But LA has a point. It is a piss take. Not one player associated with City and most likely none will become players.

Brighouse may as well have played a local pub team for what they will have got out of this.

Which is why I asked piss take for who?

They know for next year not to play us don’t they?

It was a good chance to look at a good number of trialist and for that reason it was a good thing

Wonder if the Brighouse fans are moaning about our team

Good turn out from city fans, pie & peas excellent. Tuesday night football for 8 quid on a summer night, who cares if it’s a team full of trialists. Good payday for a small local non league club.

1) Oliver Byrne - didn’t have a great deal to do to be honest. Do we need a 3rd keeper?
2) Rhys Jenkinson - Played for Brighouse 1st half & came on as RW for City 2nd half - meh
3) Andy Taylor - didn’t stand out to be honest.
4) Regan Bootly - solid enough, some good touches but nothing special, given opposition
5) Charlie Fox - Excellent first half, good in the air, left sided CH, good eye for a long pass.
6) Josh Martin - steady away, seems a little lightweight for L2
7) Lionel Ainsworth - not helped by the pitch (long grass) looks a little rusty
8) Chris Taylor - some good touches..nothing special on this performance may be worth another look?
9) Myles Hippolyte - took 2 pens well. Seems to have something, but never going to dislodge likes of Vaughan, Doyle & Clayton. Sorry to say but I don’t think we need him.
10) Mason Fawns - didn’t play pulled up in warm up
11) Chay Tilt, Good first half, difficult pitch, some good crosses, good pass, improvement on Patrick as he takes the ball with him when he runs! Hit & miss one on one, needs to improve final ball.
15) Naughty Naughty (sic) looked good, likes a run forward, solid, pace...worth another look
12) Reece Flanagan - steady away, nothing special
14) Luke Wall - ditto
16) Alkeo Bani - can’t remember if he came on...?

Footnote if you thought a ‘shirt off their back’ was a crap prize for last season’s halftime draw, tonight’s first prize was a box of veg!

Don't think they'd sign Hippolyte as a forward. Played 90% of his career on the left wing in Scotland, occasionally going upfront. Last season, he was playing on either wing but that left hand side was him and Longridge whenever he came on. Surely got to be better than Patrick as a Winger/Foward on that left side.

Good point on Longridge. I’m sure Bowyer will be speaking to him for a reference. Maybe he sees value in an established partnership down that left hand side....

Including around 10 minutes of highlights which I have not watched yet

Agree with what others have said. It was a chance for GB to see these players in a competitive match, a chance for them to impress him, a chance for the Brighouse players to play in a competitive match against, mostly, more experienced players than themselves and in front of probably the biggest crowd they will play in front of this season. So a win - win for everybody, especially Brighouse FC who undoubtedly made a few quid on the night, especially with having the outside bar and Barbeque. They play at a reasonable level and if contacts were made last night which might enable City to loan some of the youngsters out to gain experience, then that is another bonus.
As for the idiots who ran onto the pitch, they need hounding out. Also, I know my eyes are going a bit, but I am sure it was a yellow/orange flare and not green as stated by Simon Parker.
It will be interesting to see how many of those who played last night are asked to stay on and given another game and who are told "thanks a lot and good luck for the future".

Why would Brighouse be interested in our youngsters? They didn’t get to see them....!

As for win-win for everyone, how do you think they got their ‘expected’ highest crowd of the season? Do you think the fans turned up to watch a full team of trialists?

Why wouldn't they be interested regardless if they saw them at the game or not? I'm sure they will know all about them. Does it really matter? Nobody said what sort of team it would be, don't turn up to a pre season game expected anything from it because you'll be disappointed.
