[Austin the Shrimper]

No Timlin in squad, Injured?

 

[Ricey]

We really are down to the bare bones, who is Mitchell-Nelson?

 

[The Big Dady]

The Oldham team

 

[The Big Dady]

Youngsters Lewis Gard and Miles Mitchell-Nelson in the squad for the first time.

 

[davewebbsbrain]

Fortune dropped. 3 games in a week a bit much I'd imagine

 

[AndyT]

Christian Benteke there, on the bench! :omg:

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Is that Miles Mitchell-Nelson's and Lewis Gard's first appearance on the bench?

Do they even have squad numbers?

 

[SeaSideDoughnut]

A few new names there, anyone know much about these youngsters?

As long as it's not Nelson Mitchell.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Come on you Shrimpers :happy: :happy: :happy:

 

[Harry Bullocks]

As stated above....no Timlin .....:omg:

 

[RHB]

I had hoped that Elvis and Demi would swop postions for this game, but not to be. With Harrison in front of him we may be a little lacking in match nous on the left, we shall see. Good to see Harry getting his chance.

 

[Fairport]

Timlin and Wordsworth are injured. Mitchell - Nelson is a centre back and Gard a midfielder.

 

[The Big Dady]

In total eight of this evening's first-team squad have spent time at the club's Academy: Harry Kyprianou, Elvis Bwomono, Dru Yearwood, Nathan Bishop, Miles Mitchell-Nelson, Lewis Gard, Michael Kightly and Freddie Ladapo.

Your team must be getting younger.

I bet McGladhan must be ****ed off at Harrison getting a game ahead of him.
SCP seems to have taken a good look at all sort of combinations, but McG seems to have drawn the short straw

 

[Tony Allen]

I see that David Webb is the ref - is that allowed?

 

[jarvisyeh]

Unsure on the inexperienced Kyp, Elvis and Harrison all together, but Kyp and Elvis have impressed individually when called upon.

Great to see Theo rewarded for two good performances against Gills and MK. Hopefully he can continue that form.

I have heard good things about Doyle, Nazon and Byrne for them so we will have to be at the top of our game tonight.

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

I see that David Webb is the ref - is that allowed?

Yes that's fair, as we keep getting thrashed away from home. And with Paul Brush and Brett Angell as linesman, it gives us a chance.
