Tonight! @ Kempston!

Possibly a known face in the opponents team tonight.

Does he have his head on upside down still?

Think from his outburst of twitter Saturday morning that he has fell out with his manager because he didn't get a start.

I hope the low attendance is not a sign of future League games at Kempston??

All three trialists looked useful when they came on. We heard that Glichrist at centre half was at Inverness Cali Thistle last season and has played for Swansea and Leicester Youth. His positional play and calmness showed good potential. A good run out and good to see both Lorraine and Dillon on the score sheet again. Winslow were a decent footballing side that gave us the run around at times in defence orchestrated by the very frustrating Aaron King. What a waste of talent

I think last night was the least glamorous of our pre season games and if supporters were picking 1 to miss that would have been it. With holidays etc I doubt we will get more than 300 / 350 for any home games played at Kempston but hopefully the won't be many anyway.

Last season Cameron Gilchrist came on as sub in one match St Johnstone. In previous season he was an unused sub once.

I would like to think that the fact an SPL side kept him on the payroll suggests he must have the ability to play at this level. Hopefully he's given 90 minutes on Friday.

What are everyone's thoughts on the new players and trialists?

[sussexdiamond]

I have not seen any pre season matches but from reports Gyasi seems the stand out signing. Fairlamb and Dillon also sound very hopeful. Not heard much about Smith.

Young Hembury also sounds promising but Pryke and Punter not too sure about. If this lad Gilchrist is any good he could be the answer to our centre back problem. Who were the other trialists last night?
