True, but he still went on to have an alright career, hundreds of players were rejected from clubs and have gone on to lead decent careers. We're just giving the lad a trial, if he does well then why not give him a year and see how he gets on in the reserves. It's hardly a wrist slashable move, well I wouldn't think it was.

Update from fatty at the Pirelli, not the fitness coach I'm talking about Boycie....O'Brien played very well in the first half.

I've now issued him scouting instructions for the 2 trialists that are taking Derby to the Blue Square.

Boycie: "That striker were ****! The Yank looked good. Is he the blak lad?"

They are both strikers and the black lad is in fact Morgan-Smith, so I'm guessing that's who Boycie said "looked good". Have to wait for him to come online and grill him.

I think Boycie thought the Yank was the black lad and that's who he thought looked good, but that was in fact Morgan-Smith. Earlier he said the yank had a shot that was high and wide and they chanted fecking useless, he may have got better after that.
