I reckon the triallists are just kids. Players like Poyet and Pratley wouldnt just get dumped in with the kids for the last quarter
Elliott Ward is probably the one in Defence; Poyet could be the other
Cant see Pratley being prepared to go on trial at clubs as sides should know how well he can do
Not just about what he can do but how he fits in with the team.
Most free agents in lower leagues have a trial even a short 1, before they get offered a contract
Pratley played 30 times in the Championship last season though isnt exactly lower league especially when it comes to signing at level lower than the one he was last season - Be like that Japanese side asking Iniesta to play on trial before they commited
Would also hope that if we're looking to sign him; Gallen and Bowyer would already have assessed videos of his performances to confirm if he'd suit our system or not
The trialists are either players we don't others sniffing around or incognito as they don't want to be associated with their desperation in trying out for our joke of a club.
Aren't they only dubbed 'triallist' when they're still under contract to another club? What's the point in keeping them anonymous in a bcd friendly if they're free agents? Their indentity will be obvious to all present. A free agent touting for work is hardly in a position to determine whether a prospective employer reveals they've played in a training game.

Think the 2 trialists are Ward and either Poyet or Pratley
But if he has, it must be the best kept secret ever around the club.

Maynard-Brewer, Yao, Cummings, Stevenson, Mascoll, Trialist, Sarpong-Wiredu, Dempsey, Trialist, Hackett-Fairchild, Umerah. #cafc
That line up looks totally U-23 Development squad.
shitfest of a club.
Dont want Man Utd or Barcelona being aware of who we've got with the club and pinching them from under our noses

Bowyer mentioning him in the post match comments.
