Didn't we have Crowley on trial last pre-season? Not sure about Eaves.
Seen Josh Emmanuel's name mentioned who is an athletic full-back.Prompted me to look through the squad he worked with at Hull in L1. Dan Crowley was there on loan and is now available after leaving Morecambe. Tom Eaves hasn't had a great time at Rotherham so might become available - wouldn't be my first choice necessarily but would add some physicality and power up front.
Didn’t he last about 5 minutes in a friendly at Rosso and then did his hamstring
He’s not been playing in league 2 though
Eaves hasn’t scored in his last 25 appearances.
I've not put it any way other than stating that he hasn't scored in his last 25 appearances. That's an entirely objective, not subjective statement.

One name not yet mentioned in this thread - Kieran Sadlier

It's an entirely appropriate reply to then look at the last time he did play in League Two, that's literally the reference point for that response.No views on him either way.
I didn't miss them out, because the relevant reference point for League Two, is playing in League Two.The relevant reference point for scoring goals in League One, is League One.Nobody has raised what the attributes of a striker should be.
Portsmouth have released Michael Jacobs. He was quality, not sure if at 31 he is what we need, but he got through a decent amount of games for them this season.
I think he will go in to loan Di’shon Bernard from Man Utd. He’s a centre back that was on loan at Portsmouth, made ten appearances for them. I also see him going in for Conor Grant and a young player from Southampton on a season’s loan, Dominic Ballard, a striker currently playing in their B team.
