Spot on.

Some fans on here bleat 'woe is us' about our budget and excuse the lazy signings, but I've never seen it bother Holt/Coleman. 

They roll their sleeves up, sign the overlooked gems, and reap the benefits. They've got a reasonable chance of being a Championship club next season, whilst some on here would be chuffed with top 10 in League 2 on a budget several times larger than Accrington's. Wycombe are in the Championship ffs.

Accrington's forwards were signed from Leamington Spa and Southport. McConville, a stalwart, was from Stockport. Why can they manage it, but we can't?

Recruitment needs an overhaul. We need a specialist. DoF, Recruitment Director, call it what you want. Our signings are flat out lazy, as you correctly point out, and that's why we're floundering. We seem to operate like a club from several decades ago on this front. It's the next big challenge facing those at the top.

Imagine the reaction on this thread if we signed players from Leamington spa and Southport.

Most fans would be positive if this happens. You just hope they have been scouted first and not signed off a you tube video. Remember two of our best players of the last sixty years came from Rhyl (Andy Jones) and Moor Green (Ian Taylor). Most fans enjoy signing non league players and watch them develop and are the best route to finding gems. The last one was of course Jordan Hugill, although it was a shame the his sell on clause was triggered by the blue one.

What's your point?

Thankfully the goal of recruitment should not be 'get heart reacts on OVF' but to 'assemble a good side'.

Who cares what the reaction would be? Irrelevant.

Crawley took a chance on watters when released by Doncaster,i think they have just turned down 500k from swansea,holding out for 1m,they signed him in the summer.

Can you imagine some of our fans if we had signed him

What is Billy the Fish doing these days!!!

It's highly unlikely that Billy the Fish will ever return to football. Like you, my "2nd team" was Fulchester United. When Fish hung up his boots, he regrettably turned to a life of crime, maybe to reignite the spark that matchdays gave him. Sadly he's currently on the run from the Law. The most recent sighting of Billy was in the Costas' with fellow fugitive Big Vern.

Yeah, Shakin Stevens is just the ex striker of theirs we could use!
