No Paul Smith! :stunned:

Brown said Josh Rees may be given another chance in a behind closed doors friendly when Blues get back from Madrid.

Snap Sam! :smile:

 

[blueveined]

No Paul Smith! :stunned:

Pretty sure he's still injured.

Not a bad squad, apart from being a little light up top.

Feel a little bit sorry for Jack Payne not in the 18. I guess early days for him in his career.

Think this is good management keeping the door open for him.

Pretty sure he's still stuck to his line.

Edited for accuracy

He has recently come back from a bad injury, so guess he will be staying behind with Smith to help recovery.

No Josh Rees on the trip either, although Brown said he may be given another chance in a behind closed doors friendly after the Madrid trip. (via @SUFCRootsHall)

 

[lee bradbury is a legend]

Paul Smith is injured.
I spoke to him at MTBD and he told me he's training and looking forward to re-claiming the no 1 jersey.

'May be' and If he hasn't been snapped up elsewhere in the meantime. Don't know why I'm saddened by this news, perhaps it's the chance of a local talent being signed on. Maybe Rees and Clifford are too similar to sign both on, could it rely on how well Clifford performs in Spain, as to whether Rees gets another chance?

CP has said Rees will be included in a behind closed doors friendly when they come back, so all is not lost, I guess they had limited numbers who they could take.

 

[Streaky]

Maybe the possible signing of O'Toole or Lee is on the cards - so don't need both of these youngsters...

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Timlin included in the squad, Will feature??.........presumably it's not just to get a suntan after all those days shut up inside?

 

[Pubey]

I think it makes sense to keep the squad fairly compact on tour.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Looks like Smith is being given a message.
(Ah I see on the other Madrid thread he's still injured).

 

[kentblues]

By all accounts Chesterfield were very impressed by Clifford and he looks a great prospect at our level. Taking him to Madrid is perfect timing- get him bonded with the team and wanting to stay
One of the really interesting things about the squad is am I right in thinking Barker is the only one over 30?
Most are early to mid 20s

Smith is injured.
