    Leon Redwood and other trialists

    Got to be the star of the trialists along with Josh Robinson, Pym looked good, just like the original one we signed on loan.

    This is not meant to be a slur on Pim's ability, but doesn't anyone of note look good against Hampton ? If your trying to say he looked fighting fit and raring to go ... I'm certainly pleased to hear that
    Every day I think of my Lauren.

    He certainly wasn't sulking or hiding, commanded the back line well and was very vocal.
    After all is said and done, far more is said than is done.

    What Hobbsy said he certainly did look fit and raring to go in the 45 minutes he played. He was a commanding presence in an inexperienced back four. Yes it was against Hampton (no disrespect intended) but his attitude and general demeanour augers well for the coming season.

    Looked very good again tonight, no heroics but proved he can defend, hold and distribute with a calmness of a much older and experienced player, give him a contract Uve.

    Agreed. Looks a good and probably not too expensive option as an attacking full back.

    Spot on BS. Brighton must be very strong in the left back position to have let him go. He has looked very good so far and although it has been against non league teams, comparing him to who has played in the team I would give him a good 7/10. Have a feeling that he may go to Germany with the team. The Bidwell signing seems to be going tit's up IMHO. If he isn't on the plane to Germany I will stop believing he will be with us this coming season.

    Bidwell is in Austria with Everton isn't he ?
    If Redwood doesn't go to Germany he may sign for the DS perhaps, is he a youngster ?

    I think Redwood would be a perfect back up full back, very solid performance preferred him to Taylor in first half

He's currently on trial at Colchester and the fans seem impressed, but he hasn't gone on their trip to Europe. Noticed the positive reviews when looking up how Bean and Morrison are doing there!

    I think you'll find that "Development Squad" contracts, & budget, is kept separate from the first team squad playing budget & contracts. So it may benefit Uwe to utilise his budget for who he thinks are First XI players/squad members, but he also has the availability of the Dev Squad, to boost the first team squad, if needed.

    Oh I see. Didn't realised that. Good stuff then and I look forward to seeing how well he develops if involved in the first team.

    Approaching 21 and unproven in the League, a development contract is to be expected; he seems to be described as both a winger and a left back.

    Two seperate budgets? Sounds like some sort of elaborate tax dodge. Like it.
    Kevin O'Connor- substitute for a season and a half. A SEASON AND A HALF.

    The youth/academy/development budgets are separate from the first team squads budget.

    On the OS, the Thursday Press talk caries a number of items from the H. Cron but glaringly avoids the Leon Redwood article, does this mean they're negotiating with his agent or there's no truth in the H. Cron piece

    It means that the update was prepared before the Chronicle article was published; it's not a real-time news feed.

    Just blame the new 'tea boy/office junior' IMO. Scandalous!

    Anyone know why we are giving a trial to another goalkeeper? Has anyone seen Richard Lee?
