Free ticket available for the Bolton game as I now can't make it. Senior ticket. PM me and I'll post it to the first person who gets in touch.

First friendly for the first team today, one trialist (someone on Twitter has already put a name against the trialist)

Good second half. Two of the sort of well worked goals we scored all last season. Bott looks decent.

Not a game that’ll live long in the memory, but an enjoyable day nonetheless at hosts who were just as hospitable as they were in our previous meeting. Good performances from Daly, Forde and Bott, probably the three standout players from our current academy crop. Trialist A - who, let’s just say, is a close relation of someone already at the club - is a natural left-back, but played at centre-half and consequently wasn’t really able to showcase his abilities to their full extent; Trialist B, interestingly, looked to be a defensive midfielder and looked pretty assured, playing some nice passes. Murray, Caton, Weeks and Taylor were probably the standout performers of the more established first-teamers; Goodson showed fleeting glimpses of quality and looks to have the requisite tools to be a real threat once he’s properly bedded in.

Good run out, awful game but that's irrelevant really. Was quite startling how as soon as Weeks and Taylor came on between them they completely dictated how the rest of the game went though. Felt like they just flicked a switch.
Very good showing from Bott.

Who we’re the trialists then? One has been named by the looks of it, so what’s the name?

Shane Pinnington tweeted something the other day about expecting us to sign a defender who would then probably go out on loan. Suspect he may well have been referring to Trialist A, who as said has a close connection to someone on our coaching staff but has seemingly made his own way in the game after previously coming through the ranks at Crewe.

It’s Woodhouse’ son.

Yep. It’s the main thing during pre-season that I can’t be doing with - people thinking they’re important with the “I know and you have to guess from my clues haha”. Wind it in.

Doesn't it kind of defeat the object of the club calling him 'Trialist A' if people name him on here and Twitter?
If any other club has the player on their radar, they can type his name into Twitter and the first thing they'll see is that he played for us yesterday.

He’s called Trialist A for a reason.

Nathan Woodthorpe - Colin’s son. Came through the Crewe academy and was at Lancaster last season. Left/centre back.
Good and cheap cover for injury-prone Burke and Edwards 👍🏻

Football is a small world so it’ll be fairly common knowledge amongst the community as to who is trialing with who. Really don’t think it’s that important.

Good and cheap cover for injury-prone Burke and Edwards 👍🏻Shane Pinnington tweeted that one of our next signings will be a defender who'll go out on loan (and two Academy players who will sign first team terms). If that defender is Woodthorpe Jr, looks like we won't see much of him until the new year perhaps

People are bound to know who he is/name him. I know it's inevitable. I'm just suggesting maybe the club might prefer it if they didn't, otherwise why would they not just name him in the lineup? I'm not going to lose sleep over it though.
