Why has he put practically a full side out for a meaningless game?

Thought 2 yellows was only 1 match ban

They change the rules that often I don’t kna anymore

Two weeks till the next League game. The kids will play in the Pizza Cup on Tuesday.

I do get that ,the time gap but I'd be inclined to start youth team in both ...I'd be flinching if I was LJ every time Flanagan ,cirkin or Neil got the ball incase of a mistimed tackle by over eager Mansfield players

Looks like Alves at RB.

 

[Alfies Hat]

Harris on bench, hope he gets a decent run out.

It is.

 

[Billy Batts]

f***ing Wright and Flanagan CBs man.

 

[Mally Mackem]

Harris on bench, hope he gets a decent run out.

hel get 2 minutes when were 3 nowt down with 1 minute to go..

 

[horselover]

Alves right back or very attacking 351?

 

[mad maxim]

Hat-trick for AOB.

That would leave a lot of players with no match for the best part of three weeks. It's a balance of injury risk and loss of match fitness.

Why has he put practically a full side out for a meaningless game?

Because he needs a win. He's under pressure. And we don't have a league match for 2 weeks. Fair enough for me.

 

[red mackem]

Yea Bailey Wrights playing though, so like I said 351

 

[Herberthall]

Harris on bench, hope he gets a decent run out.

No chance he'll bring O'Nein on to play upfont like he did at Crewe

 

[Alfies Hat]

hel get 2 minutes when were 3 nowt down with 1 minute to go..

 

[Scotty 1978]

Better tune me wireless in

 

[Hetty]

u23s ply tomorrow

Better tune me wireless in

Only on DAB, Gateshead on FM

 

[mackemal]

With Wright playing I would hope he goes 3 at the back as that's when he looks most comfortable

 

[LukeJH96]

To make sure we win?

Yes, I think you're correct. Any clues to why Aiden O'Brien has earned a place having given a 1/10 performance on Tuesday?

O'Brien has done canny enough in other games, nobody other that Stewart and, for me but I know it's not universally popular, O'Nien, emerged with any kind of credit. I think O'Brien, as the centre forward suits him better so I am hopeful. Right to rest Stewart and the options otherwise aren't there.
