7th July 2010

Just another bit of information for you all.
My Dad went down to check out the training again today, Get a life, I hear you all start to type.

There where 19 or 20 players training with the first team. A few extras from yesterdays attendees.

Sofiene Zaaboub was at training, very recognisable face, he was definitely there, talking to Christophe and Laurent having a laugh.
Peter Gilbert was definitely there.
Aldershot defender there - don't know his name. Anthony Straker I think.
4 or 5 more players there, that weren't in attendance yesterday.

Along with 4 coaching staff that my Dad had never seen before.

Sturrock was having a very very serious conversation with Francis away from all the other players, they looked quite happy after the chat. Has he persuaded him ?

Sturrock kept on getting phone call after phone call again.

Everyone training very hard again.

So more good news I suppose.

Great news, thanks for sharing.

Maybe worth putting date in thread title rather than 'today' especially if we are going to get regular scouting reports!

If your dad needs a job i hear the russians are looking for good men that see stuff and say nothing.
Thank him for his efforts,at least its uplifting.

I was down at training today and I did not see Sturrock take 1 phone call in nearly 1hr and 30mins.
Shooting from all players except Spencer was awful with sturrock shaking his head in disbelief.
4 new coaches was there, did not reconize any of them.
we had 2 groups of players first lot had around 14 player in which included last years players and the second group was playing down the bottom of boots and laces and must of been 20 plus players.
One thing i did notice was that sturrock has a bad left leg that looks like he is kicking the ball with his outside of his foot!!!

I'm just the scribe, more to come I hope.
Thank god it is actually something that doesn't want me to jump in a lake.

Looks like we will actually have a descent size squad by the end of the week.
I bet a lot of deals are already basically confirmed, just not signed.
We will see aye?

The squad must be using the World Cup ball.
He didn't tell me anything like that.
Maybe I've got it wrong.

Exactly my thoughts with Grant as vice captain.

The group playing down the bottom and away from the first team is the youths.

I noticed his dragging left foot straight away, but as it's obviously a condition of his illness, I didn't report it yesterday. As long as his brain and management skills remain very good, who cares.

Very funny!

 

[ozzy-shrimper]

Keeping Francis would be fantastic! He'd tear up League 2.

 

[chapperzUK]

On the Sofiene Zaaboub front, he was signed by Sturrock, when he was at Swindon and Sturrock is known for signing players that he has managed before. Plays on the left wing too.

Aldershot defender there - don't know his name. Anthony Straker I think.

Just had a look on the Aldershot forum, somebody has asked them about this and it doesnt sound like Straker has been training with us becasue he's been training with them for the past few days.
