Draper played 81 times for County (Going by Soccerbase) in 4 years and 13 times in the league last season. 3 year deal is madness 😂

Are Cove fulltime? 

As far as I know they were still part time last season but have ambition to go full time soon.

If they remain part time this season it'll mean Tuesdays and Thursday nights for training and all day Saturday, that'll suit Vigurs and Draper as it will mean they can remain up here with the family.

He had one assist, which for a winger in the 1st division is pretty poor. Most of his goals were penalties.

He’s a centre half.

Callum Morris on trial I hear.

Seriously good CB for the second tier if he stays fit.

Miles Storey has just signed for Hereford…

Will he be any good in Conference North? 

Thank you. 

What sort of standard is the Conference North? If it is League 1/2 level then he should be fine.

He generally just hits the ball 5-10 yards ahead of him and runs after it then hits a cross either straight out for a goal kick or it is cleared by the first man. Will occasionally score a decent goal amongst missing about 10 easier chances.

Storey is a striker who gets played as a winger as he's rapid.  The can't deliver balls in to the box for shit.  His finishing is decent.  He's a competent Scottish Premiership striker IMO, as proved when he played there for us in 15/16.

Miles is rapid, excellent physically and should have developed into a top player. He has some brilliant moments in amongst lots of… poor ones. Could never question his work ethic, always gave his all.

Unfortunately, as Ralf Rangnick once described Oli Burke, it’s like having a Rolls Royce with no engine. Was a good servant for us and unplayable on his day, unfortunately he didn’t have enough of those days to get us to the level we aspire to reach.

This is what I thought. 

Should be a great signing at Conference North.

Storey is one of these players who's demeanor makes him look better than he is.  In terms of pace he's electric, but he can only run in a straight line and often doesn't take the ball with him.  His finishing is mediocre at best.  In his first season back with us he was often played on the wing which was often used as an excuse for his poor performances.  Last season he was used more as a striker and his performances didn't improve very much.  
It's strange as in his first spell he was a great player - one of the first names on the team sheet and was a fairly regular scorer in the Premiership.  You'd think he'd be a great player in the league below, especially given Robbo played a far more attacking, direct style than the slow, often cumbersome stuff Hughes played that season, yet he looked a shadow of that player.
In saying that, I wouldn't have been disappointed had he signed a new deal but at the same time aren't too disappointed to see him go.
