Trialists
« on: October 10, 2023, 10:32:47 PM »

Anyone got anything to say about the trialists on show?

Bruno Andrade - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruno_Andrade_(footballer,_born_1993)
Sean Lawton - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_Lawton
Hayden Lindley - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayden_Lindley

These are the three I think I spotted on the lineup. Be interesting to know if there was anything there.

Bruno did ok, took goal well. Was always looking to take the ball. Played mostly on right wing inside right

Others I didn't notice so much.

I'm really surprised that Sean Lawton hasn't been picked up by a club, given he was fairly highly regarded at Crewe - but we just don't need another left back, particularly given that we still have Liam Brockbank on the books at the moment too.

Do we think Parky is considering signing up any of the three (?) trialists? Or is it more of a showcase/shop window for them?
If it's the former, what are people's thoughts?

Andrade has a decent cv especially at this level and is the only one of the three most likely given the position he plays imo , though i would think only a very short term contract chance at most dependant on our returning injured . Think we do need to bolster the squad mind so you never know especially if the loan options aren't that great.

I thought that too however Andrade, at 30, is not a typical Parky signing.

Got to be an upgrade on Byron Harrison though!

I'd rather we dipped into the loan market again if we have short-term gaps to fill.

The issue with that is if you get players in on loan, the expectation is that they will be starting games. But our starting XI isn’t the problem, it’s the lack of options on the bench. We just need a couple more squad players, particularly in the cup where you can name seven subs. I wouldn’t be surprised to see one or two of the triallists from Tuesday on the bench on Saturday.

Sean  Lawton played for Nantwich Town yesterday. They mention he has been signed on dual registration forms from us, so we must still have him on non-contract forms which probably doesn't mean a lot as he would have been on them to play in the Cheshire Senior Cup. They also say he got injured in the summer when he had a trial at another club,
