What’s your guess for the friendly against Oxford? Our squad doesn’t look very strong - no Taylor or Sotiriou, could they be on their way out of the club? The trialist is FGR’s Jordan Garrick apparently - I’ve seen him play last season….meh.
todays line up v Oxford Southwood, Senior, Sparkes, Moore, Hutchinson, Thomas, Ellison. McEachran, Trialist, Bilongo, Dewsbury Subs Young, Kilgour, Omochere. Anthony, Conteh, White, Leipus, Moody, English Daniel thinks the trialist is Jordan Garrick ex FGR????
