There are similar comments to this on Twitter, and from the usual culprits. Just because you don't notice an opposition player, doesn't mean nobody else does, does it? You only notice opposition players in the EFL because playing against them every season makes them more recognisable. You notice them more. It's recognition bias. The likes of Dan Mooney are well-known at this level to clubs who are constant presences here, but less recognisable to many of us because it's our first season at this level. I also suspect many fans subconsciously ignore opposition players at this level because in the backs of their minds they feel we're too big for this division and won't be here for long.

Here are the facts:

Mooney looked a cut above against us.

He scored 13 goals for a mid-table team.

He has been constantly raved about on numerous dedicated non-league social media accounts and podcasts.

He is in most of the VNL Teams of the Season that I've seen so far.

Members of our highly-qualified football department, led by a man who knows what it takes to get out of this division well enough to have done it a record three times, have watched him extensively this season and saw fit to make him one of our prime targets.

That's more than enough to get me excited. There has been EFL interest in him. We got in there early and convinced him to come here. The rest of the division will see it as a statement signing. Just take the win.

Slightly over the top response! I wasn’t dismissing him as a player at all nor specifically anyones opinion. Simply said I don’t recall him so was surprised others rated him so highly from when he played against us! Turns out they were referring to the away game which I did not attend so have no opinion on.

As I also said, I hope he turns out to be the player everyone think he is!
