Can anyone think of any trialist-come-good situations last decade or so?

Dayton?

Brown.

Didn’t Jordan join during that awful January transfer window the other year?

Brown joined Os from Derby at around the same time as Coleman joined and it was when KJ was the manager.

Super Kevin Lisbie arrived as a free agent after training with us, which I know is stretching "trialist" but boy, if we could get someone 75% as good - say no more.

Jack Simpson was the last. Was training with us a few weeks before signing and play in practice matches.

Sorry ElliotNes just seen this - not at the game.

If we're including players that trained with the club for weeks prior to signing, then Ollie O'Neill can be included.
I wouldn't count that as a trialist though. A free agent getting 45 minutes to impress on a ploughed field in July is vastly different to a young player with a contract elsewhere training with us mid-season.

He signed for Os on On 24 January 2022, so If what you say is true, then he was on trial from around the start of December 2021. Unusual to have a player on trial for as long as that.

Perhaps just read his BIO Sid.

Is this confirmation that Piggot is on his way out the door?

Playing a completely different team in the second half if he isn't playing I suspect he's on his way.

O'S 1 up

Agyei

2 up

Perkins 2-0

How are we playing ??
Any pattern at all
