Naylor seems an odd one, spent last season playing the majority of games for a relegated Wigan in the championship, either no one in the league wanted him or chesterfield are paying over the odds for him, again a 31 year old on a 3 year deal. Seems Cook is just signing players he knows in an attempt to get out the league. Although these seem "marque" signings, not sure they are. When you compare them to Palmer (for Naylor) who is much younger and Langstaff/ Mullin for Grigg, it seems a lot of wasted money.

Would be hilarious if they fail again in the weakest national league for a while. Can see Oldham doing well, and if Southend get it together...
As we sign a 35 year old striker! (Only joking)

I would take DM over WG anytime. Not sure that I would be that excited about Griggs having seen his goalscoring record over the last 5 or 6 years, although it has been at a higher level.
