[Ricey]

Only one change from last week.

 

[Boreham Blue]

Good to see Clifford back in contention

 

[Westcliff DGS]

Why are we naming only 6 sibs, have the rules changed

 

[Ricky Otto]

Hope I'm wrong but can only see another defeat

Carlisle have seven named.

 

[OllieSteph44]

Amazed no one has picked up on this before. We only named 6 at Gills and Harrogate

 

[palexander]

Where’s akinola?

 

[superblue24]

Goodship in the side, might as well be playing with 10.

 

[superblue24]

Where’s anikola??

Not ready yet

 

[Massimo Giovanni]

While I am ready to accept the starting 11 is stronger than last week, can we realistically expect Macca to make the huge improvement that is required happen on his own?
Today will be another tough day.
And I am disappointed that NONE of the crop of older crocks have pulled through; if only to make the bench.

 

[MisterStubbs]

Just want to see a much improved performance after last weekend. Happy to see Macca come straight in, would have given him the armband personally.

I might be missing something, but I thought only one of McCormack or Akinola could be registered.

Assuming I'm right then it means Akinola hasn't been registered. Given that MM said he's not match fit that might actually be the case. That would mean that someone will be on the way out to make room to register Akinola when he's fit.

We will continue to struggle until we have more senior players involved. All 6 on the bench are inexperienced so there is no scope to change things much atm. We are effectively hamstrung until we improve the balance of the squad. I suppose this gives our kids the benefit of learning but it could do damage to confidence as well. We cannot keep starting like this and we have to be in a better position before the end of the year or we will be in the mire.

Saying that (dons specs of a distinctly rose colour) please prove me wrong today guys!

Surprised to see who the captain is - again

Just because people don't put it on here doesn't mean they haven't picked up on it.

Harry Kip maybe ?

 

[Pak Power]

Well someone said Matt Rush was making way......he's named on the bench

Ok mate! Plenty mentioning it on Twitter, I’m stupidly thinking that someone would probably only mention it the first time they noticed it....not see it three weeks in a row then say it! I mean it’s not really relevant or slightly odd enough to see and not warrant a mention I guess ?‍

Harry Kip maybe ?

No kyprianou or Mitchell Nelson in the squad...
