Yeah - definitely him Decent youth pedigree - but released by a dreadful Huddersfield where he didn't make an impression. What did we think of him? I got to watch some of the game, but not much.

Not the Smith understudy/competition I imagine, unless our new ex Man City coach saw/sees something in him?. If we're looking at him in an u23 game - at the age of 22- you'd think it's with a view to him joining the first-team squad as cheap back-up RWB tho As you say, all our ex Man City staff will be familiar with him. I thought he looked good. But just reading through some of the comments from the Huddersfield fans about him is very, very grim reading. Mind you, a young player being introduced into that club over the last couple of seasons was probably on a hiding to nothing.

He actually looked pretty good, flagged and looked leggy after about 70 mins but looked a presence and was good at taking on his man and dribbling. More of a RB role than a RWB this eve and all this said - he was a man amongst little boys. He’s only 22 himself though. I’d be more than happy for him to be cover/understudy /share the load with Smith.

View for him joining the U23’s so Coates can go out on loan?

View for him joining the U23’s so Coates can go out on loan? 23 in October though and a fully-fledged pro. With the way we're using the u23s now, can't really see us looking at him with a view to being anything other than very cheap Smith competition? Could well be one of those that we never hear of again though - although he didn't look bad tonight. Strange one, although it was always going to be difficult to get a decent loan in who accepted just coming in as cover/competition to someone like Smith

He follows 99 people on Twitter and Tyrese is one of them😄but I’d imagine that’s from his Man City days

The trialist looks useful, whoever he is. Just something about his play gives the impression he's been around the block and isn't a youngster - but could be wrong and very hard to tell without a close-up or two. As for the game, men against boys so hard to assess any performances really. You can tell it's Birmingham's first game at this level He looks very similar in stature and playing style as Steven Moreira, French RB that was released by Toulouse in the summer www.transfermarkt.co.uk/steven-moreira/profil/spieler/203517just watched a few clips and they look very similar (from afar) I’m sold 😂

Could the RB be ex man city free agent Duhaney? Looks a bit like him. What a shout that is by the way.

Don't forget we have lots of trialists every season
Can't be many players who we have signed after a trial who has gone on to play for the first team
Van Duerzen was one Honestly can't think of any others

Someone mentioned Scotland and I thought it might have been Steve Lawson from Livingston who can also double up as a DM and a RWB. But it looks like you found the right fella. I guess we must think we have some serious coaching skills if these are the target cases. 23 year old with another go and some road ahead of them.

Did it finish 2-0? I had to taxi my daughter around, so missed the last 15 minutes.
