I wonder if the plan is to still sign 15-20 academy players from higher up this summer and loan them out , it sounded an interesting concept but so far you have just signed ready made players really who should be too good for NLN .
Looks like a very strong defence being put together. Forward line coming along nicely. I remain concerned that we are yet to have found two leaders for CM.
Depending what happens with Butterfield and Beeston we need 4 midfielders if they go. 2 for the centre and a wide midfielder/winger each side as Sembie-Ferris and Lewis not yet NL top 7 players from what we have seen.
At least one preferably both new CM’s need creativity as well as athleticism because Shrimpton, Rance and Pugh are workhorse midfielders. Nothing wrong with that if course but creativity is needed at any level.
From my limited knowledge of the level (NLN & NLS playoff finals) it seems the intensity and physicality are pretty much the same as NL but obviously more patchy in terms of footballing capabilities.
One more forward (assuming Wilson goes) and cover at right back for Ogle (hoping he stays) and we should be in good shape. Always assuming we have somewhere to play and house the 4,000 crowds a winning Swann free club would bring.
