singleton overplayed and needing a rest?
despite being 109 JP is flogged for 60/70 minutes every week.

he may have a knock but i'm guessing it's another odd decision from our coach

Singleton is injured so at least we know for now he isn't out of the team whilst the Coaches pet is selected.

But some folks don't let such a small think as fact get in the way of having a cheap snipe at the coach.

Classic Southstanders!

So you think its an odd decision by the coach to rest a young player who is carrying an injury. And whats all this "flogged" nonsense. JP like JJB and Delaney have the determination and stamina to maintain high performance with little need for long rests. I'm guessing you grasp any excuse to maintain your agenda.

Whilst it seems Singleton is injured which might explain his exclusion.
What is the reason for sticking with Kirke?
I have yet to see him put in a good performance either going forward or defending.
Whilst he might train the house down he offers very little on a matchday.
It will be interesting who makes way for Singleton when he is fit.
My guess will be Moore or possibly Clarkson.

Just checked my ticket that I bought from our club shop and it still says Monday 5th August - I'm guessing they didn't bother re-printing and that it'll still be valid?

Anyone got a ticket with tomorrows date on it?

Mine say Monday. Hardly unexpected given the short notice given by Sky.

Mine also says Monday, just noticed that we've been allocated the Etihad stand which is down the side I think

I didn't notice Singleton for a large part of the match and thought he must have gone off injured but he came back on late in the game, not sure if he is carrying an injury.

Kirke has been quite frustrating this season, he's showed sparks of his strength in attack and I think that's shown in him being the highest average metre making forward (forgetting baldwinson). However his defence has been awful and the only reason his missed tackle count isn't higher is because he doesn't attempt one half the time. Hopefully the young prop we've just signed will knock him out of the team next year..

Juan - agendas aside.

Who would YOU, on present from with injuries permitting, rather select in our 17 - Kirke or Singleton?

Any one having a few quid on tonights game?

-32 seems like something we could cover if we turn up to play.

JP and Bailey are 5/1 to score at anytime which seems good value (Kirke only 7/2 if you fancy that!)

Or maybe 33/1 for a Burrow hat trick..

That's wrong, Kirke defensively is a decent proposition.

Moving forward with the ball is a slightly different proposition!!

No he isn't. He makes an adequate number of tackles. Nothing more, nothing less.

I said decent which he is, he misses very little defensively.
