"As he has said lots of times, there's loads to improve on but we'll get there."
"The market that we're fishing in at the moment is a tough one because, unless you're going to pay money for players, you're not going to get the player who is playing every week and is the ready-made article. You're getting the ones who aren't getting what they want at their parent-clubs."

Hartlepool United midfielder Nathan Sheron has been named in the National League team of the week following his impressive showing against Forest Green Rovers.
