    Addai: good goalkeeper, huge presence but Ben starts season for me, we've a lot of work to do in playing wit his high risk distribution, played too many short straight balls out in Blackburn friendly alone that if they had shooting boots on would scored at least two in 1st half alone, Ben has the balance right of when to go short and go long, Addai is far too casual at the min

    Adaramola: Not seen much obviously but did acquit himself well against Blackburn and more powerful than Touray, hopefully taken off as precaution on friday

    Mellon: Looked very capable in fleeting appearances and would give us different characteristics to our other strikers lets hope the murmurs of him being out for season are unfounded

    Fiorini: not been impressed thus far for the 2nd biggest fee paid this summer, looks a little lightweight and already shown his fragilities with previous injury problems showing

    Metcalfe: no point assessing too much he wont play

    Fevrier: another missed fair chunk of pre-season doesnt look fit to me looks a bit heavy so looks few weeks behind everyone else at moment

    Bate: standout performer of pre season by a mile, looks a complete class act

    Mingi: not seen him play yet

    Diamond: another who has made good impression thus far and given he lost two years of his career expect him to grow further as season goes on, looks a good acquisition

    Hughes: looked pretty solid thus far and covers plenty of bases for us in central defence

    Connolly: liked look of him in Chester game but unfortunately picked up injury in Pinatar

    Trialists Gayle showed good touches, Norwood looked off pace but reckon all trialists are just filling in and we wont sign any of them

    If Knoyle injury keeps him out a while we need a right back at least until Jan with MSH also out, wouldnt trust Okeke to be our cover there

    Same if Mellon is out for season we need bring another loanee in

    Must stress only early indications and hopefully they all shine come seasons start
