GEORGE Burley is planning to run the rule over more triallists at Bromley tomorrow evening.

The Palace manager has auditioned a large number of players during pre-season without yet taking any of the hopefuls on.

Former Chelsea youngster Liam Bridcutt and ex-MK Dons striker Dean Morgan were deemed not up to scratch after featuring in the Eagles early friendlies.

Veteran Italian Davide Baiocco and Solvenian international Aleksander Radosavljevic impressed during the Chelsea game but nothing has been finalised with either player.

Algerian left back Anthony Ouasfane has been with the Eagles for the past two weeks and former Millwall midfielder Ali Fuseini was the latest hopeful to make his case, the 21-year-old Ghanaian played in midfield against Exeter last Friday.

But Burley is still desperate for numbers and will take the opportunity to look at more players at Hayes Lane tomorrow night.

"We're going to take a full strength squad there and hopefully I'll be able to see a couple more triallists as well," he said. "We'll give the senior players at least 45 minutes and use some of the youngsters.

"This is an important week for us because we only have two more games before the first league match. We want to have a few more players in place by the time we take on Brentford on Friday."
