Just back in from Gainsboro.

Nothing much to report, no real concerns.
Pleased Oddjob scored, up to here that Humey came on.... and nearly scored with his first touch.... A HEADER !!!!
Heslop seems a good lad in midfield.
BUT, and I don't like to say too much about one particular player, I'm afraid, very afraid for our big lad at the back, Darren Moore.
To me he looks too slow now, seemed to find it a struggle to get in the air to win headers (overweight?), and his passing of the ball is once again very one-dimensional. It has to be on his right foot for him to be able to kick it, mainly across the back line to a fellow defender.... you know exactly what I mean.
Nice few reds fans there.
15 minutes to get home, makes a bloody change !

 

How did the trialists do?

 

Trialists any good?

 

Trouble is, I don't have any idea who they are !!!!!

Coloured lad at left back, did ok first half. I was sitting behind Davey and he was praising this lad for his efforts.
Fair haired lad next to Moore. Again did ok but nothing special, but then again nothing wrong.
Coloured lad down left side. Ok, willing to take players on, one or two good crosses.
Is that all of them?
Sorry can't be more informative.

 

coloured lad???? not sure thats PC!!!

Thanks for your info!!! the winger is pryor!! n full back is glele!! n centre half the german!!

 

My mate reckons Darren was told to play it to the left wing when at all possible to test out the trialists, may be something in it...

German centre back looked ok, I suspect he may get pretty good in a few years (is he young enough for the development squad?!). Heslop and Hugo were both 50:50, half there stuff was good the other half rubbish. JCR kept running out of space per usual, Hume hasn't lost his acceleration and Ode has a new string to his bow, he can now also knock the ball sideways. JCR picked up a twinge late on and was almost replaced by starter Sodje.

 

left winger

Left wing trialist seemed to start well then drop off, Davey commented on his substitution (when he left at far side of pitch and walked around) "see what I mean about him?" which I took to mean he was either unfit or highly strung. Of course, it could mean "What a player, let's sign him"!

 

The left back we had on trial had a good game and I was quite impressed. The left winger had no clue at all and looked lost. The centre half did nothing wrong and would be one for our development squad as previously mentioned. The left back was the stand out trialist for me and had a really good game. Looked fairly knackered though when he left the field and walked round so would guess he needs plenty of fitness work. Was fantastic to see Hume back in action and nearly score a header as soon as he came on. A tad overweight but a great sight for the fans. Odejayi looked very unmotivated and uninspired and doesn't look like he wants to be in the shirt. Just hope he can continue this good form in to the new season and change a few people's mind. Overall, fairly average but a couple of good performances.

 

RE: Trouble is, I don't have any idea who they are !!!!!

Aye, who was that blacky with the crazy flat-top? Put a few decent crosses in first half, a few nice touches but drifted in and out of the game too much for me. The other darky at left back had a good game though like you say! (Y)
