I'm not sure I believe you!Thanks - hadn't seen it!
Even the no.2?
Was Barnard playing as right-back? I wouldn't have thought that a priority (given O'Connor, Pead, Osborne and Dark as options there) unless the 2nd half pairing of Pead and O'Connor in midfield is something TB has in mind
First half at rb, second half as a holding midfielder. Didn't impress greatly in either position but probably better in midfield.
I was very impressed by Mr Shakes on the Right Flank, Very quick and work hard too.
eff all end product though. He'll need to improve a lot to be worth a deal. Looks like the reports from the Swindon fans were spot on from last night.
The only triallist i thought was worth a mention was the No.8 Gary Smith, i thought he played well, especially in his tackling. the No.2 Barnard was ok but no better than what we have already. the No.11 was quiet, didn;t do that much. the No.7 Shakes didn't impress me.No better than Brooker/Peters/Ide. The No.20 wasn't commanding enough up front as Thorpe was.

No great shakes, then?... the No.7 Shakes didn't impress me ...

Sticking to the topic......Nick Wright trialing today ex Brum trainee..playing well apparantly
whoever nick wright is, he's worth a look. he was strong, and fought for the ball, getting through the defence to try a shot or try and make a pass. one of the best players on the pitch all match, and played only 45 minsshame.
Did the guy look like this?

even shakes and mk dons smith and him i thought these 3 would of got contractsI had a conversation with The trialist Knisiel on the tube back to acton
he told me that ALL of the trialists including himself have been turned down.
He also said that he believes that Thorpe has only signed for the money and he is looking terrible.Also he told me that Swindon are interested in brooker.
And that butcher desperitley is trying to get rid of brooker and heywood.
is that turned down full stop or turned down until players are offloaded BFChero?
No he said that terry doesent want them and kindly sed do one personaly to them.![]()

options
1) hes knows alot for a trialist about other players
2) If true we're going to get much better trialists in
3) this is the more unfortunate option- we have to off load before we can offer any new deals.Dyke is a **** with a big mouth and feck all back up substance and hes the last one you'd like to be with in a trench in the 1st WW,but being chairman is still " fun "
In hoping its that one,but would you reject a new contract from a Premiership club to come and play in league 2?

This is absolute b*llocks and will be proved when some of the so called trialists who have been turned down, turn out this week at the friendlies.
1) Because there are players who are on trial who TB and AS want to sign and 2) Because a trialist wouldn't know jacksh*t about what TB and AS want to do with players under contract - this may be sour grapes talking as the German may have been turned down or you are making up a load of old tosh.![]()
I can say now Gary Smith will be signing as TB has called him in monday, plus his agent was sat with him during the game and TB was discussin where to play him, in front of the bak 4 or in the middle, garys agent said he'd be mad not to sign him. I know this cause im Garys best mate probs why this is my only post so far but he'll be the best player in the team ask mkdons fans who didnt wanna see him leave just had a bad season thru injry, stays fit, championship player in leage 2, best signing i reckon u can hope for.

IMO we should not be rushing to give anyone a deal after a fair 45 mins against Staines.I wasn't impressed with him yesterday either.Smith may well be a decent player but i would like to see abit more from him first.

Did the muted sobbing have much effect on your match viewing pleasure?TB was sitting right behind me for the whole 90 minutes....didnt even go to the dressing rooms at half time.

Is he that good that he demanded his own thread even though it's fairly obvious from the other thread that his first name is Ian but no one knows what his surname is? :shrug:

Kevin Smith's now on trial at Lincoln so I guess he want be joining us.
