Some very good stuff on YouTube about Cloughie. As has been said by many the best manager England never had. Not chose because he was too radical and whold have got rid of most in the FA. When asked about it he said 'I would'.

Anyway back to the thread and I hope Murray has been learning by his friendlies. I'm sure he will, even the HOB one.

Of the trialists in the two games so far,no one stands out including Harrop but the exception has been the right sided central defender who looks to have pace and composure on the ball and looks a player

I hope we bring in another forward seem too light with just cameron rose reid not enough fire power if we want play offs

If we are going to compete at the top end we will need someone who can put away at least 20. And before anyone says “everyone wants a 20+ goalscorer”, yes they do, so that sits with Cameron, Reid and Rose. They have got to hit the net regularly for us to have a good season. Scott Quigley was our last player to score 20 goals in season and Rooney wasn't far behind him. Their goals took us to the top of the table.

Fun fact. A grand total of 1 league 2 player got over 20 goals last season. And his team weren't promoted

I said competing at the top end. Do think we can be up there without 20 goal scorer? The record history says no…….

Some really interesting facts in that link.
Not least ages ago 1999 Rushden and Diamonds (where are they now?) paying £180,000 for a striker they thought would do the business. Justin Jackson

Money helps to a certain extent but knowing the football is more important and being able to plan.
Look at Colne Dynamos loads of money we played then on the way to Wembley and beat them.
Not sure if they are still going.

Murray displays a hunger and knowledge.
He seems to move on once he has achieved success.
Hopefully he gets us up and stats another season.
A good result at Hartlepool will be a boost

The issue for both Colne and Rushden was that very much like ourselves they had owners who were covering year on year operating loses but in the end Max Griggs of Rushden and Chalky White of Colne both wealthy businessmen in their own right said enough is enough and pulled out of covering the operating loses of their respective clubs

Colne Dynamos are now Colne FC and play in the Northern Counties League. Their captain is one Alex-Ray Harvey.

The story of Dynamoes demise is interesting:
