I certainly hope with our new professional approach we won't be having any trialists .

Surely we've identified people and aren't needing to go down that route 

 

 

Clubs should always give a trial or two out there imo as you never know what or who you might stumble on released from higher up the ladder.

Didn't Conlon have a trial?

A couple of the signings in recent weeks have said in their interview that the deal was done a couple of weeks before the reveal so they've kept a tight lid on the 5 so far. The only one that was rumoured was Wilson. I don't think anyone has said it would definitely happen tomorrow, more that it would make sense, especially as we don't have a keeper and there will be no keeper to model it which would be strange considering the lengths they've gone for this new kit launch.

Could be wrong but what you say fits as i believe several were done or lets say agreed a bit ago,there could be a few reasons why they aren't being announced yet

He did. Looked quality as well. That said, weren't Mills and Fitzpatrick also?

Not sure,didn't we just sign them with no trial

Definitely not re fitzpatrick. He may have just been training with us though

Yes training that seems to ring a bell.... not sure we played enough games in pre season for trialists to play

I'm pretty sure Fitzpatrick did play at least one friendly. He joined on trial on the 15th August, we played Fleetwood on the 18th (with three trialists in the team) and then he signed a one year deal on the 25th.

who were the other trialists rob?

I wonder if we have had a trialist who played in friendlies for us but we didn't take him on only to regret it as they went on to better things?

I remember watching now i cant remember if it was Randy Samuel or Stephane pounewatchy play on trial in a reserve game at vale and they had a blinder and got signed up but then did nowt
If it was big Randy I recall him scoring in front of the bycars on either his debut or home debut?

There were at least five others in addition to Fitzpatrick but it was down to three by the time of the Fleetwood friendly:

  • Dino Visser
  • Harvey Bradbury (now with Oxford City)
  • Rhys Lovett (now a goalscoring keeper for Maidenhead Utd) - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57209623
  • Kieran Hayes (now with Truro City)
  • Ethan Beckford (now with Hyde Utd)

The last four certainly don't appear to be FL standard which I guess is symbolic of that summer's recruitment.

We had Gareth Evans on trial who went on to have a good career (85 goals/483 apps) playing for the likes of Portsmouth, Bradford and Rotherham

Can't think of any others though!
