Clarke and Reeves played alot wide and drift inside. Forrester I've seen a fair bit for Brentford including both cup games vs Chelsea. He is skilful but lightweight, doesn't tackle and easily knocked off the ball. One of those players that would be decent in Champ but ineffective in L1.
Interestingly with Hary Forrester, every league goal he assisted last season for Wimbledon, Taylor was the goal scorer. And even more interesting is that the three goals he did score, two were assisted by Taylor.
This means that out of the 8 goals Forrester directly was involved in, 7 of them were also directly involved in with Taylor. Or to put another way, he assisted 5 of Taylor’s 18 league goals last season, 28%.
Why does the press not ask obvious questions like what happened to the player who was due to come in on trial on monday?we are all going through the mill with the takeover thing at least keep us updated on transfer matters

They did in Bowyers post match interview after the Dulwich Hamlet game. it was Prattley
No he said 1 was given another 48 hours to decide to sign and would decide by monday and 1 was coming in on trial on monday prattley was never gonna come in on trial as he signed
“Do we need to strengthen in certain areas? For sure. We need to strengthen in midfield. We need to bring in a horrible midfielder, to win the ball and give it to ones who can play.
“We’re waiting on an answer [from one]. They asked for 48 hours, we gave them 48 hours and they’ve said can we stretch it another 48 – and that changed yesterday.
“We’ll know by Monday if that fella is coming in.”
This (from page 49) was the only thing Bowyer said last week re: midfield and never mentioned a trialist specifically. It was on page 50 that people started guessing trialists that don't exist.
The club can save costs when setting up any interview simply by writing 'It is what it is' on a piece of discarded packaging cardboard and placing it on a chair for journalists and others to look at.

I'm sure elsewhere he mentioned the trialist and said something about fans probably knowing on Tuesday. Unless he just meant Pratley, as that was the day he signed?

Seems they work quite well together.

Oh well - it’s better than nothing whilst we are PATIENT for the real rumours to arrive

4 is minimum requirement surely. We then have maloney/lapslie as back up.
