Sherwin : Thu Feb 19, 2009 4:21 pm  

Why put sherwin in 19 man squad but then state you aint gonna play him?
He may as well pick bob beardmore in squad cos he aint gonna play either.
Just seems pointless to me

Sack the BOD!

Nah, I don't see the point either, I guess it's on the off chance he is fit.

It's to keep the opposition guessing.

Where has TM said that he won't be playing Shifty?

: Thu Feb 19, 2009 4:50 pm  

To quote TM from cas and pont.

"Sherwin has a chance, I'm just wary because he hasn't had any game-time yet," said Matterson. "I'd rather err on the side of caution because it's a long season. we've got the players out there to do the job and we weren't far away.
"But it's a tough one and I really haven't made my mind up yet."


Read into that what you will.

Last week I'm sure I read he was 'fully fit'... Mind games!

It is mind games i'm sure, we could do with shifty back but i'd rather not play him if he's not 100% fit (play him a few games in reserves to get him match fit)

Other than that if he's fully fit and raring to go get him in there, looking at the Wigan squad there doesnt seem anything to worry about other than Leuluai who can be dangerous but a good defence like we had on Sunday will stop him ( I hope )

Make some noise tigers!!!!!!

Gotta keep them guessing, hinting that he's not gonna play might make them assume he's not gonna and not concentrate on what he may bring to the game. Similarly, they might assume we're double bluffing and expect him to play when he may be a few games away from playing.

I'm gonna predict he plays.

Bet there really bricking it not knowing if shifty can play!

I guess it will hinge on if he has to bring his own walking frame or if the JJB has the facilities to cope with people that age attempting to play.

Why would you want someone like Broughy when you have a fella of his class at your club!

So you've never seen Sherwin play then?
