    It looks like we made the right decision by not signing any of them, two of the players I looked at either had a trial whilst at a club or are unknown as to where they are. I'm happy with how the squad has turned out, I don't mind giving players a chance as who knows? I just think some of these, if not all might have just become squad fillers.

    Notts has done best to avoid this.

    I wonder if Notts do the same rigourous checks with trialists that they do with players they want to sign.

    I always thought the player asked for a trial at his own expense. If this is true then it's a no loss situation for Notts. 

    Better to reject a trialist than get landed with a player they've signed but it doesn't work out. But they are stuck with that player or have to send him out on loan.

    without a club supposedly, maybe he held out for a league club to long? he was the only trialist we did not sign that i thought looked decent.

    Alex Kirk looked half decent. I thought he stood out, but the rest seemed rather average, to be honest. I wasn’t all that impressed with the lad from Derby. I don’t remember his name, but he’s not mentioned in the list.

    I think the trialists are sometimes just the club trying to see if they can bring in someone who might do well but plays for lower league teams. I also think we might do it to throw other clubs off the scent about who else we’re after.
