Great news but will tilly risk both of them.
Great news but will tilly risk both of them.
We're getting perilously close to having the bench that Tilly has always wanted: a bench that can genuinely change the game. Having Dougie and Barny on the bench (and I don't think for a second either of them will start) would be fantastic if we're chasing the game in the last half hour or so...
It's good that they are making noises about being fit, but given neither has played any reserve team football to ease their way back to match fitness means that neither should realistically play a major part on Saturday.
Not only is there a risk of further injury if they are given too long, especially Barney as the mere thought of football usually ends up with him on the treatment table, but a certain Mr Walker deserves a start on Saturday for his recent goal scoring exploits.
If both make the bench, and he is left out completely, it would send out a ridiculous message from the manager, given that he has done everything that has been asked of him in recent weeks.
I really hope common sense prevails.
I doubt very much that Matt is match fit.
:) Perhaps a spell on the BENCH would be more appropriate then, given his current vocation!
I'll get my coat!
Is this the point to make an additional comment about the Bar?
