    Apparently we're looking at this lad, along with others of course, 20 goals so far for Ilkeston.

    No thanks. We’ve been down this route time & time again, 99/100 it never works.

    I've no problem with the club giving lads like this a chance but hopefully it's one for the future as the here and now is a alot to ask.

    Tom Cursons.......23, if he's one for the future, I'm happy for one of our rivals to spot him, still playing for Ilkeston in the 7th tier. Stop it.

    Same age as Aiden Marsh who has been in a pro setup for 10 years plus and can't quite cut it.
    Marsh to Ilkeston is much more logical than Curzons to Barnsley

    Andy Dallas was pretty prolific in the 5th tier but couldn't make the step up. Other strikers seem to score for fun at all levels. If BFC think he's worth a punt then I'll trust their judgement.

    Our record with making non league players first team regulars has been shocking this century.

    Who was the last non-league signing who was successful for us? Anyone since Bullock and Sheridan?

    Marc Roberts, George Williams. Although Ilkeston is abit lower down the pyramid.

    First two were from the 5th tier, not the 7th and Williams is stretching it a bit to list as successful, certainly nowhere near the other two.

    Tom Cursons is joint top scorer in what is effectively one of four division seven’s.

    I’ve no issue with giving people a go but he can’t be the only centre forward we are looking to bring in.

    Some will work, some won't. Same as all signings Cosgrove and Benson bought from higher league opposition haven't really been successful.

    All good examples, but none of them strikers. Our record with non league strikers is very poor.
