That bench is not good.

No Ng is a worry too, personally would have solidified the midfield too.

Long day ahead.

We are going to get well beaten with that side especially starting Kpackio. Very frustating that our thin squad is being exposed again. At lesst we cant be in the relegation zone tonight.

Lankshear only on the bench for Boro, bit of a suprise. He's top scorer in the league.

Strange no Robbo on the bench,didn’t have that much minutes Tuesday and didn’t seem injured,but did come across as pissed off.
Big game for Kpakio.

That bench is so, so weak.

Robinson's dad making comments on social media probably didn't help him.

You'd get long odds for that. Love the positivity. I'd take a draw right now!

This is what happens when you want a small squad:


No Robinson, Salech or Ng. Bench looks THIN.

Robinson's dad saying on social media yesterday that his son hasn't been treated fairly probably has something to do with it.

Whether people agree with it or not, it's not going to help him.

Why pakio? He's the weakest link every game he plays! His problem is he gives ball away in the wrong places and as we know losing ball in wrong place costs us goals with our midfield? Mistake waiting to happen he should have been loaned out to a div 1 club

Re: TODAY TEAM NEWS CCFC : No Robinson, Salech or Ng. Bench

Kpakio better switch on today, way to laid back and miss places passes, his pace won’t dig him out of his awful defending position… let’s hope he’s learned, still only young.

Ng wasn’t great against Watford, especially in the first half

He's RB cover. Our RB is not in the squad. Not rocket science is it??

Sadly agree. The lad shouldnt be any where near the first team at the moment and needs U23 footbal or a loan to develop him. I hope fans there encourage him though.

Atleast we got turnbackwards Turnbull to come on in the middle to change the game :lol: although I do think fish should be starting as he wins most battles for headers. Kpakio has been awful for along time let's hope his luck changes and ours.

Going to be a real tough one this i just hope theres not the usual over reaction if we take a bit of a pounding as these games are not the ones that will define our season

Today shows just why us fans were I happy with minimal signings this summer.

Personally happy to see young Troy Perret on the bench. Unlikely to get on but great experience for the Barry lad

I’ve been out of it for a few days so first I’ve heard of this. So now nothing other than your post. I’m hoping a players dad’s social media comments aren’t the reason he’s not in the squad I’m sure there’s a legitimate reason. If the reason is that then that worries me a little about the mentality of Murphy.

He's actually doing quite well so far today. Perhaps the manager knows best!

Spot on Sven. But to much negativity today, Worcester said 4-0. He could do with a boost today.
