Their Dad certainly has it in abundance, but they don't want to go down the spending big Bucks route

Having tried quite hard I've never been able to find out their Dad's true 'wealth'. Anyhow, maybe they don't want to borrow from Daddy?

Les Bradd let slip on a pod cast that the owners certainly have the ability to outspend Stockport and Wrexham but want to try it this way and fair play to them

There's something not quite right when Jayden Richardson ends up taking the final shot so many times. I'm all for full-backs supporting the attacking play, but the final ball should be to the strikers.

How many goals do Liverpool’s full backs score, Robertson always seems to be on the end of loads of crosses, it’s just a pity Richardson can’t finish better.

Hmm yes, bit of a difference in quality there!

Therein lies the point: we are not Manchester City or Liverpool.

I have absolutely no issue if they don’t, you only have to look down the A52 to Derby where Mel Morris has sunk 200m in and I don’t think anyone’s thanking him now. It’s just the worse time to be in this league.

Has the strikers looked like scoring at any point

Agree but getting on the end of crosses and cut backs at even this level you would expect some success, the hardest bits getting it to that point which we do well, but the whole teams guilty of missing quite a few chances over the season that were not that hard.

Not yet tonight, but as a rule you definitely want to be putting the ball in front of your strikers as often as possible in front of goal, rather than your full-backs. Just common sense.

No.
As someone has said,no ruthlessness.
I still say we 'aint good enough to go up....'and we 'aint won this yet!!

But the opposition aren’t the same quality so it’s all relative.
Our full backs play high up which allows Cal to play on the right and a right footer on the left. Richardson is so quick he’s often put through on goal.
