I understand that a lot of their recruits are fringe squad players from teams in the Premier or Championship - players who don't want to give up London but are aware they might be scouted being so close to the capital. Is that true?
I was wondering the same. However they manage to keep their heads above water, the important point is that they have one point and one game advantage on Notts and have conceded just 13 goals in 20 games. Bore Em Stiff yes - but not to be underestimated.
