Two more days is a lot different to Reeves. He probably knew of our interest in January and had an offer by May or June.1

So wonder who the triallist midfielder arriving on Monday will be?

Which Dawkins was better?Crusty54 said:Both Dawkins and Ward appeared pretty mobile during their 45 minutes today. Both looked worth signing.

I thought Dawkins looked a bit too muscular and not mobile enough. Maybe a decent player in there but I didn’t see a great deal0

A guess for Monday’s trialist. Rohan Ince. Free agent. Holding midfielder4

Now that’s a great shout. Played the last couple of seasons however with teams relegated from League One but doesn’t necessarily mean much if the team around him is poor. Remember he done very well at first for Brighton in the Championship.Moo said:A guess for Monday’s trialist. Rohan Ince. Free agent. Holding midfielder

Is that our new benchmark, if they are mobile they get a contract?Crusty54 said:Both Dawkins and Ward appeared pretty mobile during their 45 minutes today. Both looked worth signing.

2016/2017- 14 league games for Swindon
2017/2018- 22 league games for Bury and according to flashscore alot of those were subs in fact in 2018 he played over 45 minutes 5 times only, 3 under 45 minutes and 14 games where he was either unused sub or not in the team, that for a struggling team and be couldnt get in, doesnt fill me with confidence0 - Sponsored links:

Yes recently he may have struggled to play regularly, but both clubs struggled all round in each season he was there. They both had numerous problems and just because he didn’t feature much, doesn’t make him a bad player.paulie8290 said:

He played often enough for Brighton and played for Fulham briefly too. He also scored the only goal of the game when Brighton beat us back in 2015.
I am not saying he is the answer, not at all, but he is worth a look if we do get him on trial.
You don’t play for an ambitious Brighton side, who they were at the time in the Championship if you don’t have at least something half decent about you.1 -
Been mentioned on CL but according to Ketts, Diego Poyet is back in townDamoNorthStand said:So wonder who the triallist midfielder arriving on Monday will be?

I'd welcome Poyet back. Lost his way but a player in there.8

Poyet would be good0

Rohan Ince actually did really well at Swindon. Bury where very badly managed last season so maybe he can be forgiven for not performing. Still only 25 can play at centre back as well. Defiantly worth a look.1

This 48hour thing....isn’t if that the club he plays for have asked for another 48 hours, not the player? I assume so they can get their replacement in1

No but there were previous comments about their fitness. They covered a lot of ground yesterday and were running well. Ward certainly passes the height test.Holdkneebomb said:

Need 3 ball playing centre halves for that formation. I'm afriad none of them fit that criteria
You're joking! Sarr would be a Prem CB if not for defensive inconsistencies, due partly to lack of games in the right position with a settled back four. Good on both feet, quick so ideal for middle of a three. Hoddle like passing. Bauer not too shabby either and has made some great forays forward. OK Pearce is row Z but brings other attributes to table. Marshall makes more tackles than some past full backs so I'd be happy as 1st choice RB/RWB tbh.
Agreed. Sarr would be a Prem CB if he wasn't so poor. NB so would I.
Is there a competition going for the most cretinous post?
That’s quite a word to use when someone’s only expressed an opinion about a footballer.1 - Sponsored links:

I very much doubt we will be BUYING any players & I expect the ones we are talking to are all out of contract.Valley11 said:This 48hour thing....isn’t if that the club he plays for have asked for another 48 hours, not the player? I assume so they can get their replacement in
No doubt the players agent is spending the extended 48 hours ringing every club possible to see if there are any takers before the said player has to decide to sign for this shitfest of a club.1 -
The players being discussed in this thread highlight why we so desperately need the takeover to happen this week..
Our season will either be...
1. Free signings like 33yr old Elliott Ward which equals 6th - 14th place finish at best
Or
2. Takeover happens and we sign the best players in the league like Beccles... which equals top 2 finish0 -

Defiantly not saying he’s the answer. Just maybe worth a trial.3

If I were an agent for unconvincing ageing directionless crocks of players that nobody fancies, I would have Charlton Athletic on speed dial.
Is it not true we spend a shed load of money on agents fees?1 -
Pratley will be a good signing for us. Played a lot of games in the championship last season4

Was Bolton captain too3

We could do with a another leader on board.I-SAW-POUSO-PLAY said:Was Bolton captain too
Jason Pearce does a good job, but we lose drive and organisation when he's not playing.

Southend and an unnamed American club also in for Pratley.0

Player at that age and stage of his career - you get the chance to live in the US for a couple of years....... mls versus league one. Reckon then would go for mls every timemarkmc68 said:Southend and an unnamed American club also in for Pratley.
