Does anyone know who the three trialists are playing for the u21s against Huddersfield?

One looks like Akinde (wishful thinking). One is a similar player to Juke and Hockaday is calling him Alex. The third is a full back.

John Akinde is currently preparing for Barnet's final game of the Conference League season.
Alex Revell signed for Cardiff in the January transfer window.

I don't think he's crap. The Rotherham fans love him.

He scored 2 (including a great half volley) in the play off final but his goal scoring record is far from loveable.

As good as 12 goals from 66 games? That's Houchen's stats from his time with CCFC. Was he crap? There's more to being a striker than scoring. So long, of course, that you are providing.

His league goals per ratio game is 0.18. That's the same as Reda's. There may be more to being a striker than scoring but if you're outscored by a centre back you're really not good.

That's 0.03 less than Heskey. He may be derided in some quarters, the fact that he was picked by a succession of England managers, and was highly regarded by almost every strike partner, shows that goals are not always the be-all and end-all.

And the legends that are Peter Ndlovu and David Speedie weren't a million times better (.22 and .28 ratios respectively).

Look at Chicarito scoring last night - it was laid on a plate by Ronaldo, but if you looked at that one game in isolation you wouldn't say Ronaldo was the worst of the two, even though the goal stats suggest it!

The fact that Heskey is famous for being the world's worst footballer shows that goals are pretty important. Also you must admit it's the centre back's job to defend and the striker's job to get (or contribute to) goals. And despite this, Reda gets just as many goals as Revell. This shows Revell is not good.

Heskey worlds worst footballer??? 600 pro games and 62 caps for England? Michael Owen openly said he loved playing with Heskey because he took all the kicks so Michael could score!
Team player I would say! The British media turn on him and he never stood a chance!

No you're right 1 goal in 14 games is fucking quality.
