Hopefully this'll remind Ron

I think it'll take more than this!!

I know it was only Chertsey, but what did this boy Geddes look like. He's on trial from Leeds University. Does anyone know anything about him?

sods! got my hopes up with this thread!

GROWL, GROWL

I thought he looked good. As I said on the Big Match. For a new boy, apart from train with the team this was his first run out. He looked very good, very good ball control quick and made some intelligent runs off the ball and didn't get knocked off once. Difficult to say given the opposition how he would fair in the 2nd Div but if I was to rate him and Charles i would give 8/10 Geddis and 6/10 Charles IMHO on the night. He was brought down heavily which brought about our penalty which did slow him down for the rest of the first half. He was through and I felt he had a good scoring opportunity had he got that and had Charles squared the ball instead of blasting it into the side netting he could have had 4 as he was perfectly positioned to take the pass having lost his defender.I think he is worth a further look at and judging by Wally Downes comments to him at half time ( I was near the dugout and overheard the conversation) he may well do also. Watch this space . Anyone else there who feels the same or am I clutching at straws, in the desperate need for the club to find a striker.

Owusu scored twice against India. Abbey scored twice against Hampton and Richmond.

I'm not sure. But having seen him play I think he is worth a longer trial. Regardless of the opposition his control and touch leaves Owussu dead in the water. Oh yes, he can also head a ball and pass to a Brentford player.

. Is... Is... Is that possible? That a Brentford player can do all of those things

 

[Gee Bee]

Must be worth a try in a few reserve games, see how he fairs. One of the best forwards I saw against us last season was Lee Trundle and Wrexham picked him up from Rhyl and he scored goals immediately in div 2. You just never know!!

From what I saw he is probably worth a three month contract. I sure he will get better. Remember he was playing in basically our reserve team.

From the chertsey game it was a reserve team anyway. I would give him a contract play him in the reserves and see how he does. If OK bring him on the bench
