It's Paul Fairclough

[LeftSideRun]

Gutted. Not looking forward to the return game at the Hive.

[Tuesds]

Whoever that guy is (it’s not Richard Taylor, who has a different haircut and can be seen in other photos on the club’s Facebook page today), he’s been cropped out of the photo on Facebook... possibly someone training with us while their NL South club is out of action? I’ll stop going on about it now, promise.

It’s Richard Taylor.

Will he park the bus?

I look forward to thoughtful Fairclough providing some interesting insight in his first interview.

What would I really like to see? In an ideal world I'd want TK and DC to park their egos, the latter given a decent wage and budget to finish the jobs he always wanted to do.

My concern there would be that there is nothing left for Currie to finish.

Starting from scratch in these circumstances must be far less appealing than picking up from the the solid if underwhelming legacy left by John Still .

Apparently DC has five players lined up to join the club who importantly wanted to join him and play his style of football. So don't think the idea of rebuilding daunted DC in anyway.He was up for it.

Having players "lined up" is no guarantee they've have actually signed, or that they'd have been good additions. That's not me criticising, just saying that we shouldn't assume that it would have worked out.

Totally agree. My post was reply from sam_bfc saying he felt the idea of DC rebuilding from scratch was less appealing, but understood he was well up for the challengd. If the players rumoured he had in mind were any good or would if signed is immaterial as he was never given the opportunity.

You mean just like the ones PB and TF signed?

Doesn’t matter who we appoint, the players will still be useless!

They didn't look useless today!

[hoofer2]

He looked genuinely pleased to be on a touchline again...I'd be happy for him to stick around until at least end of the season

I know it’s a terrible thing to break a promise, but the mystery player is there again, on the latest video from training posted by the club. He’s in between Baker-Richardson and Petrasso: https://twitter.com/barnetfc/status/137 ... 36067?s=21

Tomi adeloye haircut? or richard taylor?

[Tuesds]

No - they’re both there as well, plus this guy is around 6ft 3” (taller than Baker-Richardson, but not as tall as Faal or Daly.)

[ETBee]

The clip shows that some players don't know their left from their right which might explain a few things!

[ninestein]

To be fair, I could never get the hang of doing the Macarena...

The mystery man had shorts on with a number starting with 5 but Ive seen the players done always wear training it corresponding to their squad no. - maybe one of the youth team players or indeed a mystery man/trialist/signing
Was just thinking from the height maybe its JBW but im not sure if hes already there

JBW is towards the back, between McBurnie and Adeloye.
