In my long experience though they all have the qualities to go higher. Edit, seen one twice who gave exactly the same high quality performance on each occasion. I've chosen 3 from over 200 who have appeared in matches scouted so far, so one could say I've been quite selective Just to put you all in the picture. The priority at the moment is to sign players who can go straight into the first team. Mine usually fall into the 'great potential' category so I don't expect movement on that score for some time. I've been asked keep looking though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminded me of a young Chris Taylor when at his best with us. Will also be interesting to see how young Kings Lynn centre back Adam Crowther shapes up against league opposition v Stevenage tomorrow, which is live on BBC1 at 12:45.

Just googled him, only 34 but only played 10 times in last 4 years. He’s had less action than Tope had before we signed him last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the situation at the moment, you've seen the size of the squad so how many more can be added? And as I've said players to go straight into the first team is priority. I'll keep sending in players with potential as hopefully it will change soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you asked if the club would be receptive to you looking at players for the first team or have you made the decision to look at those with potential instead, off your own back?

I usually look for players with potential, but the squad needs to be vastly reduced first. I think the young very quick prolific goal scoring left winger James Berry of Macclesfield can step up immediately and go higher, but its its a risk in the clubs current league position and I can see proven players take priority at the moment. I just recommend players and others will make a judgement as to whether they are suitable or not. Of the experienced players I have passed on IMO Haughton would make a massive difference, but unlike pre-season he won't come cheap now and several league clubs are interested. Sometimes clubs ask scouts to find players to improve certain positions asap, and that's something I did for Notts County manager Jimmy Sirrel when he signed the fast direct winger David Thompson from Rochdale many years ago.

By about 20 other clubs, meanwhile if the club would of let Shez have his way he'd of signed for us before a ball was kicked this season but the board wouldn't support him in the way they are Unsworth. Apparently another one EFL bound now and Stockport rumoured to be his next destination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
