They used to have a good supply of young players who hadnt been offered professional contracts at Boro and older players at the end of their careers.Rooted to the bottom three of the table, first win of the season yesterday. Lost two of their best players at the start of the season, one went to Darlo and I'm not sure of the other one.
I think it's down to the leagues been restructured over the past few seasons. Whitby used to be one of the top clubs with the pick of the best players in this area due to location and pyramid position. Not so much anymore as aswell as having the likes of Spennymoor, Darlington and Scarborough all in leagues above them they now have to contest for players with the likes of Marske, Stockton, Bridlington, Pontefract, Ossett Tadacster and further north the likes of South Shields, Morpeth, Dunston, North Shields and Consett.
I hope Matty and Groundsi get the place sorted.
