Final friendly before the season opener next week. I assume we'll see Parky's expected starting 11 on the pitch at some point. For me it's getting the forward line minutes together as most haven't played many pre season minutes together this far. So Hulme up top, Conn Clark in the 10, Ryan and Alex on the wings.
Interesting to see whom Utd field, against Wrexham the other day, many 1st teamers got a run out, although with Utd first team playing Saturday and Sunday doubt, there will be many at out game. Perhaps Ronnie if not in the good books LOL.

Spread that rumour and we’ll have a bumper gate even if they’re only made up of the world’s press! 🥳
-
Yes. It'll be great to see the starting eleven that Parky considers to be our best team. (if we do, that is).
We have 19 or 20 for our first team squad plus the half dozen academy graduates.
Do we think they will go out on loan or play for the reserves?
-
PS. Has anyone any idea when the team photo will be up on one of the sites?

It’s on Facebook

Thanks mate!
Sadly I don't do bookface.🙄
I suppose it'll come on the official or JL site soon. 🤞
-
I think most of the Man U team will consist of younger players, but whichever team they send they will certainly be a good test for Alty.
-
Utd have some very highly rated youngsters such as Mainoo, Wellens and N Ireland international Galbraith
-
Would be good to have some update on injuries more generally. Barrows has gone AWOL and no Lundstram in the squad.

Listen to Parkie's interview on the main website

Full time score anybody?
I am about to give up trying Radio Alty / Robins - it keeps dropping on my tablet. No text scores either!

Alty 2 Man U 1 Dinanga x 2

Have we signed Tom Pugh yet? Or is he still a trialist?

Trialist. A poor man's Isaac Marriott IMHO.

Probably need him for now or another central midfielder

A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon at Alty today.
The lads seemed a lot fitter having the bonus of training every day.
Back four were very good.
Young Ollie Byrne is looking like a great keeper
Midfield was good.
And up top we scored 2 goals well done Marcus keep it up fella.
When the subs came on they all put in a good shift.
A very pleasing outcome and I’m looking forward to the season starting next Saturday.
Onwards and Upwards
Cmon Alty.

How did Alex Samizadeh get on, assume he played half the 2nd half? Had a neighbours party today and could not go.

He put in a decent enough performance, but the standout trialist was the Albanian guy on the right wing, Egli Kaja. Has been with AFC Wimbledon, and had loan spells at Northampton and Livingston. Laid on both goals, but my reservation is that his stats show that he's not a goal scorer.

He was very good when he came on. Hope we keep him. He may not score many but he will sure set plenty up for others to knock them in
-
Lots of positives. All the subs looked decent. The 12 (Hussain?) and Samizadeh really caught the eye and made the difference.
Pugh is a massive no for me

I was told that Barrows will miss the first couple of games with a little knock
-
There is a match report on the club's website now.
-
When you consider the players missing yesterday through injury etc. I really think that Phil & Sorvs have put together a really good squad of players for the coming campaign, and with the added bonus of being able to work with them on a full time basis is really encouraging.

I wasn't really a fan, myself. Did it have a happy ending?

Wholeheartedly agree.
However we do seem to have a larger squad than was envisaged don't we?
Will be interested to see what the final signed up squad looks like and I assume this will be announced sometime in the coming week leading up to the Maidstone game.
PS. It's a very difficult job for Parky and Sorvs as a number of players as yet not signed up look pretty useful.
-
Egli Kaja would certainly be on my keep list

Didnt see him but sounds like he impressed.Tough call for pp on one appearance as a sub.Hope Lundstram is fit for next week
-
Surely we have the power to offer 3-6 month contracts in situations like this, like we did with Kyle Ferguson.
Sounds like Kaja made a real impression. If we're 50/50 about any others (like Pugh / Gribbin) then they surely have to be a 'no' at this stage.

I think it's easier to offer a short contract until the end of the season as with Ferguson but I take your point and if it was possible I'd be tempted.
Agree with your second point. We've signed up plenty for those areas already too.
-
Pugh is a massive no for me
Having watched Pugh in the last two home pre-season friendlies, he does look rather like an accident waiting to happen to me.
A poor challenge and a yellow card in each game.
-
Yes, I agree.
Kosylo was much like that at first though and I'm concerned Parky might believe he can coach it out of him.
Best not to go there in my view. We're going to be occupied sufficiently with the start of the professional era at Alty.
-
The big concern is we might only have one central midfielder ie Osborne fit for next Saturday

What about Lundstram? I just thought he was being rested. Don't tell me he's injured too! Missed that one.

Not sure but I dont think he played at Stoke
-
I thought it might have been because josh is a known quantity and trialists needed to be accommodated?

-
If we need another central midfielder, the one name that stood out to me amongst released players was Luke Murphy at Crewe, who doesn't seem to have found another club yet and would replace a lot of the experience we lost when Jake departed.
Hopefully if we do have Josh available - and Ben Pringle in cover - we might be OK.
Connor Kirby was available! Sod's law really.
-
I think Connor Kirby is at Buxton?

I assume he must want part time only.

Given he was spotted around the club, I assume we took a look at him but passed on him once we felt we'd reached full quota in his position.
