If he got a series of consecutive games, would that be a run for the Hills ?

I guess it depends on how Malpas defines experience.
Kevin Amankwaah - 150+ League games in League 1 & 2.
Jack Smith - 120+ League games in the Championship, League 1 & 2
Jamie Vincent - 350+ League games in all four levels
Jerel Ifil - 180+ League games in the Championship, League 1 & 2
Hasney Aljofree - 200+ Leagues in the Scottish Prem, Championship & League 1 & 2
and then Kanyuka & Morrison with limited first team experience.
Yes, I'd say one more 150+ defender would be good - we should be bringing in players for the future, Hills at 30 - with injuries seems a combination that isn't good enough. (I know 30 isn't majorly old but with injuries he may as well be 35)
But anyone coming in from the Championship will be either released injury prones like Hills or younger players with 15-20 league appearances and a good loan spell elsewhere (Mulgrew) - I would guess that there'll be no in between.

Malpas did say he'd like a bit of experience as well though didn't he, I suppose with Morrison, Kanuka, I'm a wanker, Jerel they are not that experieced but then there is Aljofree & Vincent that are experienced heads in there and J Smith isn't a youngster.....
Jerel Ifil is 26 and Jack Smith is 24. Plus Ifil has about 75 more career appreaneces under his belt? |

If he overlaps a winger its worth a shot.i suppose if he is solid enough it saves 150k that we were going to spend on mulgrew and maybe we can use that for a decent right winger.

Looking at the photo on the thisis site, he's not overlapping anything. By all means tell me if i'm wrong, but I've always thought* your stereotypical, speedy, overlapping, wing back doesn't have a belly you can make out through his shirt. *i say always, i hadn't thought about it before today - but i stand by it. Footballers should have less of a gut than me, fact. |

Well i think it's clear MM is keeping his options open here anyway. This guy on trial (if he impresses) will become the number one target. I think there's a third target as well.

I wonder if we'll see a few more trialists post Austrian tour. I know the market is a tad slow but King, Wise and even Mumbles had a decent potpourri of odds and sods tagging along pre-season and usually pulled a couple out of the bag.
Malpas appears to be a little more discerning in what he’s brought along, which is no bad thing given the low turnover of players compared to recent years and the number of youth players coming through on a pro contract. Still it would be nice to see a couple more randoms on the tour.

Where's Rodrigo Turnes when you need him? I thought he was going to be the dogs beans. Dodgy foreign triallists are ace. |

Not any more, he was released by them after only playing 13 games in total, most of those as sub....Ben Wells ahs just signed for Weston joining Gurney, Comyn-Platt and Holgate there and they are trying to sign former town player Ian Herring on loan from Salisury as well! |

We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

I think if we sign Hills I'd worth a gamble to play William(s) Hills together.

Ben Wells is a good signing for Weston.
Mustapha Carayol has signed a 2 year deal with Torquay
