record what would some fans say?

Boden was considered not good enough by a large section of our fans. Despite having one of the best goalscoring records of all the players in this list. Our system the season he was with us is probably largely to blame, but I also wonder how significant his difficult year in Scotland was. Maybe he needed to be managed better?

Rooney- huge wages, big signing out of reach of any other national league club.


It's such an inexact science. We need to take chances on players and not all of them will work out , but we need to scout people properly to earmark players who could become that 20 goal guy. It seems clear that we started last season without that player who would have potentially become our main striker. I'm pretty sure Beavon was signed in the supporting role, and surely if you'd seen Fondop you'd only sign him as a player with potential? JMD and Hines make sense as wingers/wide forwards.

Next season we have Mike, but we also have Oswell who could potentially be the goal scorer, but we need to play to his strengths. I personally hope he isn't the only player we are pinning our hopes on to score goals because that's a lot of pressure to put in him. We also need to maximise our chances by playing in a way that creates chances. That hasn't been happening.

playing 442 , a full time 1st team coach and a good experienced scout might help

He best have forgot something when he was here and came back for it. Rather have chips for a quid back than him.

not with Summerfield, Young and Wright as our midfield. i don't think any of the is good enough to play in a midfield 2.

Ha ha. Where have you been? Random signings that are rarely seen again, not here...never .

5 goals in 34 league appearances for Harrogate but 24 in 38 for Brackley the year before. Sounds plausible for Wrexham.

Not sure whether it impacts talks, but Hughes is on a coaching course all weeks
