Tuesday 15th 7.30pm at Worksop Town ground

Tommy Lee, Brewster, dimaio, McGinn & Mitchell all down to take part.

Presumably, another step in Tommy getting fit? Or maybe a shop window for someone?

[Essex_Spireite]

I would be surprised if Dimaio and McGinn are here come September.

[Sussex Spireite]

Why??

Getting Tommy fit and getting him and the others game time. Not much of a shop window for the others, if someone wants to buy any of them it will be based on previous games not whether they impress against Handsworth, as if they don't .....

Tommy will be gone when fit, one way or another.

The transfer window closes in a couple of weeks time - do you think he'll be fit by then?

[Albert Holmes Slides In]

Handsworth Parramore, a shop window? Apparently Marcelo Bielsa is expected on a scouting mission. He wants to pick GC's brains.

If Tommy isn't fit why is he on the bench?
If Tommy's unfit and he's on the bench, imagine how being Dylan Parkin feels?
If Tommy isn't fit how does he even do the warm-up?
Has anyone ever met a goalkeeper from now or any time in the past who thought he'd let in a goal because he hadn't warmed up properly?
Has anyone ever kept goal in a match at any level and done as much as keepers do in the warm-ups these days?
Is there anyone other than GC who thinks Joe Anyon is in the same street as Tommy Lee as a keeper?

We're playing our ONLY keeper, arguably our most capable defender, our only midfielder who seems to understand what is required at least, the only two players in the team who can run ........ so surely we'll play German, the only one likely to score.

If it turns out to be a shop window we'll at least be able to consolidate at the bottom of the league without any of them.

..Bl@@dy Hell, can't they line up an opposition to give us a chance and a bit of much needed confidence

I can see TL will feature sooner rather that later in the first 11.
GC has started with Anyon as TL still needs to get some match time and build up his fitness (via friendlies and training during the week).
It would have been foolish to just chuck Tommy straight back into the thick of it.

That sounds about right to me.

Defo NO but January 2018 could be the time - the club always manage to squeeze a deal/fee these days. No matter it just disapears down the kazi....

In his 10th season here, you think he will go half way through it?

10 minutes away, new ground, I'm going

Who are they?

[Albert Holmes Slides In]

McGinn is the only established defender now vaguely capable of fulfilling his role, so he's never going to get a proper game is he?

Dimaio knows where he should be and what he should be trying to do in midfield. He can't always, or even often, do it though. None of the others are really worth a light, though Weir probably knows what is happening until his brain runs out of oxygen as his body is consumed by lactic ....

Good that you could recognise the only two players who can actually run without any prompting. Well done.

How does this get tommy fit, he should not hardly touch a ball, keepers dont get fit in matches.

I see it as a mental fitness work out too. Staying "switched on", spotting any signs of danger before it unfolds and its in the back of the net.
Yes, by rights in a game like this, physically he shouldn't touch the ball unless dealing with a back pass or a long ranger
