Too many games ... but strong squad to Villa?

[earthworm]

Make up yer mind Davies?! Hasn't he been moaning about too many fixtures at the season's begining in after match interviews? Yet according to the OS, we're sending lots of 1st teamers to Villa, where they can get knackered on their international break. Eh? What?

It's not exactly going to be a grueling encounter is it. Just a kick around!

Cue 5 long term injuries post-match.

Read it again.

It doesn't say that.

Except where it says "Will give as many of his first team squad members as possible a taste of match action."

To be fair, that i itself suggests they won't have to play 90 minutes. I don't see a problem with the friendly, I doubt Billy is stupid enough to wear players out in a friendly 4 days before a league match. I'd be surprised if anyone played 90 minutes (any starter on saturday anyway) except maybe the keeper. And probably not even the keeper because he may test out Smith like he has in the cup.

Exactly - to me, "squad members" implies to me it will be the lads who haven't had much first team action.

Lads like Mitchell & Fairclough for example.


Oh,

All the players in the first team including starters are squad members of the first team...

I have no idea what you're trying to say here.

I assume you mean that if someone has started a game that they are a member of the Squad?

Yes, this is true.

However, if you were talking about say Lescott in the in England squad you'd call him just a 'squad player.'

Do you see? It's all in how you read it?

Now run along and ring Billy and get the full low down.

I would imagine it's rolling subs and three and in.

 

[JtheNorwegianRed]

Do we have a big enough squad to not play any first team players in these matches?

A very valid point.

I think we have about 16 fit players right now so not really spoilt for choice. I expect this will be treated very much like an extended training session with a little friendly competitive banter. Great to see Moussi and Lynch back. ;D

 

[earthworm]

Great to see Moussi and Lynch back. ;D

Yeah, that's the up side to all this.

I'm sure Billy knows what he's doing like, it just struck me as a bit odd when I read that last night. I'd heard several people make the point that him moaning about the amount of games at this stage of the season was a surprise ... because the season's only just begun.

Anyway, we've got no reserves now, so these games will keep cropping up to get injured players back to fitness.

Well start reading it right! ;D

I have spoke to Billy and he said I am right and he hates you more than fire hates water...

I really wanna see Mitchell get a run out, I went to school with him and he is a great lad and a great player! I just hoped he has toughened up a bit since school, as I used to kick his ass lol! Good luck tho buddy for when it is your time! ;D
