Speaking to the Bournemouth Evening Echo on the trialists on show against Portsmouth on Tuesday (July 31), Kevin Bond is quoted as saying: " don't think there will be too many around on Tuesday and the majority of the players who will be involved will be our players. I recognise that we've got two games left before the start of the season and 90 per cent of the players we use will either be our players or players who we hope will be our players. When you bring in players on trial, you always find 95 per cent of them will come and go. They have all been different class as guys and in the way that they have applied themselves. But they know as well as I do that there are only a couple of places to fill. We may have had 15 or 20 throughout the course of pre-season but history will tell you that only one or two will ever get taken on".
