Yes, the two against town record sets him up well for the "scores freely in training, but not against other teams" tag I'm sure I've heard before.

Shop has been offered a new contract at York City

Would be amazed if he used crucial away games at Bolton and Charlton, when safety was far from secured as a trial period for a player who’d barely even made his bench in months and months. I think he just thinks he’s s better player than Sraha at the current time.

But my overarching point is there has to be synergy between the types of players Moore will be looking at bringing in and whether Hurst will actually want and use them.

No issues at all about Alty coming up. They are a long established club who have played in the 5th tier for many of the years since it was established in 1979. The clubs I feel are not bringing much to the FL are the ones who have come up from several levels down and are currently riding the wave. Every club has its ultimate level and those who are on the chest of the wave now are likely to fall off it in the not too distant future (a la FGR and Sutton) and disappear back to where they have come from or are funded by a sugar daddy and become the next Rushden.

Was hoping Halifax (1st choise) or Alty (2nd) made it up. Alas not to be, so I'm not bothered who makes it up now.

I’ll drive him back to Cheltenham. No problem.

I've always seen them as a new town club who would not be anywhere near the football league without significant cash injections. A bit like the Andy Shaw situation, although that didn't quite go to plan. As a consequence a large part of their fanbase is made up of plastic fans that aren't emotionally attached in the way we are. Obviously there will be a core support that have been there for years and are very invested in the club. On another scale Bournemouth in the prem no way they'd be there without the Russian money and it leaves the club looking a bit soulless, which we know deep down is not the case. Again, I'm not saying small clubs shouldn't be able to get to the prem, but maybe some financial barriers should be removed so this can happen organically rather them relying on questionable cash.

Btw, genuinely interested by this conversation, challenging some of my long held views regarding Morecambe, Fleetwood, fgr, Rushden and diamonds, etc. that maybe one been wrong on.

So who are we backing? Surely Solihull Moors, as it's a much easier place to travel to if we draw them in a Cup game?

Somewhat off topic? The rumour isn't that Mr Moore wants out, it's that his old club want him back.

One of Pierre’s biggest issues over the last few years seems to be fitness/ possibly carrying too much extra weight.

If there’s one man who could whip him into shape with a full preseason it’s Hurst.

There’s no doubt Pierre has the defensive attributes
