Yeah that guy has another pic where you can see trialist number 19, so i assume thats Jai Rowe still?

I've not seen that one but if so, probably both are signing with announcements imminent I'm guessing.

Going purely off google images #19 does look like he could be Rowe.

should have gone with the darker shorts and lighter socks and would look similar to the 96/67 third kit.

Not keen on Randall, unless he is very cheap and a bonus player.

Know nothing about Rowe but seems positive reviews from Boston.

Bostock adds more experience and size and gives more midfield options so seems a sensible pick up.

Randall had 2 good seasons with Sutton in L2.
Didn't work at Notts County.

Who knows, signing up with his home town club again could provide an impetus.
We'll see.

Bostock is a player who can control a game from deep which we lack, we’ve got Ofoborh, Clarke, Khan and Cain to an extent who can play the deeper midfield spots but none are really going to be “get their foot on the ball and control the tempo” style midfielders.

The issue with him is that he’s not as mobile nowadays so you’re needing to setup with someone who can do that running in there next to him. Watch the home game against Notts County last season, and from memory, he was okay on the ball but not mobile enough without it.

In combination with a Clarke or Khan or as a sub then it could work but I’m looking at our midfield at the minute as Clarke/Khan rotating next to Ofoborh where Clarke/Khan seem more box to box types (correct me if I’m wrong).

Randall at a reasonable price would be a sensible signing.

Hope we sign Rowe.

He’s excellent with the media isn’t he. Even to the point that he disagrees with the question asked but responds in such a way that he doesn’t put the guy down. And he’s really not happy with the amount of games in pre season! Not the first time he’s mentioned it.

Recent preseasons are a bit shite for the fans aren't they.

First team play behind closed doors - on a Friday.

Youths play on the Saturday. Same teams every year. Not even a glamour XI friendly.

Probably not an stfc exclusive situation but meh.

Yup.

Melksham the first couple of times was good.

Brimscombe and Thrupp was a good one with Wellens.

Think we did one at Devizes once.

But mostly Supermarine, melksham, Eastleigh,   BCD, BCD. I suppose Hungerford was ok. Couldn't get there though!
