He left us last time because he didn't want the travelling at national level

Buxton's striker may be do-able, they are club fairly close by also, and he has a good record so far this season.

Would he relish the challenge?

I'm sure that he would, Steve, if Buxton would allow him to leave & Phil & Neil think that he could do a job.

I saw him play 3 weeks ago & he's good, however probably not what we are looking for at present as he's a wide player rather than a striker. Also, whilst he has scored 8 times, 5 have been penalties, including the 2 I saw him convert against Mickleover FC.

Buxton's wage bill may be higher than ours as well, therefore whilst a step-up football wise, it may not be financially.

Wealdstone 2nd in the league tonight.

Shows the difference between replacing quality players and settling for Evo Stik pals.

If Wealdstone are second it's either a poor league or they didn't turn up on Saturday. They created very little.

It's a poor league. The bad news is we're 21st. The good news is a win tomorrow would lift us to 11th (a draw would put us 16th). We've played 3 of the current top 7 away from home already, and I haven't seen anything to convince me that we're any worse than those teams. We just need a decent striker on board to be genuine playoff contenders.

 I blame G Rowley. Whenever we're not top of the league I blame G Rowley.
 I'm not gonna go the match anymore...

I'd argue that we gave Wealdstone a very tough game on Saturday. They have been scoring a lot of goals up to then and we restricted them to one. With a fit Dan Mooney on the pitch that game was there for the taking.

I'd agree, if we'd been a bit more clinical and not had early injuries could have been a different result.

They were average and will finish nowhere near their current league position.

When things are going for you, they really do - they won't quite believe they came away from Saturday with 3 points, but they did.

I do believe credit is due that any of our previous NL sides wouldn't have been competitive at all with the current injury list we have.

I'm not sure that we've seen enough yet to know whether its a poor league or not.  What can be said with some degree of certainty, is that things are not normal this season and this appears to be a factor in some of the results that have played out (see Premiership league table which tells its own story).

I think that for the most part we've played reasonably well, however, the injuries we've sustained are a significant factor in explaining where we reside in the league currently.
