His previous record in League One and Two and the fact he couldn't get a regular game for a struggling side in the Netherlands does concern me, but obviously if he signs we'll have to give him a chance and hope he can do the business here. I must admit I thought we would've had someone lined up that we've been tracking for a while and/or seen enough of to not trial him, although they must have their reasons. £££

The basis that he hasn't had a chance to play a full season anywhere, has had to contend with a major injury and is highly rated. I never claimed that he is proven in either L2 or L1, only that if a club took a chance on him, he could get games under his belt and become proven. When you've scored the second lowest amount of goals in the division, these are the sorts of alternatives you need to be looking at. The way your post come across was that if he just finds the right club he will do well, when in reality it sounds like you havent seen him, so none of us know what he is capable of. That's where you're getting me confused, all I'm saying is that if he finds the right club, he has the opportunity to do well, not that I'm certain that he will. If he's not got any talent that club could be in the National league or below. At this point even the clubs scouts don't know what he is capable of, that is why he is on a trial.

"I spoke to Ed Upson" seems like our scouting network is has good as ever! It sounds like he knows where the goal is which is more than you can see for most of our strikers.
Although we've had loads of players on trial in Development Squad games but rarely signed any.

Could be the next Bodin. A player with potential who has lost his way due to injury and misfortune. Would a month by month contract perhaps.

He might have already been told he can leave on a free in this window or that his contract won't be renewed at the end of the season and could be a chance to earn a longer deal.

Got to be better than the pile of sh!t we have put up with this last 12 months Uncalled for pal. We may have struggled this first half th season but these lads need our support not insults. An recently yous can see theys working their socks off for their club/manager.
In my opinion.

Got to be better than the pile of sh!t we have put up with this last 12 months That pile of shlt was put together by your messiah DC and chopped and changed every week with different formations? plus your messiahs on the BOD Have started building the new ground they said we desperately needed? so henburygas why blame the players who have lately given positive displays and good results under GC and CH ? The same players DC could only manage a few results in the last 12 months

I know but what's the betting he's still recommended him to GC rather than TW's scouting network finding him, bearing in mind he's here for a trial?

Ellis Harrison recommended Billy Bodin to DC, so if Seager does sign hopefully it turns out just as well for GC.

Just watched a YouTube video on him & his size & finishing reminds me of Jamie Curaton, he certainly looks decent if we can sign him. I'm not saying that you're wrong, but just to balance it a little by saying that YouTube clips can be very misleading. They only show a minor fraction of their total minutes on the pitch. You could probably make any striker look good if you compiled a bunch of small snippets showing only the good things they've done.

The same players DC could only manage a few results in the last 12 months First off, DC has and never will be my "Messiah" , only above average for a lower league manager Ask yourself why our strikers have been so poor over the last 12 months ? , Poor coaching, poor choice, Bad management or just rank bad transfers... These players are playing better now for two reasons :- 1) DC has gone 2) Most are out of contract at the end of season and need to "Impress" before then I wish our new management team all the very best and will support them to the hilt, but the reason we are in such a poor low league position is simple, the players are just not good enough for this league. Next season will be a make or break for the current management team as they will be replacing 6 to 8 of the current crop of players

Next season will be a make or break for the current management team as they will be replacing 6 to 8 of the current crop of players I agree that most of the squad are not up to league one standard also poor management from DC and MS,I would expect they are playing better because they have the confidence on the way they are set up to play in a balanced side knowing if they play well they keep the shirt. GC and CH wouldn’t have been my first choice but so far done a great job with the results so far. Calling players on here or at the stadium shlt won’t give the players any confidence will it HG? you didn’t answer regarding the BOD who you would’ve died for ?
