I've only seen Arrieta in the City highlights, and he's got a decent touch on him.

Arrieta was poor today.

Headless chicken syndrome.

In his defence though, we weren't giving him the ammo and he was playing upfront with Blair.

Might be more suited to playing with a target man like Corr?

Increasingly its looking like our season will revolve around Big Bazza's back.   Lets hope he recovers fully and there are no complications....with him fit and firing there are reasons for some quiet optimism, without and its looking a bit limp wristed.

Thought Adams looked solid against City and did the simple things well.  Good signing.

Wasn't impressed by Arrieta.  Didn't look like he had much pace and can't see him scoring many goals.  It's always worrying when the best thing you can say about a striker is that he defended well from the front.  Hopefully we'll sign a first choice striker this week but I'm not holding my breath.

Arrieta - good work rate, shows intelligence both on the ball and in runs. Tended to overdo it whilst on trial (in an effor to impress?).  A good squad player. But we already have Sturrock to fill the 'good squad player' category.

From what I have seen we don't have the obvious choice to partner Corr when he comes back. I'd suggest another striker will be coming.

Adams   - agree with Marston Red - welcome to the TEF by the way.

I thought Adams looked unfit at the City game. Was fucked after 10 mins. Not sure on Arieta yet. Seeing someone play one game isn't enough to judge so time will tell on both.

I thought this was a good account of Arrieta in the Cirencester game.
