Knill wants more from trialists
Alan Knill says Scunthorpe trialists Gavin Gunning, Kieran Djilali and Dominic Green need to do a "bit more" to earn contracts.[LNB] Blackburn defender Gunning and former Crystal Palace winger Djilali both started in the 2-0 pre-season win over Rotherham on Wednesday night with ex-Peterborough midfielder Green introduced as a second-half substitute.[LNB]Knill was pleased with the performances from the trio but they still need to shine if given the chance in Saturday's final warm-up clash against Barnsley.[LNB]"I thought they did OK," Knill told Sportinglife.com. [LNB]"Gavin Gunning at left-back did really well, Kieran started well but just tired a little bit towards the end and Dom came on and showed he's a good footballer.[LNB]"We just need a bit more from them.[LNB]"We'll make a decision after Saturday and then we can concentrate on what is the squad."[LNB]Knill was pleased with the Iron's win at the Don Valley Stadium after some disappointing results in their pre-season campaign.[LNB]"I'm delighted," he added. [LNB]"I thought we were excellent in the first half. I think the biggest thing was we stopped them from playing. [LNB]"It's been quite frustrating but two games to go before the season starts to put in a performance like that gives us all a lift."
