One thing that struck Mark Neeld on arrival was the age of our list and it's inexperience of games. Bolstering with mature age, stronger bodies was a strategic move. The taller brigade needed support so they got in Mitch Clark and James Sellar.
The same with the midfield in getting Tom Couch and James Magner. And for a key forward support, 21 yo Leigh Williams.
It's arguable if the previous FD had identified or had even planned to target 5 out of 8 mature draft recruits. Did BP have a say in each of these ? Or did Neeld have a greater influence ?
Each one of these recruits will be a must watch, one way or another
