The team has to include at least four players that one of the following criteria fit:
- Started on Saturday or will start next Saturday
- On loan from a category one academy
- Have played 40 first team games
I don't know if those players have to start or just be in the squad.
Kellyman is obviously on loan from Cat 1 academy so he would take up one of those places if involved.

about time he got involved he played pre season looked totally uninterested, and i don' t know what injury he had, if he had one ? or was it he wanted away ?
did i read murphy had been chatting with him, perhaps it has been kept in house and now he is taking a while to get upto speed but knowing murphy will not pick if they don' t look the part in training.

That makes team selection a bit more difficult.
Like I said, Kellyman would take up once place if he starts.
Chambers, Ng, Robinson could be the other three.

Why does it make it difficult? I’m confused

Cant see it being a problem. We have 5 players at least who are match fit and have had little game time and in need of a start. Robinson, Chambers, Turnbull, Davies, Ng for starters. Plus there may be a couple who started on Saturday who BBM is considering not playing next weekend anyway -Ashford?

Okay so it's not just me that thought it was a strange rule. What if you play someone fully expecting him to play in the next league game & he gets injured in this game & is unable to play for a couple of weeks?
