Trialists

[vaya]

Wouldn't be pre season without fans getting carried away with a player based on one pre season game. I remember thinking Rachid Bouhenna was a world beater after seeing him play once in a friendly. I was on magic mushrooms at the time though.

To be fair, there's a bigger chance Bouhenna was a drug-induced hallucination than a player though.

[DMnumber4]

Richard Naylor kicked Bouhenna up in the air - further than the ball, in fact - in a friendly and crocked the poor lad for good.

Also proved that Naylor's legs had well and truly deserted him.

Mind you, he was about 56 at the time.

Bouheenna is now playing in the Romanian top tier with cluj

That’s a great spot. I see that CFR Cluj are through to the Third Qualifying Round for the Champions League, where they play Young Boys next Tuesday in the first leg. So far he has played in both their previous qualifying round games. If they are successful against Young Boys, they are in the play off round. Win that and we see our man Rachid in the Group Stages.

There's a lad called Jacob that was training today. Trialist. I know nothing but that sadly!

Gardiner-Smith perhaps.

[Chris Black come back]

Butterfield?

[DonnyOsmond]

Yeah, Mellis and Butterfield are free agents.

Bit of trivia on him.

His father is Barry Gardener Labour MP for Brent North constituency.

[Campsall rover]

No thanks not convinced they are what we need as think they are probably both well past their best days.

Don't think it'll be him, he's not had a club for over a year.

[GazLaz]

Butterfield would be easy to recognise. Long hair and big beard now. Been playing for Melbourne Victory, he was poor.

Madger Gomes is on trial at Charlton

Did he have a kit of many colours on?

Will surely find him guilty.

Any dream will do.

I didn't get anything other than a name. I don't want to get anyone into bother, but I was merely told there's a lad turned up today training called Jacob. I got nothing else.

If it is Butterfield, I think we'd be doing well. He's played 300 games at Championship level according to soccerbase, only just gone 31 and is a Yorkshire lad. Not sure where others' expectation levels are at, but he's the sort of centre mid I'd be begging to have at Rovers. Only a few years ago he was a £5,000,000 signing and scoring goals with Derby in the playoffs. We're Rovers in L1 with about three centre mids.

Cluj went one up in the first five mins, but conceded a 93rd minute equaliser. Away goals don’t count ‘extra’ any more but they will be annoyed at that late slip. Bouhenna played the full 90mins.

One of the triallist set to receive a deal, cant say that isn't a disappointment, you would think it would be Reed, Harrison and Gardner at a minimum, I also have a feeling it will be Gardner who will get the deal and not Reed as everyone seems to think

Agreed. Guessing Williams has turned down the loan move meaning we can't offer any more deals out and the board won't provide any more money to make it happen

[Chris Black come back]

Swindon have signed Louis Reed on a permanent deal.

[roversdude]

I don’t think Richie was ever truly convinced with him
Good luck to the lad

[Chris Black come back]

Plenty were getting very worked up about him, but he didn’t seem the right fit for what we need.

[roversdude]

Need a more physical player

[steve@dcfd]

All the Trialist have left the club now including Harrison who’s been offered a contract elsewhere.
