Horlicks Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Heard Jonathan Benteke was one of the trialists against Fylde yesterday, his scoring record doesn't suggest he would be the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlayItLivo Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 The answer is two defenders and a keeper. We'll go down without a fight unless we significantly improve at the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping for some better news tomorrow. Seems like we'd be better off signing their players than imports.

Hands on Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 To show my ignorance (again). Is it usual to have trialists in the January window. Surely this is something you do before the season starts to check on a players form. Shouldn't we be signing players who have played games and who have been assessed by someone for us. Trialists speaks of a van full of people with names we have never heard of before. They are unlikely to be the answer for a team staring at relegation because there is no time to acclimatise to league 1 football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the management team were looking at players for the first time yesterday and being expected to make a decision on them then that can’t be good. I would hope that the scouting and recruiting is carried out much more professionally than that but I’m far from convinced. The last lot of foreign imports hardly set the place alight - Omrani, Mouache, Menig, to name but three. I do wonder whether Shez earlier in the season and RW currently are being ‘given’ these players and being told that they are going to be signed. Hope that isn’t the case because apart from it being unfair on the manager, they have been, on the whole, sub-standard. Not being negative just saying it as I see it.

Abdallah stated in the press conference that Richie Wellens has final say over players did he not? I reckon we may see two or three join today but no more.

If you don't think he is influencing what players come in you must be incredibly naive given the amount of sub standard dead wood we have clogging the training pitch up that RW has little interest in playing.

Lee Sinnott Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Doyle coming in. Foreigners coming in. After an experienced centre back, was after Morgan at Wigan. Dunno if he still is.
