Hokey Cokey Squad 2014 : Wed Jan 08, 2014 5:33 pm

Is everyone match fit by the way? I can't remember hearing about any injuries.

Swap Walker for Donaldson and I'd agree with that, pretty much. Although I suspect FC may take a similar approach to that of Tony Smith and bring Carvell off the bench either side of half time.

Re: Hokey Cokey Squad 2014 : Wed Jan 08, 2014 11:34 pm  

thanks y'all for the feedback. I did have an inkling about Nathan, checked the Official Bulls Website where he is still listed as Academy, doubted it but comforted myself with the knowledge that you guys would provide the proof. so 10/10 Mat.

Bullcharge and Nothus yes thats what we want, debate about the starting 17 whatever squad we end up with. 10/10 mates.

Fully, not meant to be the full dogs Bull ocks info that SB provides, but yes you've guessed it: 10/10 for pointing that out.

Mat youve missed the latest report that Walker is very nearly fit, but nonetheless 10/10 for the fitness report.

wow, after all that maybe I should change my avatar to Victor Mellowdrew. Mind you, nobody of late quoting spurious statistics.

so as well as the starting 17 game, does anybody else want to play the:

Forecast the best new player game? - please give a substitute in case your first choice exits stage left. Anybody who has read any of my posts (apart from being very sad) will know I am going for Henry by a nose in front of Carvell
Forecast the most improved injured player game? previous winners Scrutton and Langley, my guess Gale but theres one or two others out there awaiting your votes ( subs also required my sub being Sidlow)
Forecast the Best homegrown player game? possibly the toughest category to call, Donaldson has the incentive and the skill, Addy the current form and skill, O'Brien the skill and competition from a competitive and skillful Nathan Conroy to push him along, etc etc

over and out, just seen a post saying that women aged 40+ are keen to see me, I've been living in hope for so long and now it

Re: Hokey Cokey Squad 2014 : Thu Jan 09, 2014 3:38 am  

As this is a "friendly" game there will not be a starting 17.
Our starting line up may be limited only to the number of fit bodies

Mustn't we have 8 academy products in our 1st team squad? If so I expect Conroy to get a squad number.
