Physio Kevin Oxby brought to my attention that Simon Russell, one of our right wingers, is about to resume full training, which means he'll be ready to play in two or three weeks. This reminded me that Russell is no longer our best choice in that position (other than long-term injury victim Francis Laurent), so I changed his squad status from "Important first team player" to "Backup to the first team." He took it rather well, voicing no complaints.
Grant Brown gave David Fernández a glowing recommendation. That's three overwhelmingly positive reports on the veteran attacking midfielder. I'd still like to have him on trial for a couple of weeks before making a final decision, but he has yet to agree to the trial offer.
Ian Gardner gave a scouting update. None of his newly recommended players are good enough.
Four days until the season opener; tomorrow the Reserves play their warm-up match.
