Re: Squad for Sunday 23rd October (Away to FC Alpha)

Following another good turnout at training last night, we can now name a squad of 14 for this coming Sunday's match as follows:
Simon Jackson (GK)
Terry Moore
Alan Barnard
Martin Loveday
Tony King
Martin Cruickshank
Danny Hagan
Terry Brown
Steve Cokell
Daniel Cascoe
Daniel Daley
Leon McKenzie-McKay
Colin Bester
John Scouller

I didn't actually check with John last night that he is available, so I presume Trevor did ?

Ben Keating is still away on holiday (as far as we know) and was not at training last night, but if he is available, he can come into the squad as well. Colin has warned us that he is playing the day before and is not sure if his recent back injury will stand up to two games in two days, so he might have to drop out on Saturday night/Sunday morning.
We must try and get a squad of 14 for this match if we can.
Lee King has asked not to be picked for this match unless we are short as he is struggling to pay his subs at the moment.

Various other players are now working or doing other things on Sundays, so in general we are down to a squad of just 17 regular players (including Lexton, who is suspended for this match).
We are getting perilously close to Conor McGovern & Stuart Dorward having to come out of retirement !

Trev can't get on the Forum at work as it's blocked there, so hopefully he'll reply on here this evening or text/phone you.

I am confused surely the comment you posted as below stipulates that Ben can come into the squad if available:

I think Ben means play as opposed to being an unused sub.

The problem is having four subs and some players in the squad owing over £25.00, one of whom is Ben. That's what Trev needs to sort out, as if Ben can't afford to pay and others can, then he might be one of those four subs.
We all know that if we have four subs, whoever doesn't get brought on will moan like hell and say they could have worked instead...or whatever.
The £25.00 rule is 'at the discretion of the Team Manager'.

Re: Squad for Sunday 23rd October (Away to FC Alpha)

I have sent Ben a text to say he is in the squad.

I don't name the team until shortly before kick off.

I am sure that Ben will bring some subs with him - hopefully he had a win in Vegas!
