    I thought we were talking about trialists? It shouldn't affect the budget at all, unless trialists demand a match fee these days?

    Agree. We have 26 (27 if Colville signs) so this must be close to a full squad.

    I would assume that Bowyer will have targets identified if any of the existing squad leaves.

    Rather than give game time to players who are unlikely to sign, then it seems to make sense to give opportunities for our existing squad, to get experience of playing together.

    I am expecting virtually a totally different first half and second half team, possibly with a few substitutes as well. So potentially virtually all the squad, excepting injuries or if anyone is leaving imminently, the they are unlikely to play. Perhaps 20+ players.

    I'm just treating as a nice day out. A few beers before the game. Watching City in the sunshine in our new kit; trying to work out who the hell all the new faces are. And also some of the shower from last season too

    Hope Shipley Bantams are fetching a coach, cause Guiseley have got a right mob out, all tooled up as well.

    Simon Parker said during the first week of pre-season that he was in training and expected to sign a new deal https://twitter.com/ParkerTandA/status/1143456149045424129

    Of course you don't want to be picking us injuries in pre season. Pre season is about fitness. Why would you want players getting unfit??

    He is fully aware we still need to do more business.

    Ex Dunfermline winger Myles Hippolyte on bench, presume a trialist?

    The lad has got undoubted ability but his temperament and attitude must be very poor

    Fair few positives from today, especially with the new lads. Anderson, Staunton and Patrick had stinkers however and look nowhere near good enough.

    I wouldn't sign any of the trialists either, not good enough.

    I miss the multi options where you could say something was interesting or informitive as opposed to 'liking' the entire post. I liked your opinion and assessment of the game but would be wrong to like your dismissal of the trialists as i wasn't there. Does this make sense?

    Always felt Colville had something to offer. Just hope he stays fit this season so we can see if he has or hasn't.

    Hornby had very little to do, RE was solid, big and aggressive, French I thought was composed enough when not under pressure but, like Henley, looked a little lightweight at the moment. He's obviously one for the future which is why I think we need another centre back. Much as I don't like his attitude from last year AOC looked good today.

    To be fair you say that about anything is slightly negative, there hasn't been any outrageous comments really?
