Not necessarily either, as Bruno can tuck in if necessary.

Glen Thomas

He can. So I would imagine he will be on the bench.
Wikipedia says he played only 3 times for us. I recall, very presciently, the Brentford away game when he gifted them two horror goals. His last game for us was a P'filled, where a ball was played back to him which ran past, towards our goal, and an opposition player ran round him, like he was a lump of rock in the middle of a stream, to beat our keeper. Glen Thomas indeed. Brighton's worst ever player? I gather that Marco Gabbiadini's brother might run him close, but I think he only had one game for us. Thomas for me was beyond embarrassing. And apparently he was a charmless cock off the pitch, to boot.
I am very nervous about today

No evidence online of that day at GP, sadly. Right in front of the away end. Two down before most of us had got in the ground.
Wikipedia says he nearly lost an eye after colliding with a tree during a training session.

Ben White was on the bench for the Lincoln cup-tie.

Lets hope no subs are needed as the team are playing well and winning.and nobody injured.
I think I'm missing something here.........I don't recollect this Glen Thomas at all, but that's neither here nor there - is it being suggested that he is actually on our books and available to play?
Dallison, White or the Chelsea lad, I would imagine - is Hall completely out of the frame? - whoever CH reckons is the best bet.

Glen Thomas was an ex player CB in the late 90s who only played a few games but was a disaster in each game..

You need to take a chill pill @HWT, that's twice I've seen your nervousness

When was the last time you saw a game in which we made no substitutions?

An absolute calamity of a player in the dark days. His defining moment was away at Griffin Park where, in front of a huge and raucous away following, he scored an own goal and gifted them another with a terrible back pass. I think a certain Darren Freeman was the Brentford player who was gifted a goal. Game over about 20 minutes in.

I remember Glen Thomas unfortunately and I was at that Brentford match when he gifted them those two goals - I had, however, forgotten his name and just remembered him as "that useless lump".
That's the second memory that always comes to mind when I think of Brentford away - the first being Nelson's wonder goal in the F A Cup. Let's hope for more "Nelson" today and less "Thomas" !!
As regards the CB on the bench I wonder what has happened to Ben Hall although I suppose it is more likely that Tomori would be employed as he can cover all along the back line

Hmmm, "Presciently". Are you sure? I think your normally high standards may have slipped with that one. A pity it's too late to edit as the long term damage to your reputation could have been averted.
True, but I'm struggling to remember when we last substituted one of the back four (apart from re-arranging the deckchairs after a red card).
