Only one fit senior centre half for tomorrow in Killa according to the official site. Will GB blood the youth in Lenihan? More likely that Spurr will come in IMO.

Just what is going on at Brockhall? No other club in the league has injury problems like us.

Reminds me of Souness's dying days, when there was God knows how many unfit players.. Apparently all they did was play 5 a-side, which makes you think if something similar is happening now.

Looking at the fitness perspective as a whole though, I think the team looks very slow for the majority of games they play in. Even when they get the ball, general movement on/off the ball is far too slow, to say we try and play on the break.

Fair play to all those going tomorrow. Hopefully the team rewards your commitment!

My team would be for this game considering the injuries would be:-

Raya; Henley, Lenihan, Kilgallon, Spurr; Spearing, Evans; Marshall, O'Sullivan, P.Taylor; Rhodes

Subs:- Steele, Nyambe, Olsson, Cairney, Conway, Gestede, Mahoney.

dont think you are far wrong there chaddy , maybe Steele will come in for Raya

Shocking stuff just give them a chance ffs Bowyer the season is over

I don't suppose he's going to do that whilst there's still a mathematical chance of reaching the playoffs. If he chucked some kids in now no doubt there would be a good few criticising him for that as well.

Mrs D: But Gaz when are we going to see these prize chicklets, Ive seen the team sheet for today :

Shelfy joins the conversation by making static noises

GB: sorry Madame , bad line, bye :)

Not likely at all.

I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for him to have gone.

I was going to go as I was sure Bowyer would lighten up and play some youngsters. Am I glad I didn't now. For any doubters that starting eleven tells you everything about the cautious approach which has cost us this season and last.

tbf it's not a bad line up considering the walking wounded list, Gaz must still think he has a chance of the play offs or Mrs D is demanding an improved position to last season

We are still mathematically not out of the promotion places...

...Madame.

I know it seems like an over reaction and I fully expect us to win today but sick of his slow and steady wins the race approach as although we are still running a race we never ever look like winning it!
