Why? Because he's starting in a meaningless friendly? Must mean we only see O'Hare as second choice to Allen too?

No, absolutely unwritten rule that they don't, massively disrespectful & clearly aimed at unsettling the player. Here's how it should be done...

Agreed - they do a great job. Tough ask though, O'Hare is a very unique player.

Thought these were yours tbh

Yeah. He's still a young lad & came out of another Premier League's Academy where he'd been since the age of 8. He's commited to proving himself in the men's game & is a confident boy knowing that an opportunity will come again if he continues progressing. Kudos to him in my eyes.

Yep. A young lad I've watched extensively turned down Brentford to stay in Step 3 last season.

Phil Masinga still at KFC?

Totally right & I'm not against the notion of taking players from Non-League, there's lots of great success stories & it is an avenue that is definitely overlooked. Having seen a fair bit of Hudlin though I'm not convinced he's going to be one of them, especially at the costs we're talking...

Well North of £1k per week from what I hear. A lot for an U23 "punt" with very little previous pedigree. Be very interested to see how he fares at Wimbledon.

Sow... What cropped up then? Did he field questions?

Anyone who was arable to attend who can update us?

It's a gamble & never say never but I struggle to see the potential personally. I know Huddersfield have had great success in similar markets with the likes of Sorba Thomas but that was very different. Thomas stood out like a sore thumb with clear qualities that would pretty much guarantee him...

Ha ha yes would be an understatement! Without giving too much away, teams in the tier below Solihull were looking at signing him.

Anyone suggested Dan Crowley yet?

I'd imagine there will be lots of rotation. He's a very different style of player to Bidwell too so depending on game state/opposition we'll likely mix it up a bit. I wouldn't read too much about him being on the fringes at Palace, they have taken mostly youth/academy players on tour in...

🤣 I'm not 100% but it ties in with what I've heard & what we already know. He should get plenty of game time with Palace so if it is him match fitness shouldn't be an issue.

I believe it's Adaramola but he's gone on tour with Palace.

Hmmmm.... Not sure if Reid is being wholly truthful there. The story as I knew it at the time was that Kevin Doyle (amongst others) had been identified by Eric Black & was one of the reasons McGinnity dispensed with him for his "high profile" manager as he didn't think we should be messing...

We simply don't play that style of football, even when chasing a game as evidenced last season. In fact, almost zero successful teams do anymore. Kyle Hudlin is available for loan though...
