Match Report
I like Reserve Team games, you can pretend being a scout or an unemployed manager. Today, amongst our midst was Mickey Adams, Welling manager Andy Ford and quite a few others who I did not recognise judging by the number of men making notes. You also get a first look at the newest bunch of triallists and we saw one making an outstanding case for a contract, Albert Jarrett. Late of Watford and MK Dons, young Albert was a box of tricks with very good spacial awareness. Doubtless the watching representatives from other clubs would have come to the same conclusion, today he played in Gillingham's colours, it would be nice to think he might do so again.
Other triallists were Marcus Haber, a Canadian U21 international recommended by Simeon Jackson, who despite missing a couple of good chances did enough to warrant at least another look in training and a loanee of a previous time, Trevor Benjamin, who despite his goal, looked heavy and slow. We've seen too many of his type recently.
Tyron Amory made up the quartet and probably didn't do enough to warrant further interest.
Southampton had only Rudi Skacel and Nathan Dyer, a real handful, whose names were recognisable. Gillingham matched their Championship counterparts in all but finishing and it made for an entertaining afternoon.
