Quoted from Norseman

We have had success and failure taking players from that level .But last decent 1 was Bogle and he was not as low as NLN

Bogle was from NLN, but we were in the NL when we took a chance.

He clearly has skill and an eye for goal, it's whether Hurst has the patience with him (or the player has the patience) to be a long term project. Stephen Wearn looked like he would be but it didn't work out that way.

Liam Hearn and Omar Bogle were both top scorers in NLN for Alfreton and Solihull respectively, so I guess good players can be found at that level.

Hearn was brilliant in NL but never made it in the FL. Omar looked great for half a season in L2, and looking at how his career progressed since then, that's probably been his limit.

If we're to sign anyone from that level, you'd have to be looking at the top scorers. Look at how Macauley Langstaff did for County after doing well for Gateshead in their promotion.

Any strong performers for Fylde, for example, may have a chance here as a genuine first-teamer, beyond that anyone we sign from NLN will be squad player at best (to begin with).

Hearn would have made it in EFL were it not for injuries.

I suppose it’s a question of long term strategy & identity. The owners & Hurst have spoken about looking beyond the immediate and thinking terms of where we want to be in the medium & long term. Last summer’s recruitment was understandable given the quick turnaround & circumstances, this year will give more opportunity to think beyond “consolidation” in 12 months time.

Do we want to be a club who take a chance of players like this, in the hope they’ll come good and might turn a healthy profit a year or two down the line? Hurst is inconsistent in this regard, he’s shown with Khouri that he’s willing to let players progress but the lad made his debut two years ago and has barely troubled the team sheet since. Maybe other managers would’ve thrown him in earlier? He’s also shown he’s not averse to getting rid of young players if they don’t set the world alight, like Wearne this year.

Hurst is really under no pressure other than from the fans, and ultimately this counts for little as it’s the owners who’ll sack him - and they’ve shown they have no plans to do so.

I still think Faal is worth a look from Havant 21 in 43 in conference South , seen him play a couple of times 6 foot 5 ,a  lanky nuisance can play out wide as well up top.

Some one will take a gamble on him so why not us?

Hurst won't be complacent just because he has the backing of the board and is not under threat of the sack. We are now going down the same recruitment road that serves Brighton and Brentford so we'll of data analysis. Before we had to rely on scouts watching players and word of mouth. He still managed to find some decent players, so hopefully with all this new sports science he can earth some hidden gems that others miss.
Interesting times.

Faal? I’ve heard that guy is red hot.

His brother is at West Brom who is also a giant target man. Scored 10 in 16 on loan at AFC Flyde this season.

Wonder how big their Naan is?
