Well, the return of the Mac lasted a long time.

I'm very confused by the embargo rules now, how are we allowed to add Taylor and Acquah to the squad? I saw someone suggest that maybe Demitriou and Lennon somehow didn't count since they hadn't made it into a squad this season but they're in the squad today so that can't be the case.

Bizarre, to say the least.

Macca
Dieng
White
All "injured" alternate translation....not paid.

Calling it now, today’s the day we get our first three points of the season. Come on you Blues!

Looks like Demetriou is in charge of the nursery today............

 

[SeaSideDoughnut]

Surprised to see Demetriou on there, disappointed not to see Macca... One step forward, one step back?

How injured are White and Dieng? I seen some post saying it's about defered furlough pay... I don't know how true that is.

 

[Blue Yonder]

The bench looks better than the team

 

[sammy666]

What's happened to Mac ? Did he cut himself shaving this morning ?

 

[OllieSteph44]

More to the point with only 6 subs where are Kinali and Phillips?

 

[Boreham Blue]

Also odd that we are only using 6 subs again. Wonder if Harry Phillips might have been released as otherwise why not keep as a sub (unless injured)

Beat me to it

 

[SeldomSeenShrimper]

Goodship.

That is all.

 

[Chrisb]

There is no Kyps again so perhaps he has freed up a space ?

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

More to the point with only 6 subs where are Kinali and Phillips?

I can only imagine that it's some sort of EFL restriction/compromise. We'll let you register some extra players but you'll only be able to name 17 players each match day.

 

[Alex]

If Phillips and Kinali both not available for whatever reasons then surely Kyprianou, Mitchel-Nelson or Howard could have filled the 7 sub

 

[Barry.C]

Pleased to see Lennon back ,on bench, hope he gets some minutes in safely

 

[Sussexshrimper]

Totally confused ..no mac ..maybe 60 mins at Carlisle is the pinnacle for a few weeks ..goodship mmm must start getting involved more
