Were any of the top management 3 watching?

Did any of the triallists make an impression?

What difference does that make?

What difference does that make?

Steady on Silent. No agenda. It would be very encouraging if any of them were there, that's all.

Looking for positives, that would be one -you know, one-club culture, spotting the next Louis Reed, same ethos at all levels to enable seamless steps up each level,working and getting to know Morgan and the way he works, encouraging the young hopefuls by showing they have the chance to impress the bosses.

I'm a very contented fan and looking forward to a year of progress and entertaining football.

Look at my signature on here, that's what I'm wishing for.

Thanks for the report, not a bad ground up there

Did any of the triallists make an impression?

The only trialist worth another look, was ex Wed midfielder Glenn Law, who kept it simple, and rarely lost possession. Sadly, Ross Colquhoun, Liam Bennett, and Cameron Murray looked below the required standard.

Stand out players were Joel Coustrain, who scored a sensational winner, picking up the ball inside his own half, and beating 3 men, before angling a shot across Sam Andrew, and David Brooks, again.

Whether they were there or not makes no difference to me. If NA and his staff gets our 1st team promotion at the end of the season without watching any of the u21s matches then that is good enough for me

Adkins wasnt there, as far as I could see. Lee Turnbull was however oh and Louis Reed was, not sure if he counts as top 3 staff though

I thought the big ginger kid in the middle did alright, cant remember his name though? Seemed a lot better than he did against penistone. Otis Khan had another good game (well half) and scored a cracking free kick

Brilliant. Head Scout watching various hopefuls and assessing current strengths. Brilliant.

Louis Reed watching his mates and supporting them. Brilliant.

That`s Alex Wiles from Rotherham United, he did ok didn`t he.
Khan scored a good free kick, but I doubt he will make the grade, IMO.
