Good stuff I genuinely think Loft deserves a chance and it seems that Adams agrees with the minority of us...! Whether that is a good thing or not is another matter.

No Dixon on the bench. Perhaps his days are numbered...

 

[Wilka]

Good to see Loft getting a chance.

Dixon is injured I think.

 

[Frutos]

Sullivan must really be wondering what the point of him being here is.

 

[clarkey]

Doesnt matter if hes not on the bench, looks like the official site has decided they wont come on any way!

 

[Scotty Mac]

loft playing on the RIGHT?!

good to see he is getting a chance in his natural position

 

[Mendoza]

Who the fuckin hell's Robinho, Who the fuckin hell's Robinho,
Who the fuckin hell's Robinho
When we've got Dougie Loft Loft LOFT


I reckon Livermore will play well in centre mid, his natural position, cant believe Virgo is still picked there, but the team is looking STRONG

 

[One True BHA]

good to see livermore getting a chance in the centre

and lynch back in the team

Reckon he's just hanging on for his testimonial now

he is only young. not many keepers play first team football at such a young age

 

[Frutos]

True, but he's not even getting on the bench for a game in the most pointless pot in English football (unless we do well in it, obviously. In which case it becomes highly prestigious).

 

[Scotty Mac]

no - but most are blooded in for a few games if the manager thinks they are good enough

hopefully they allow us 7 subs like the rest of europe and premiership soon. good for the younger lot to experience being in the squad

 

[Mendoza]

no - but most are blooded in for a few games if the manager thinks they are good enough

I think his BOOKING from last season is being held against him

 

[clarkey]

Would love Murray to bang a couple in to shut up all the doubters at least until Saturday.

Maybe even that wouldnt stop them though

 

[Knotty]

Sullivan must really be wondering what the point of him being here is.

Just like dozens of other reserve keepers. I'm sure he knows the score.

I know it's only the JPT but it is the only cup competition in which we have a fair chance of reaching the final stages and thus earning a bit of much-needed revenue. It is not a game in which to experiment with a keeper who has not yet played a competitive first team game. That's too much of a gamble.

If Michel gets injured or has a serious loss of form that will be his chance if MA thinks he's good enough.

 

[British Bulldog]

With Livermore being more of a defensive midfielder I guess it means Virgo will be pushing on more as an attacking midfielder? Could work.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Would love Murray to bang a couple in to shut up all the doubters at least until Saturday.

Correct.

 

[One True BHA]

maybe he doesn't think he's good enough then..

 

[pornomagboy]

i thought crompton would have been given a chance today
