Survival has to be the minimum acceptable objective.

Ask me again when we know what our squad looks like for the season (a) starting and (b) when the transfer window closes…

U23s not involved last night:
JBrown, Cashin, Dixon, LThompson, Hutchinson, Wilson, Duncan

U18s not invovled last night:
Randle, Evans, Williams, Rutt, Ibrahim, Sebagabo, Fapetu, Aideyan, Ryan, Borkovic, Eze

 

I've only spotted the following in the pics and clips from the training camp: Williams, LThompson, Hutchinson

I think I saw Harvey Randle out on the pitch pre-kick-off

Anybody know who Trialist B and Trialist C are?

We were  talking about the list if we excluded the Chorley game.

Then I agree ?.

Sorry, I find it difficult to follow the discussions on some of these threads.

Professional Standing = is any Player who has made one first team appearance (including as a sub) for any Club in any first team competition (EFL Trophy appearances do not count).

Duncan does not count
I'll be surprised if Clarke does as it's before the 1st round proper
Robinson likely doesn't count as it isn't a professional league.

I think Duncan counts if the FA Cup-tie against Chorley is included. Duncan started that game.

Agree on Clarke (as it’s not EFL equivalent rounds) and Robinson (semi-professional league)

Darren Robinson made his debut for semi-professional side Dungannon Swifts on the last day of the NIFL Premiership season.

Does he count? I’m assuming, because it’s a semi-professional club, it won’t, but I’m not 100% sure on that.

it is pretty poor if the Chorley game is included, we should have forfeited if that is the case

There was a definite distinction with the Chorley game as squad numbers weren't issued. The starting 11 played in numbers 1-11 with the subs following suit with 12 to however many of them there were.

Here's my take on Players of Professional Standing and Established Players.

Note: I'm not sure I have Bobby Duncan and Courtney Clarke's statistics correct, nor whether Clarke's FA Cup appearances for Whyteleafe in rounds before the First Round Proper actually count or not.

Bobby Duncan, Isaac Hutchinson and also Martell Taylor Crossdale in this photo of the 23s training which seems odd on all 3 counts.

Which one is Martell Taylor-Crossdale?

Any eagle eyes recognise this chap? Don't recognise him from our academy, but he's wearing an academy training shirt (not that that means much in preseason).

Is it Issac Hutchinson? 

Could be. Isaac Hutchinson is first left, back row, in the Group photo from Allestree Park. What do you think, @Topram?

Lissah has joined Swansea.

Thanks, @Carnero. Looks like Swansea sent a minibus to Chelsea…

Looks to me like Bartosz Cybulski and Alex Matthews are both in this group photo.

Has anybody heard any more about Bartosz Cybulski and Alex Matthews who were both showing ‘offered new terms’ when the Retained List was released?

Henrich Ravas returns to FK Senica.

Good luck ? to him.

I wonder what’s happened with Filip Lissah (Chelsea) and Joshua Chapman (??????)?

Both played a number of U18 games on trial for us towards the end of last season. We did seem keen on both of them, Lissah particularly.

My gueses

…

38. Ebosele, Jinkinson, Rosenior

Great work there @Ghost of Clough on all the photos. Jinkinson was released and I think it’s Luke Jinkinson, Head of Sports Science, with Ebosele and Rosenior

Which one is Wilson in the pics?

You’ve made me doubt myself now ? but I believe Tyree Wilson is at the back of the hurdlers in photo 2, he’s between Solomon and Bardell in photo 34, and he’s running towards the ball in photo 37.

Thanks everybody. So it looks like in the photos we have.

GK - Roos

DR - Byrne, McDonald, Ebosele, Bardell

DC - Davies (free agent), Solomon, Brown, Cashin

DL - Buchanan, Forsyth, Williams

MC - Shinnie, Sibley, Bird, Watson, Dixon

W - Wilson

SC - Kazim-Richards, Stretton, Duncan, Plange.

Anybody spotted any players I’ve missed?

Also confirmed that Marshall, Knight, Jozwiak and Lawrence have been granted extra time off due to international duty and Bielik remains injured.

That appears to be our starting point on Day 1 of pre-season training.

1 minute ago, RoyMac5 said:

Is that Solomon and Brown? That's at least one centre-half if so! ?

Yes. Definitely Jordan Brown and I’m almost certain it’s Harrison Solomon. Eiran Cashin is also in the photos as well.

Training Photos are up:

Now let’s play who’s who?

Who’s hurdling behind Ebosele in photo 2?

Who’s behind Dixon in photo 27 and also on the left of photo 29 with Jordan Brown? Is it Jack Stretton?

Is it Luke Plange on the left of photo 31 (with the player mentioned above in #27 and #29). Also in photo 32?

I feel like I should know these @Ghost of Clough. Any ideas?

Henrich Ravas no longer a Ram.

Henrich Ravas leaves with his contract expiring yesterday. We really do have no U23 goalkeepers.
