As Barrows was at Lynn, Baines clearly very highly rated by all the Chorley people. I think this strategy of signing young, hungry players from solid Conference North teams is a very prudent one. Welcome to Alty Lewis.

A few conference heads who are overawed by Notts and Wrexham

Fixed my typo. We've lost at the big stadiums this year, with the except of chesterfield (Wrexham, County x 2, Grimsby). Phil said his job is to get FT players who don't fear these grounds.

I'd like to sign a few conference heads alongside this young hungry bunch.

I agree but young, keen, fit, talented and ambitious players can get the job done too.

I agree - look at Isaac Marriott.

Exactly.
We need a left back, a goal scoring forward and possibly a keeper and then the rest of the squad will likely emerge from trialists during the friendlies.
I think our loan players will be given the chance to earn themselves a peripheral place but most are unlikely to make it.
18 to 20 players looks increasingly likely.

PS. What's the situation with Leitch-Smith and Pringle?

Yes. I think we need a top keeper but I meant perhaps that might only happen during the friendlies from trialists. Hope I'm mistaken and we sign a (young) corker.

Disagree mate.

Players like Marriott is what we need. As mentioned above, young, fit and hungry.

Don't need your Furman's and AJ Leitch-Smith's picking up decent money but often injured.

Keeper is obviously a huge one. Wouldn't mind someone late 20's with proven ability.

Still feel we need another top CB and forward.

Also LB and wide player.

Agreed. We certainly need a wide player and another forward. We've got to replace the goals and goal threat which Mooney provided.

You've completely disagreed with yourself. You want hungry players but you want a keeper with experience in their late 20s.

I want experienced players who have regular first team football at League 2 or Conference level, in and around the sqaud.

I suspect that our new full time model better supports young, fit and hungry players with sell on value. It certainly didn't do us any harm towards the back end of last season having these sorts of players in the team.

Surely, 26-year old Cam Mason at Southport needs to be a keeper we are looking at. Had a slice of ft action at Chesterfield a while ago and may fancy it again.

I have havent I.

What I mean is we need some experience in the goalkeeper position but not someone too old.

I am not sure about league 2 players. I think the top top players from the league below are more hungry, they have a point to prove to themselves.

From what I understand, yes we are because we offered him a new deal, but it is down to the clubs to agree the amount of compensation.
