Worth another look then!

I wasn't there. His past isn't stellar but he's only 22

For 22 (soon 23) he played 2 seasons in league 2 already and then has experience in the NL. It doesn't have me super excited, but the Boston forum pick him out as there better player that could play this level. It would be a good aged cb to pick up to compliment the rest we have.

This was in May, regarding Rowe.

Entertaining game and Melksham played well considering their level. Of the triallists I wouldnt be dissapointed if we offered contracts to Jai Rowe and Billy Kirkman (no relation btw!).  Both appear very composed on the ball and feel they would be OK as part of a 24 man squad. Rowe could be an option as cover for RWB, although he played in central defence 1st half, moving to RWB at start of 2nd half.  Kirkman would be cover for LCB position. Not convinced by Will Randall as LWB, although he offered bits and pieces going forwards.

Of the established players, Smith was a real handful and took his goals well, Oforborh looked a bit sluggish to me and got caught in possession a couple of times, whilst Clarke, although mobile and extremely tenacious in the tackle, misplaced a number of passes. Wright looks a class act and Drinan put in his normal hard shift. Glatzel was quiet until his goal.

The highlight was the Melksham assistant manager showing no mercy in rugby tackling the dickhead Melksham youth who invaded the pitch after about 80 minutes. The unmarked police car driving in to the car park after the
game is hopefully going to ensure that the end to his evening is equally as painful.

If the answer isn't "Matt Fiddes, former body guard to Michael Jackson", why are we even talking about it. Right adver readers?

Listened to Kennedy’s presser and thought he came across really well. Sounds like Ukwakwe will be gone and I can see us signing Rowe.

Where can I listen? What did he say about Uwakwe? Rowe sounds like a highly rated player, plenty of interest from higher levels.

Just listened on BBC Sounds. Interesting that he mentions Jai by name. Managers dont tend to do that with trialists. Sounds like he might be our next signing then.
