Shots In Scouting Mission

Last updated : 12 April 2006 By Stray Shots Team

Terry Brown has told the official Shots website that he and Simon Pullen are busy watching matches this week in a bid to find suitable players who will help the club bounce back from this terrible season.

He told the site, "Simon Pullen and I went to watch Northampton Town v Milton Keynes in a reserve team encounter on Tuesday afternoon before going on to watch Kettering Town v Alfreton Town in the Conference North."

He continued, "The main purpose of the journey is to watch the Premier League exit trials on Wednesday over at Lilleshall. We are staying over to watch two matches and trust me that is two people scrutinising 22 players in each match which is hard work making sure that you don't miss anybody. The good thing at the moment is that all the games that we are watching are targeted matches where we are looking at specific players for specific teams."

The article went on to explain that the "FA Premier League exit trials" are assessment trials for 2006 and they involve youngsters from under 18's and under 19's that have been released by their respective club academy schemes.

If any players are found, they will no doubt be showing plenty of potential and it is also known that Brown wants to build a squad which also contains experience as he feels that youngsters can not improve on their own and he is also on the look out for a Tim Sills style player.
