I know they have yet to be really tested against better opposition but what are people's impressions of the three that are left.
I think that Osei and Johnstone have shown flashes of ability that may make them worth short term deals, not sure about Walker he looked a little ordinary but he has only just joined the squad so difficult to judge.

Thought Walker had a lot more about him than Osei and Thompson. Personally wasn't overly impressed with Osei or Thompson against Penrith, though didn't see them against Blyth or Workington.

Don't think Walker is by any means the finished article, but did enough to be given another look in the next set of friendlies.

Thompson and Osei got a half each at Blyth. Thought Osei was far the better of the 2, and he linked with McQueen very well...

Thompson is a known quantity, with being at Tranmere and Bury, think Osei would be more the unknown, a la Zoko, and may be the one worth a punt...

This.

I've only been to the penrith match and Walker was the best of the 3. He has bags of ability, but think he'll need to hammer the gym for a few months before he's ready for League 2.

I have seen Thompson play before for other clubs and think he could be a decent signing.

Think Kearns has been most promising! If we get his attitude right it'll be like a new signing... Back specifically on topic I liked all 3... Think Osei looks good agree with CCU the unknown factor is intriguing... Thompson looks decent in one on one situations and lools a comfortable crosser of a ball... Something we've sorely missed... And the boy Walker looked half decent the other day... Wouldn't be overly upset with any of the 3 signing
