No striker on the bench today?

Now I know with Mason we can change the formation around to put him up front but surely it would be beneficial to have Earnie on the bench today?

Team v Donny: Marshall, Blake, Taylor, Hudson, Turner, Ralls, Cowie, Whittingham, Gunnarsson, Mason, Miller.

Subs: Heaton, Kiss, Gerrard, McPhail, Conway.

Odd not to have earnie on the bench unless he is injured or off to sign elsewhere?

Ralls again???

Fair enough he has done well, looked like the occasion got to him a bit on tuesday IMO,
would like to see Conway on and yes Earnie should be in there with Rudy out but MM knows best

Ralls has been playing well, would be harsh to drop him.

Also after the unjustified stick he got after the palace game no doubt MM would have had a word and said make those fans eat there words.

Haven't heard anything about him being injured, we know Rudy is, so it really does look like Earnie is way out of favor at the moment

Ralls again???

Probably a confidence thing mate, hopefully ralls will have a stormer today

I agree

Ralls has done very well IMO against Palace he was getting into positions to score which is good. Once he takes one chance then watch him ?

Ralls, deserves full support/backing.

Totally agree, he's done really well in every game he's played and has earned his spot

Hope your right matey!!!!!!!

it shows how weak we are numbers wise with no striker on the bench god we need new faces

I'd prefer Kiss to Ralls

Ralls has done well but don't agree with putting him in the first 11, should be on the bench imo.

I'd prefer Kiss to Ralls

Sorry i think you put "To" in the wrong place should of put it after prefer

if dj had done that and then we failed to score against a shit team like donny he would be absolutley slated.

Ralls is good for his age but i think Conway should be playing and earny should be on the bench

IMHO Ralls shouldn't have played in the league cup. Sure he is talented but if something wrong happens, it could scar him for life. I'd say let him play in the league and then gradually let him play bigger games when he is confident enough.

It may seem like that 'it is a game of football' but IMO a bad game would affect his confidence which could lower his potental.
