theres something your all missing.
It shows 2 things.

1. we have a good enough nucleus in the squad that we can bring in non league players hoping they establish themselves and make the step up. But the core of the squad is able to survive at this level (good enough for League 2). This is an important sign for the club as we are not able to go out and purchase proven league 2 and above talent.

2. it give players who are coming st stanley hope that they will get a crack at the football league. They are under no illusion, if you fail you are out. But in return they get to play in the football league and a chance to 'make it'.

I can only see it as a positive we take players out of the non league and take gambles on them improving.
In most cases they seem to be average/poor at league 2 level. I would rather have a player who is motivated to prove himself from the BS north than another journey man like Rogers.
