    Sorry. You’re correct. I saw the line up, and A Triallist was last to be listed (in the number 11 spot). No idea why.
    Anyone know who it is?

    Dear lord. Surely he should be on trial for Guisley?

    I was thinking that. They can see how he is, without having to change their own line up. Genius. Seems like he doesn’t fancy the move tho.

    Apparently our friendly yesterday was against Sheffield Utd. We lost 2-1 (surprise) and Cook scored

    It was mentioned in an article in the Sheffield Star from Monday that it was against us. We were meant to be playing 2 60 minutes games so would be interested to know if this 2-1 was one of the games or the overall score.

    I am told Kev Mac has been left out of the Austria trip. He’s been told by GA he isn’t in his plans for next season, and he’s been an awkward bastard ever since. If that’s the case, fair play GA for not taking him. Don’t need a negative presence involved when we’re this close to the start of the new season

    You have to wonder whether he regrets turning down the opportunity to be considered permanent manager last Autumn

    Whilst I normally would agree with this I think we owe Mac a bit. He almost sacrificed his season by taking the managerial role he didn’t really want and lost his fitness.

    I doubt anyone forced him to be caretaker manager.

    We owe him nothing at all. If what I’m hearing is true, someone of his experience should deal with things much more professionally than he is doing. The guys been there and done it, captained Fulham in the top flight and is a multi millionaire, he should know better and set a good example to the younger pro’s. Instead, he’s behaving like a petulant child and I hope he gets shipped out sooner rather than later

    How do you know he is behaving like a petulant child. There is absolutely no evidence of this just like he didn’t have to take the managers Job he has every right not move until he is ready

    Wouldn't disagree with that at all.

    To be fair, I can't see someone (anyone) who has been through the health issues he has, having the time or inclination to act petulantly

    Because I’ve been told by someone very close to the setup. It makes not one jot of difference to me whether you believe it or not, I’m simply relaying the info I’ve been told. The guy has no reason to fib

    The alternatives to not taking the job were well documented on here he obviously backed his playing ability but there was always a chance the new managed didn't fancy him.

    Looks like the trialist that played 2nd half against Guiseley has travelled to Austria.
