These lads seem great on paper & hopefully settle in & gel quick.

Decent spread of gnarly older experienced League players & some young hungry rough diamonds but from solid league clubs backgrounds & the benefits of their training structures etc.

Surely we will have enough to survive & kick on again next term.
Morecambe and accy stanley proving this to massively untrue.

He's saying that despite Morecambe and Accy's size in relation to some of their competitors, they've managed to recruit well enough to stay competitive and in the latter's case progress in the EFL.
Popular side since '03.

They appear to be well run football clubs.

Saw Accrington play Bolton just before the lockdown last season and they looked a very well organised team that made very few errors at the back! Seems to be the key to safety in the lower leagues.

That still doesn't disprove anything stated in the original post.

Because they've both been in the EFL for a prolonged period of time

Very small teams though purchasing excellent players.

Established League clubs, More centrally located for the major NW cities that produce the most players, Not in a relegation dog fight, I didn’t say it’s impossible to attract players & only a fool would think otherwise.
