    Reminds me of a joke.

    When does Toby Sho-Silva have his breakfast after Adebayo Azeez

    Surely, with the cutbacks, it would be: When does Toby Sho-Silva have his breakfast because Adebayo didn't Aveez.

    I reckon the triallists are just kids. Players like Poyet and Pratley wouldnt just get dumped in with the kids for the last quarter

    Maybe they will both be starting tomorrow, probably both there 1st games in months

    Elliott Ward is probably the one in Defence; Poyet could be the other

    Cant see Pratley being prepared to go on trial at clubs as sides should know how well he can do

    The Trialist twins have been signed, it would seem

    Thought that was KAG and RHF?

    Doesnt have a club so would be if he was on trial with us.

    Think the 2 trialists are Ward and either Poyet or Pratley

    Yesterday someone posted that he had signed.

    But if he has, it must be the best kept secret ever around the club.

    Pratley would tell clubs where to go if they asked him to sign on trial before being offered a Contract

    Not just about what he can do but how he fits in with the team.

    Most free agents in lower leagues have a trial even a short 1, before they get offered a contract

    Pratley played 30 times in the Championship last season though isnt exactly lower league especially when it comes to signing at level lower than the one he was last season - Be like that Japanese side asking Iniesta to play on trial before they commited

    Would also hope that if we're looking to sign him; Gallen and Bowyer would already have assessed videos of his performances to confirm if he'd suit our system or not

    Or he can only play as a trailist if he hasn't signed a contract yet?

    Last 30 mins line-up:
    Maynard-Brewer, Yao, Cummings, Stevenson, Mascoll, Trialist, Sarpong-Wiredu, Dempsey, Trialist, Hackett-Fairchild, Umerah. #cafc

    That line up looks totally U-23 Development squad.

    we will be told who the trialist twins are or will it be "undisclosed" like our transfers.

    shitfest of a club.

    Why would we name Dawkins (who is on trial) but not others? Seems strange.

    Good point!!

    Dont want Man Utd or Barcelona being aware of who we've got with the club and pinching them from under our noses

    The trialists are either players we don't others sniffing around or incognito as they don't want to be associated with their desperation in trying out for our joke of a club.

    My prediction

    119 - Goal Cambridge

    Former academy star Azeez pokes in from close range after mistake by Trialist 2-3

    Aren't they only dubbed 'triallist' when they're still under contract to another club?
    What's the point in keeping them anonymous in a bcd friendly if they're free agents? Their indentity will be obvious to all present.
    A free agent touting for work is hardly in a position to determine whether a prospective employer reveals they've played in a training game.

    FULL TIME | Charlton 2 @CambridgeUtdFC 2.

    A good run out for the lads at Sparrows Lane and the spoils are shared. #cafc

    That’s a very good 2-2 draw after being 3-2 down with a minute left
