0-0 currently.

Camara starting suggests he is likely to be back on the bench at best for Saturday.

Maragh now being named rather than being a trialist suggests he has signed.

As you have seen quite a lot of these games and players who now stands out in your opinion as real prospects?
From what I have seen of Abrefa I'm not yet convinced and Abbey and Craig have had so little first team action it is impossible for us to make any assessment.

IIRC there was one that impressed you who had come down from a Northern club, was it Carson?
