    Back to the future.

    Rory is back much improved no doubt by the handful of games in the 3 years he’s been away.

    Let’s also go back to a back 5 even though we still haven’t signed any wing backs. At least last year we had 4 centre backs to cope with the inevitable injuries and suspensions the position attracts.

    When do the back up centre back and right back arrive from York?

    Probably the only way to make Campbell look like a number one.

    Unbelievable Jeff.

    If you can’t be good be lucky.

    Deery was watching on a different channel to me.

    They somehow managed to miss on the highlights reel the incident in the first half when he came for a right wing cross that he got nowhere near to leaving the Cleethorpes forward to miss a sitter.

    He was the second best player on show on Tuesday night after Ewing.

    Given the next best 2 on show were Frod’s 7 and 9 then he at least deserves another game or two. He has pace which is exactly what made Mo a good option.

    Carlton can move but pace is not an asset for Whitehall, Beck, Beestin, Dawson or Howe.

    Spot on WG that’s who ir was.

    On that showing deserves another 2 or 3 weeks/games to see if he can fill Mo’s boots.

    To be fair Campbell only let in the first of the three. Trialist keeper couldn’t do much about the other two.

    The second half back 4 however, 3 of whom started the play off final, could and should have done something about App Frods equaliser and winner.

    App Frod’s right winger had a fine game and their centre forward took his goals well.

    Skillful lad albeit against relatively mediocre opposition. Would have had a hat trick first half with reasonable finishing.

    Hope Ewing can do it against better sides but it’s refreshing to see a midfielder running the game. Long time since we have had a midfielder with the balls to even try it.

    Eastwood is 29 in October and managed a season and a half of games in mens professional football.

    Hoping for a better back up for Maison.

    So according to that Maison is currently worth about 10 bob.

    The only way is up.

    Unusual to be naming the trialists.

    Raj Uppal?

    Too many Dawes’ to have a clue but CB perhaps?

    Last season all National League games were livestreamed including Saturday 15:00 kick-offs.

    You can buy/watch any in the UK except 15:00 Saturdays. You can buy/watch those games from anywhere abroad or by using a suitable VPN that convinces DAZN that you are abroad.

    He looked 2 yards short of NLN pace when he arrived but had hardly played at Solihull so no surprise.

    A bit of game time and he only looked a yard off the pace towards the end of the season.

    Given this league is a yard quicker again than NLN he is a player in desperate need of a strong preseason so glad he’s turned up.

    Can’t see him being anything other than a plan C hoof it up the field option when trying to salvage a point or 2. Even then Boycie likely to get the nod first if he’s on the bench as well.

    Go on Mark. Prove me wrong please.

    We know he’s good enough – would he be prepared to come and prove his fitness for a couple of weeks?

    34 and no contract so he can not be too choosy. Was my kind of midfielder back in the day.

    Real shame Barrows is not fit as he is a good right back and half decent centre back. A loanee until Jan with the same skill set would be good. Might free up a slot for a mobile but aggressive midfielder everyone seems to agree we need in this league.

    First choice keeper required.

    1 centre back – 2 if Maxi has gone with 1 being a starter.

    2 midfielders needed. 1 holding player with physical presence and one left sided with a bit of pace.

    One of the above outfield players needs to be able to deliver quality right footed deadballs. If Clunan was the best we had then nobody in the current squad is up to scratch.

    You might be crediting our football authorities with more common sense than they have ever previously demonstrated Awaywego.

    Recent history suggests winning away at the league champions.

    Not a second of it.

    Not many Americans pitching up to watch it either.

    We might look back on this joke of a tournament as the moment so called top level football disappeared up it’s own greedy backside.

    Friendly at Bottesford on Friday 4th July so I’m guessing Monday 30th June.

    Who’s ready for the annual identity the trialists game?

    National League sides are often very strong in the air from corners, wide free kicks and long throws based on our season in that league.

    At least one midfielder that is tall/strong in the air is always useful.

    Agree Les. Best distribution of any keeper in my time by a margin.

    Pretty decent at the other stuff.

    Done. 1st prediction is I will finish fairly close to Deery – assuming his above prediction is a good one.

    I also have a pair of Iron tinted glasses like Sanfran. To be fair they have been nowhere near as damaging these last 2 seasons as they were the 5 seasons previous.
