Gregory said: “We have had a few trialists in and a match situation is their chance to impress. I remember Tony Pulis using a phrase ‘midweek internationals’ to describe players who looked great Monday to Friday in training but didn’t perform on a Saturday afternoon. Well, the lads who are here will get that chance on Friday.
He added: “By the end of this week I hope to have at least two more in. We’re very close on a couple of things. We’re still looking to bring in four or five but we will be ready and raring to go by August 9 at Barnsley, that I can be certain of.”
