Paul Conway present today, so seen for himself how far we're behind if top 2 is the aim. A battle to keep in the top 6 looks to be the best we can do at the minute
Or... We’re not good enough to go up anyway so we might as well cash in some assets next month. Moore sold for £1million, replaced by £50k signing Jake Beesley who is the joint second top scorer in the national league north; and £750k for Ethan Pinnock, replaced with Callum Howe from Harrogate town in return for a player sent on loan and a preseason friendly... money never to be seen again. I think I’m just down after a bad performance and result, but I’m scared to death of what January will bring.
Howe wears the number five shirt but plays in midfield. However, if we are looking for a goalscoring centre half, Burrell got three today for Town in a 4-1 win at home to Aldershot. I was on the point of going but the cold wind and rain kept me in despite it only being a ten minute walk . I was slightly tempted because Gerry McDonagh was making his debut for Shots, on loan from our U23s. He didn't score.
