6. I did watch the game. He had a very mixed performance. Some nice moments and good balls from set piece, but some horrific touches as well. What do you expect from a player that hasn't played a game for his club since March and came back from holiday to play in this game?
If he wants to get signed, having 2 and a bit months off and turning in that performance is not going to help his cause. If his goal is to play pro football he should be playing and 'in form' when he gets asked for a trial. Going to a club and going 'sorry I've had 2 months off and i don't usually play winter football so I am a bit rusty' doesn't get him signed.
At the moment his current form is what he did in his last game and that says 'not good enough'. Why would Merrick offer him a trial based on that?????
