I do a bit of that myself. My boss now knows what colours we play in and one of my Mexican colleagues (based in Colorado) often asks about our results.
No idea how the suspensions work at the international level, but it could be u21 only or maybe they don't apply to friendlies.
(I realise I should just have stopped after "No idea how the suspensions work...")
When we signed Shaw, I thought that was to let us get back to starting with 2 strikers up top.
Four successive games playing a lone striker and (barring biblical proportional miracles) four defeats on the trot surely confirms it doesn't suit us.
With all strikers fully fit I suspect Bair/Wilkinson is our biggest mismatch. Either of those 2 paired up with Obika, Biereth or Shaw is likely to be more effective.
Of course, while we play one up top, it's a moot point.
We lost Butcher because of that joke of a playing surface.
No doubt they will keep it dry and sticky to reduce the possibility of making any kind of pass.
I hope we beat them and they don't win another home game all season.
I think's Turnbull's game is tailor-made for some of the European leagues where they aren't hell bent on high tempo, high press tactics.
Doubt he'll choose that as an option, but hope he finds a regular start somewhere.
Don't mind a bit of pantomime booing when an ex-player is on the field for the opposition.
When DT has been in the stand as a spectator on a few occasions, however, I think he was given a warmer welcome.
