Shane O’Connor is set to play the second game of his trial spell with Crawley Town when the League Two new boys take on Crystal Palace in a friendly at the Broadfield Stadium this evening. TWTD revealed that the Republic of Ireland U21 international was on trial with Crawley yesterday.

O’Connor impressed in his first game for the Red Devils, scoring one of the goals in an 8-1 thrashing of East Grinstead Town on Tuesday.

The 21-year-old has another year left on his Blues contract but appears to be out of manager Paul Jewell's future plans.

blueherts added 12:17 - Jul 22 Didnt see enough of him but as a Liverpool man I am sure PJ had a good look at him and with Cresswell coming in lets bring him on Lad seems to have lost his way - Happens alot - also he comes from Keanes old team - enough said !!! Good Luck though

algarvefan added 13:05 - Jul 22 Sad...I think he would have made it given the opportunity, he's so young still.

muhrensleftfoot added 13:12 - Jul 22 Yeah this one's a bit of a disappointment. Always looked a good prospect whenever he played in the 1st team. PJ knows better than us of course.

rosseden added 14:03 - Jul 22 this is a weird one, hes looked good when i have seen him play, but Liverpool let him go with no offer of a contract, i think he had a couple of trials before we took him on, and PJ seems happy to let him go..... maybe not a great person to have about for some reason?

Superfrans added 14:09 - Jul 22 We're going to regret losing O'Connor. A decent prospect. Totally baffled by PJ's decision to sideline him. Must be something else behind this, other than his performances on the pitch.

jas0999 added 15:09 - Jul 22 Baffling - BUT must be something going on that we are not aware of.
