Pre-Season 2025-2026

[CaleyTennis85]

I wonder who the other trialists Kel is looking to bring in are (this is mentioned in the Inverness Courier and P and J article) mentioning Alfie Bavidge loan bid/enquiry and the Ross Munro articles respectively.

 

It seems to have gone quiet on these two but could Jordan Alonge and Dajon Golding be 2 of the trialists ?

 

I see Destiny Ojo has played in Northern Ireland with Cliftonville so he could quite easily play at Scottish League 1 level but I will let Kel decide that as he's a better judge than me .  I'd imagine Carlos Heredia could be signed up if he continues to impress this weekend and especially on Tuesday against Partick .

As I have said previously, our squad is taking shape now .

Was Destiny Ojo the no 9 at Nairn? I heard calls of what sounded like Jojo, so presumably that was him. I must say I was not overly impressed but it is always hard to tell in one game, particularly pre-season. He scored 2 goals in 17 games last season.

Winds gusting to over 40mph tomorrow should make the matches interesting.

Yeah he played against Nairn. 

I see from the Inverness courier article that the Left Back Nigerian bloke was very impressive, or so Paul Chalk the reporter seems to think .

Young Kerr was left back. The trialist was at right back and really didn’t impress me.

He was caught out of position a few times and conceded a lot of fouls.

Again, I accept it is wrong to pass judgement on one performance, particularly pre-season but the Nairn wide left player knew he’d the beating of him.

I also didn’t see Keogh tracking back to help him, whereas Longstaff was tracking back to help Kerr.

Ah ok, my bad . In fairness though, it was a couple of days ago that I read the article so it is an easy mistake to make .

It's so encouraging to hear that young Archie Kerr played well, hopefully he's involved in some matchday squads this coming season as he deserves too on the reports so far .
