It's pretty easy really. With a club of Stanley's size and resources, the majority of the players we have are really of non-league standard and ability. Apart from the few we manage to sell on (Craney, Roberts, etc), the rest would struggle to make the grade at league level.

For example, only two of last season's released players went on to play league football and looking at the Chester line-up for Saturday, Harris was on the bench and Mannix wasn't in the squad.

I'm not rubbishing the players or the club, we do amazingly with what we have. However, it's not that hard to work out why so few of our players find regular football at other league clubs.
