A Case Of The Trots At The Back
Saints have signed a centre back.
Saints have signed Preston North End central defender Neal Trotman on a loan deal till Januarry 3rd 2010, the 22 year old is looking to kick start a career that has promised much but suffered several set backs along the way, including a long spell out through injury.
After making 20 appearances for Oldham Trotman was snapped up by Preston for £500 k but in January 2008 but injury ruled him out for much of the next 12 months and he then joined Colchester for the final month of 2008/09 on loan making 6 appearances.
As he continues his comeback Preston are keen for him to play regular first team football hence his arrival at SMS, standing at 6ft 2 he seems to be just the playeer Saints need with a combination of height and speed, the only down side being his lack of experience, however two out of three aint bad as they say, and hopefully that lack of experience will be compensated by his thirst to play and get his career back on track.
He has already scored in this campaign, heading a goal in Preston's win over local rivals Morecambe in the Carling Cup.

Brave Swans in memorable game at Carrow Road It was a pulsating game to watch and very much one of my favourite away games of the season. The Swans looked an entirely different side to that we saw at Middlesbrough when it is clear a catalyst for commitment was agreed behind the scenes at Swansea City. To a man every player grafted and
wore the shirt with pride. To see the players really acknowledge the Swans support at Carrow Road this afternoon was emotional.
Swansea reject Cullen contract and trigger one year option Liam Cullen has had his request for a new contract dismissed by Swansea City after discussions broke down last week. The lowest paid ‘senior’ player at the club ( he is twenty five) asked for a better contract increasing his £3,500 a week to around £7,000 a week over three years.
Sam Parker hasn’t turned down a new deal, he is willing to negotiate He was a revelation for the Swans for the few games he played this season, and now it emerges Sam Parker has ‘turned down’ a new Swansea City contract. News is thin on the ground, and some of it just incorrect as he looks to involve his representatives in some further negotiations. Plus his current contract runs for two more years.
Swansea City : The vision is clearer, so Jamal Lowe ? There were some worrying moments for the Swans yesterday, on three occasions mistakes from playing out from the back nearly saw the home side score. And is there now a case for Jamal Lowe to be offered a contract at Swansea ?
