Have We Signed Anyone Yet?

Not really stupid at all. More games he could play, more he could impress (or not). Being asked to make a decision on someone you've seen play twice or four times say, it is very different. We all say how we need a few games to form an opinion on players, no different. You wouldn't feel as confident saying yes or no on someone after 2 games compared with more.

but they knew there were only two games, it isn't a surprise!! So what were the criteria they expected to see in those two games that would have made it a yes? It was the club that decided to play league 2 teams in the pre-season, It just seems a waste of time to me and unfair on the player and his parent club, to say that it was the lack of games and the quality of opposition that impacted the decision, when you knew these things prior to him being given a trial.

I assume he would of had to have stormed the two games and looked brilliant in training. I suspect however, perhaps cynically, that he was half brought in on trial just in case the Hall deal didn't materialise. I may be wrong but it seems like an insurance move. Not overly fair but the nature of the beast. If he came in and looked head and shoulders above what we have however, I think we would of made a deal work. Bringing him in gave us the opportunity for that to happen and helped a mini injury crisis at the back. I wouldn't worry about it too much.
