According to Daish in the Reporter:

"It has made such a difference having everyone in between 10.30am and 2pm each day and the benefits are noticeable already."

 

Nice working hours. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

 

He said: "We sent a letter out to all the people who contacted the club asking for a trial over the past year and the response was magnificent.

 

Anybody wish they'd sent a letter? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

OK so we now have the following:

GOALKEEPERS:

Mott

Holloway

 

DEFENDERS:

Smith R

Smith J

Hawkins

McCarthy

Opinel

 

 

MIDFIELDERS:

Slatter

Quinn

Keeling

 

 

STRIKERS:

Mcdonald

Ekoku

Moore

Roberts

So by my reckoning we need a right back,2 midfielders and another striker at least.

Anybody any thoughts?

[FleetFanatic]

14 players so far - if we have a squad of 20:

1/2 more defenders?

3/4 more midfielders?

possibly 1 more striker?

[Drummer Scott]

Yeah I agree with F.F on this one. To me, the position we need to cover to start with is the right-back.

[Jimmy]

Roberts is a midfield player.

[Slartibartfast]

So 14 players signed plus 26 trialists......who was it saying we couldn't get a 5-a-side team out?

let's hope that who LD does sign (particularly midfield) are not just workmanlike hard working players but are also creative.

I heard a rumour that Jefferson Louis is one of the 'trialists with conference experience'.

[Fleet4Ever]

We will see If the trialists are half decent against Folkestone today. We won't have 26 after this game I bet.

I thought I saw rumours linking louis with exeter on the confguide forum

[Slartibartfast]

As always at this time of the year there are plenty of players still looking for a club.

If we have 26 trialists at present it would be surprising if more than 2 or 3 of them got offered contracts.

[StuThompson]

Louis played today and looked very poor. On a whole a very unfomliar side who looked like they have never played together before.

Which indeed, given the nature of the team, they hadn't!
