sonyc 4,993 Posted November 28, 2020 5 youth players on the bench. Daniel is more supportive than any manager we have had (even though today or options are fewer - still there is no Rupp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
city4eva 188 Posted November 28, 2020 Isn’t Rupp injured... I have lost track..it’s easier to count those that are fit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lappinitup 629 Posted November 28, 2020 Only six on the bench and just Zimmermann as a recognised first teamer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mason 47 1,156 Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) If we come away with 3 points today, having had 12 fit professionals, I'd say that's probably our best result of the season. A mad amount of injuries. Edited November 28, 2020 by Mason 47 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 3,516 Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) I wish he'd gone for youth up top but I guess you could hardly bring on Stiepermann as a striker. Edited November 28, 2020 by Capt. Pants 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cambridgeshire canary 5,801 Posted November 28, 2020 So what's the difference between the other match thread and this offical match thread then? This one have a stamp? Will be interesting to see if any of our youth get a chance.. Would love to see one come on and score. Anyone hedging thier bets? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Newtopia 489 Posted November 28, 2020 Considering the injuries that is a pretty balanced side. Not sure how we can change things if we need to chase the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Bristol Nest 468 Posted November 28, 2020 Wow. The defence looks ok although our left back is a midfielder! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pete 289 Posted November 28, 2020 Stiepermann up top for his physical presence. Allowed 9 on bench you have to wonder why only 6 surely other younsters could have put in, what if we get injuries two or three lost each match Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JF 694 Posted November 28, 2020 Good grief! Been away for a while and haven’t been able to keep up with events too easily but what the hell has happened that we’re having to start Stiepemann up front!!? ( as much as I like the player ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chip20 66 Posted November 28, 2020 That's a pretty sobering bench. Hoping somebody really takes the chance to make a name for themselves today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sonyc 4,993 Posted November 28, 2020 It is interesting that Omotoye and Omobamidele were taken off at half time in their match yesterday. I wondered if they might have had a bit part today and so it seems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robornio 96 Posted November 28, 2020 I initially thought there was a error when I saw the line-up on my Sky app come through. Then remembered the injury crisis was real... Stiepermann hat-trick ️️️ This could be a silly one... 6-5? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only things posted on the official thread will be counted towards any future Pinkun Hit Lists, or are able to be referenced in 2 years time RE: hindsight and pointscoring. I only hope that no important posters get injured whilst posting on the unofficial thread, which would be typical ATM and would really harm our chances in the official threads. 3 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,245 Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) I put this in one of the other match threads - does anyone know the answer? Just wondering about us only naming 6 subs - given that we are at home and presumably have our u23/u18 squads that we could name from, it seems a bit odd. Are we restricted by the homegrown rule in some way - ie that they will count ‘against’ in some way as not having been here long enough? If so, that shows the rules up as daft.
