If we can find someone better than McNulty for the same or less, fine, but not sure we're likely to.

Was that Femi Azeez (?) in the first two clips... bit keen on a step over, but some nice stuff - and a great driving run from Rino in there.

Nice finish from Ashcroft.

This pre season reminds of the one with Gomes two years ago which was heavily reliant on Academy boys. Then we did the splurge of signings.

Zip No sign of McNulty. Even though we have a paper thin squad I presume he will still be offloaded


Was Joao there? Puscas?

Trialist could have been Kyle Edwards, 23 year old, ex-West Brom left mid

Zip We won 1-0. I think we’re going up.


Is that all? Only 1-0

Wassup? Lincoln are League 1 and we took all our senior players off early in the second half.

I keep a fairly close eye on the U23 squad but I have never heard of Tyrell Ashcroft. As he is aged 19 he is no longer eligible for U18s so I assume he is a contracted player. He doesn’t seem to have played much at any level for us. Does anyone know anything about him?

Did a bit of hunting when I saw the match report first. He appears first as an U18 player for us last season. Played in maybe a third of the games as a CB or RB, was on the bench for a number of U23 games, and played in 2 of them. According to Wikipedia he's 18, not 19 btw

That's all there is! Can't find a record of him signing a professional contract, but a lot of the archived news reports from the club seem to have been deleted with the move to the new website

Glad I wasn’t the only one that hadn’t heard of him

Slightly pre-season related -

Liam Moore is playing in the Gold Cup for Jamaica so will miss the majority of the Reading pre-season. Wonder how this will affect him/us at the start of the season (Will he play in the first game of the season? How will it affect his overall fitness for the season ahead?)

Also, I wonder if there is anyone in the Jamaica team who is available on a free/on the cheap?

Twitter detectives thinks Trialist 2 is...

Achraf Lazaar - a 29 year old Moroccan international footballer who plays as a left midfielder or left back, he most recently played for Watford.

Watford fans were very unimpressed by him.
