Does McCormack not have drug and alcohol problems?
I watched the last ten minutes of the Wigan game and big Cedric was clearing everything. They are up to third and he's got the Simon Phoenix hair back.
They couldn't have done less Sammon, Grimshaw, Donnelly or ATS in their appearances. Or Elliot Frear and Andy Rose on Saturday (obviously requiring a change of formation).
Players from the u20s seem to be held to a higher standard than signed players by some people.
That's a very good question!
You would need to ask Burrows and Robinson what is going with the huge squad and why we are the only team in the league who haven't blooded a youngster this season.
NEC got relegated last season so i'm not sure how good a player from their u23s would be if he can't get in the squad in the Eerste Divise.
It might be a better idea to play some players from our own u20 squad than go down a route that could easily be Petravicius Mk II.....
The wee boy hit Mitchell in the chest from about a yard away. It was only a rolled up bit of paper but you can't really blame Madden for highlighting it.
McHugh cost us the game and possibly cost Carson a lot more. He played well but it's not the first time he's done something extremely stupid.
Aldred by a mile.
1 new outfield signing on show today. "Strengthen 12-17" yet we are still looking to Frear and Bowman to change things for us.
Campbell is never an attacking midfielder, Cadden is never a wingback and Tait is wasted on the left. Rose is a passenger, drop him and put the three of them where they should be.
The Youth Cup final showed there is an appetite for this kind of fixture. Hopefully the club really promote it and we get a similar atmosphere to that night.
If Campbell is injured get Cadden in the middle, Tait on the right and Frear on the left.
Looking forward to Aldred vs Ikpeazu. Not looking forward to Naismith's diving, greeting coupon.
We can use two senior players in this game so it'll be interesting to see who gets chosen from the fringes of the first team squad. Candidates are Gillespie, Mbulu, Donnelly, Grimmy, Rodriguez and Newell.
I'd go with the keeper and either Donnelly or Mbulu.
