Has he had that good of a season really? Following Worcester's twitter he never seemed part of the goals.
He seems to be very good every 5 or 6 games but he certainly never appeared to show much consistency or end product considering how highly rated he is by some.

Yo DarkSithLord, what are your thoughts on Cliff Moyo? We've signed him off of you lot.

We've had him for two separate spells, and he looks a good athlete, pretty poor footballer. Was okay-ish at right-back, and dreadful at centre-back in a few friendlies. Bit older now though.
Also the only player I've ever seen take a throw-in directly upwards and have it land on the back of his head.

Another one our chairman says we "retained" only for him to sign for another club. More evidence of the joke we are at the moment. Shambles doesnt quite cut it. Anyway..

Not a big fan of Cliff myself. The lad tries but everything looks awkward for him and his can easily be caught out of position and can be prone to lapses in concentration. Quite a few fans liked him and he improved as the season went on from very poor to average. I for one wont be disappointed to see him leave.

Thanks! Last time we went to Alfresco, one of their players cocked up a throw-in my accidentally dropping it at his feet. He had to obstruct it as a result (was near his own touchline) and was subject to a few ironic cheers. Maybe it's summat they look out for o'er there.

Darn. At least we had to prize him from yous. Shirely that counts for summat? Hoping that Heath has captured him as a young, hungry future prospect who he's recognised as talented. Not much evidence of that yet eh!

Chorley have just signed Marcus Carver from L2 Accrington Stanley, he turned down a new deal offer from Stanley in order to play regularly and improve his game. Very pleased with this signing.

I am extremely surprised you paid a fee for him! Hope it works out for him at The Shay. He is lovely lad who will give his al for the cause you can be sure of that.

Best signing you have made so far by a mile.

We've signed Joe Hanks from Cheltenham, he was on loan with us for last season. Wasn't impressed to start off with, especially as he's played practically an entire league 2 campaign for them before, but last few months of the season he really came good. We're in a battle with FGR for Leroy Odiero from Bishops Cleeve (When I say a battle, if they don't want him we'll sign him. We can't compete with their wages!) and Karnell Chambers who is also being tracked, bizarrely, by Ross County of the Scottish Premiership.

From a local journalist "Understand #Harriers will be announcing another signing shortly as John Eustace and Matt Gardiner kick-on with pre-season training."

No idea what to expect from this division. I've seen a couple of Worcester games in recent years, but not enough to work out how we 'should' do based on the players we are recruiting. I think we're building a fairly decent team though and provided we can keep Fane and Ngwatala, I'd like to think we could be pushing for the playoffs.

Yeah happened a couple of days ago.

Heath's gonna bring the dugouts from Ferriby next
Chris Sutton described him, indirectly, as 'a head on a stick', which was perhaps a little blunt but not far off the truth.

He was very promising here as a 17/18 year old, but like a few before and after him, they don't kick on as you'd expect.

Dibble was very solid when we had him on loan a couple of years back.

Might have missed it, but he hardly seemed to be mentioned last season.

Danny Hone is probably one of the better more consistent CB's in the Conf North. Has always impressed me when I have seen him against County and a couple of times against Altrincham when i have ventured over that way.

I wouldn't be surprised if we did sign him, assuming that he impresses during his trial, if he went out on loan. You never know, he might even head your way!

Barrow knocked us out of the Trophy 3 years ago when they were bottom of CN and Carver scored both goals as loanee.

He was good for us in his first loan spell, barely played in his second. I'd hope he's progressed a bit since then though, as he didn't look all that amazing to be honest.

Does anyone have a really good website or publication that will give an overall summary of the signings made by clubs and bit of a preseason review? Only regularly started buying the non league paper last season and wanted to check if there was fourfourtwo/wsc pre-season guide for our level?

We've signed Matty Kosylo from Nantwich who was excellent for us in the trophy.

Also, some rumours going round about a swap between Jake Lawlor and Kingsley James
