Adam Dawson trialling with a Conference team

Sunday 19 July 2015
KIDDERMINSTER Harriers defender Kelvin Langmead talks about the 1-1 draw against Birmingham City.

Trialist Adam Dawson had fired the Reds ahead but Shane Lowry levelled with a late header.

More than a little worrying if players are seeing Kiddiminster as a better prospect than us!?!

Probably see's them as a stepping stone to bigger and better things and wants to stay in Europe. Think he's wrong though and a move here would be the best place for him.

 

[yorkshireman]

True, but there aren't many who will play for Kiddiminster and rise rapidly through the ranks. I'm struggling to think of anyone who is playing at a higher level who has used them as a stepping stone.

Agreed. I think he's got more chance getting noticed in the A league than the Conference.

"Kiddiminster" ???
Sounds like a club where your contract requires you to wear an electronic monitoring 'ankle bracelet'.

Hope Everton have been watching Liverpool and Manchester City playing A League teams and are impressed and decide maybe we are better option than they first thought and maybe the fringe players are watching and thinking it's not a bad idea and they can get a sun tan

So what do people think our starting XI should look like for the FFA Cup?
I'd go with:
Reddy
Roux Bosnar J.Rose Neill
Montgomery
Caceres Kalik
Ferreira O'Donovan Austin
Bench: Izzo,Poscoliero, Trifiro, Bingham, McGing

 

[Rowdy]

I'd be reserving a choice for my starting XI for the FFA Cup game until after the pre-season fixtures, see how the newbies fare in those games first.

FFA Cup........is a cup. It's a trophy & prestige on the line. It warrants careful consideration rather than 'un-seen' speculation.... imo

Right now there's only one pre-season game before the FFA Cup match - against WSW in Coffs Harbour. It's unlikely that there will be a game before that.

Near enough for me. Poscoliero is in my starting line-up, either RB or CB; I am not sure Neill will be quite ready yet.
It's O'Donovan and Austin I am looking forward to seeing.

Yeah I really wanted to put Poscoliero in but I don't think he's better than Roux at RB and don't think he's tall enough for CB though with the small fast team that Wellington are likely to put out he may be a better shout than Bosnar actually...

 

[pjennings]

I think you will find that it is who is most advanced fitness wise. It may also include triallists (if allowed), who if they are playing in the NPL, are in season. Remember the guys have just come back and it is very early in pre-season. The guys I would not expect to play at this stage would be Bosnar (at 35 may take time to get to full fitness) and Neill coming back from a serious injury.

Ah okay, that makes the most sense. Didn't realise that Neill had been injured. I doubt that triallists will be allowed considering the FFA want to make this as serious a tournament as possible.

I would put Fitzy on the bench ahead of Tricky and Liam Rose is ahead of Mcging in the quality stakes too.

Okay I haven't seen much of either Liam Rose or McGing so that sounds like a good idea. What I've seen of Fitzgerald I haven't thought much of basically the same with Trifiro except for some freakish free kicks.
