    I wouldn’t rule youngsters out 100%, we’ve had a few gems (and plenty of duds)
    It’s chancy of course, with a player having 40/50 games under their belt you know what you’re getting. I might be optimistic (I can be sometimes, it doesn’t last long) but the thought of another Cork, Lansbury, Yates whets my appetite a little.

    It’s a secret!!
    I hope the set up in the match report was wrong – Gallimore RB and Rowe MF. Surely not. Or was it 3 CBs and WBs?

    I’m sure our commercial staff must spend hours brainstorming different scenarios to get bums on seats without upsetting the already prepaid season ticket holder’s.

    I don’t know what the commercial department consists of but I think you’re being extremely generous here. The club could save several wages and lots of time by simply employing one person to read Bru, pretend the ideas were theirs and action the serious ones.

    If that were the case, it would have made sense to publish these prices during the “early bird” season ticket period, surely? Then you could see what you were actually saving.

    Yes, I agree, I think the phrase “made sense” was probably the reason that wasn’t done. The club don’t have great recent history in the “sense” area.

    Two weeks into training and still only one signing. The 5 known trialists have been with us for 2 weeks, enough time for a decision to be made surely.
    Are they all still here?
    Are the players stalling hoping for a better offer?
    Are we close to other signings?
    Have we identified other trialists e.g. Peplow?
    Come on Lee, throw us some crumbs, the silence is deafening.

    A couple also from Championship club Middlesbrough so getting a good’un isn’t guaranteed. We should look at Peplow though, Huddersfield has been a happy hunting ground for us, Wallace, Lolley and Holmes weren’t bad.

    “Wolves and Bristol City players on trial at Notts County”

    An example of what we’ll be up against next season? A touch above Warrington Rylands! Mind you we’ve had a couple of duds from Wolves IIRC.

    I’m slightly concerned that the names of trialists has been revealed, although it’s something we’re all keen to know. Normally names are withheld so as not to alert other clubs to their availability. Does this mean that there is absolutely no chance that any other club could possibly be interested in the quality of player that we’re giving trials to?

    Behind youngsters Gallimore, Cribb, Moore-Billam from what I’ve seen plus any senior CMs we have when the season starts so unlikely to get game time IMO. Amazed we kept Shrimpton for the same reason.

    As for the goalkeeper issue …

    Watson (player of the season) still available.

    Is our budget really that low?
    His comments at the end of his time here did not suggest a return was likely though.

    Seems like a Huddersfield U23 Peplow played for us today. Another possible trialist? Judging by the text commentary he got involved when he came on.

    I thought I’d read he’d signed for Port Vale.

    Most of the defenders are used to playing with a line hugger (I think it’s what Mussy coaches) They’ll be completely baffled if we get a keeper that takes command of his box. We can hope.

    I’m sure that’s a senior moment les! Not John O’Shea surely, he’s no goalie.

    He usually disappears for a while when asked a question that can’t be answered without admitting he might be completely brainwashed by certain individuals. Sadly he is oblivious to the perilous reality of the current situation. He might be back in the unlikely event of a morsel of good news which he can spin into a major triumph or perhaps he has finally seen the light.

    Please can a moderator/SST ban me from replying on this forum. I waste far too much time replying to people who seem to enjoy nothing better than offering destructive comments about SUFC.

    Can you give us a few examples of these destructive comments please. I see plenty of justified criticism, it’s a football forum after all, but I’ll need reminding of a significant number of posts that could be classed as destructive.

    Neither does he have the experience we need in that vital position. Just an opinion of course.

    Shame some of our players couldn’t pass the ball as successfully as he passed his fag, they wouldn’t have got it back like he did.

    What’s the prediction every game every week?

    5 games every match day that The Iron are playing, selected by SST. Always includes our game, I’m sure SST will post the rules for newcomers. (Free Tip:- Iron nil usually gets you points)

    I’m still undecided about whether he needs a nippy partner or a target man alongside him. Doesn’t yet win enough in the air to convince me that’s his best role. According to the text commentary he seemed to be putting plenty of effort in and chasing a lost cause got him a goal. Plenty to prove but looks as if he’s going to give it a good go.

    Some of our worst signings ever have been ‘experienced’.

    It suits your argument to forget Townsend, Wallace, Keogh, Sharp, Hooper, Hayes, Holmes, Toney, Paterson, Yates, Hodges etc.

    Your argument, not mine, was about experienced signings being poor, I gave some examples to illustrate otherwise. What do the names you mention have to do with that?

    Why so ageist? How old were Cox, Stanton, Housham, Butler, Ridley, Sparrow, Haks etc when they made their debuts for the Iron.
    Some of our worst signings ever have been ‘experienced’.

    It suits your argument to forget experienced signings like Torpey, Beagrie, Mussy, Crozzer, Barra. Gilks et al and focus on Iwelumo, Ormondroyd, Horsfield, Johnson and the others.
