I like Vaughan and I am pleased he has signed. With the majority of the players we want to keep now under contract, it will make a pleasant change to have some familiar faces at the club next season, rather than the revolving door of loanees and players on short-term deals we have become used to in recent years.
As regards our playing style under Brabin, I would not say we were a long ball team. We play more football than most sides at this level and our midfield possession is good at times. However, a lot of the midfield play is pedestrian and dull and we have lacked a cutting edge; hopefully that problem is now being addressed.
With regard to Wrexham, I have not been impressed with their transfer dealings so far. Most of their decent players have left and been replaced by journeymen or unproven players from lower divisions. Offering one-year contracts seems to have hurt them badly and I would be surprised if they are seriously challenging for promotion next season. Barrow and Gateshead appear more of a threat at this stage, and I still think Torquay might be a good outside bet.
