There you go, including Barrett

Is that Bexon's first ever appearance on the 1st team bench?

Is that Bexon's first ever appearance on the 1st team bench?

I'm pretty certain it is.

 

[mattitouk]

Looking at the starting XI, its a pretty solid line up, IMO. Good to see AB & Timlin starting too.

I wonder who told AB he was captain :unsure:

 

[manor15]

3 players from Saturday, rules state there should be 5 who started Saturday or who have started a certain percentage of league games. Barrett might qualify through the percentage rule or it may be that Demetriou on international duty and injury to Oxley provide two exemptions.

 

[SeaSideDoughnut]

That's a decent XI. £10k is up for grabs if we win. That might not be a lot in footballing terms but money's money.

Bang goes the rumour of AB never playing for us again.

 

[RHB]

Bang goes the rumour of AB never playing for us again.

Really?......................

Including the bench, a truly multinational Blues team this evening.

By my reckoning, there are natives of England, Cyprus, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, France, the Czech Republic and at least a couple from Siberia.

I thought the rumour was that he was banished to play with the kids?

Yes I think your right, (bearing in mind, i thought it is from the last league game not FA Cup). what with Oxley injured and Demetriou away, I think that bolsters Barrett and O'Neill into the required percentage, then add to that Ferdinand is also out injured since starting the Shrewsbury game, it seems about right for 8 changes.

Indeed, that plane back from Siberia must have been packed! :smile::winking:

 

[mattitouk]

Nuts.. Not the best of starts.

Hope Teds head doesnt drop to much :thumbdown:

 

[Shrimper]

Cox off. To play younger player? Bridge on.

 

[mattitouk]

Bridge on for Cox after 9 minutes.

 

[Shrimper]

Cox with the physio, injured then...

 

[Firestorm]

Cox off already, that's Brown playing the rules......

 

[MK Shrimper]

Great. Hats of to this pile of ***** trophy.
