Who were the triallists at Nantwich....and were they any good?
-
Named as Nyapombe and Hall on Twitter, playing rb and cb respectively. Can't comment on performance and also do not know anything about them 🤷♂️
Anyone?
-
Both acquited themselves well, but unsure if they are better than what we already have, but worth another look.

Hopefully given another opportunity at Curzon tonight.
-
It's hard to say in 45 minutes when the overall team performance was so low tempo. Yes, hopefully they'll get another chance v Curzon (maybe another trialist or two as well.

I can't help but think that, if they are looking at using Mullarkey as a defensive midfielder, we might need another defender.

That won't be a permanent position. They will be just trying him, just incase Moult gets injured.
Desperately need a Lundstram midfielder, unless we can get Willo further up the field.
Possibly another wide player.

Three trialists today:
Ashley Smith-Brown (24) - LB - released from Plymouth in January after spell on loan at Oldham
Joel Senior (21) - RB - released from Burnley in July after loan spell at Curzon last season
Will Hall (-) - Midfielder - No data
-
Will Hall not actually referred to as a trialist so might not be????? Really not sure about him.
-
Appreciate it is only our second pre season but not great at all.
Need another wide player, centre mid, full back at least.

2 completely different XI’s each half and a sprinkling of new players and trialists in our second pre season match.
I doubt the performance or result means anything in relation to how we will fare this season.
-
Can't judge the team based off a pre-season friendly against opposition that has been playing for many weeks now with virtually two different lineups, with a mix of three trialist players and five new singings. Not to mention that we are trying out a new system Parky is working on! The only slight concern I have coming from that match is we conceded from a cross which was definitely one of our main weaknesses last year. Nonetheless, plenty of time to work on it and improve. Good run out overall against a tough Curzon outfit.

Unless we sign someone of Lundstrams standard we wont reach the level of last season

I’m assuming, by your post that a Lundstrum loan opportunity isn’t on the cards anymore . If so that will be a big miss.

Have to agree
-
I've no idea where we stand with Lundstram or any other potential loanees
-
We usually get kept in the loop on things but I'd be very surprised if we learned anything substantial until PP has run the rule over them properly. I'd expect to know definitely before the Fylde or the Salford game when Parkie's first choice eleven should be on display.

I'm not actually sure Lundstram was ever on the cards for 2020/21 to be honest, it was only hope that kept his name in the mix really? Fair play to Crewe for allowing him to come back and complete the job here, but he's a great young prospect for them and they clearly want to have him around the first team squad - at least for now. Time to move on I think.
That said, I agree there appears to be a Lundstram shaped hole in our squad. He took us up a level and without him I do fear we may miss what he provided for us. Then again, it's on Willo now to step up and make that role his again. We're 180 minutes into pre-season. Let's see what happens and how we progress.
Moving on to last night's trialists, I thought the right back, Joel Senior, was really impressive particularly in the first half. I'd like to see him again.

Senior was really impressive in local football for a while before his move to Burnley. He played for Maine Road in the counties from about 16 and was considered one of their best players. He moved up to FCUM and was pretty good for them too, though I think he was sometimes deployed at wing back which didn't suit him at the time. I'd imagine the year of professional football will have done him the world of good.
What position did he play last night, do we know? I think he's mostly played right back, and I can't imagine we need a third.

He played the first 45 minutes at right back, and the final 20 or so minutes at left back, where he did seem less comfortable.

He played for most of the EFL Cup win at Bolton, and came on in 75th minute for his League debut against Charlton on Saturday (replacing Owen Dale) so it's not remotely likely we will see him back at Alty. The lad did us proud, so let's hope he moves on to big things. I'm sure there'll be more quality loanees to come from Crewe in due course, but for now I'm hoping either Toby or Willo will step up to the plate.

Before, I was quite hopeful about Josh returning because I think if he was to be loaned out again this season, we'd have been first choice for Crewe. However, clearly he's impressed in pre-season and they know see him in their short-term plans at the club so fair play to the lad. Quality player and seemed a nice guy as well. Let's hope to see him starting regularly for them by the end of the season and maybe see him in the prem one day. Plus, he'll be a class loanee for my Harrogate Town Fifa 21 Career Mode 😁
