Excellent Team...with Hickey, Steven and Steele.
Even though he is not listed as an emergency, Dempster is probably the stiffest to miss out.

[SemperFidelis]

Ok, I only count 19 players in that list!

Are they being deliberately tricky?

Website says mids at full strength and names Jack S

Thanks for filling in the missing line!

[bigcarl]

No Acres

[saynta]

I'm willing to bet that Acres will play.

[Wrote for Luck]

why is Paddy listed on the bench? or does it fall into the 'it doesn't really matter anymore' category?

[Playon]

Yeah you forgot to add

I might be biased (I'm sure I am) but looking at the teams I can't see us losing.

Who is the player out with a hammy as stated by tony74,

Who is the player out with a hammy as stated by tony74,

It may be one of our depth players which would be disappointing as well.
Richo seemed to say that Freezer was progressing well and did not have a problem with the hammy.

[Con Gorozidis]

I quite like our side. Thumbs up. I am an Acres fan but his time will come. Seems to start the year slowly.

Sean Dempster has been incredibly durable and played 126 games in the last 6 years. Think about that for a moment.

It looks like his incredible run is now over. Will be a back-up this year only.

[DJ Higgins]

No Dempster is harsh as he has done nothing wrong. Acres in understandable as he hasn't excelled in the JLT. More problems will occur next week when Joey is back. Nice problems to have for a change

[Con Gorozidis]

I did say all summer long that there is no way we will play all three of Carlisle, Dempster and Brown in the same side. Would be too slow.

Look at who isnt playing for us. Great depth.

Dempster
Montagna
McKenzie
Acres
K Stevens
Longer
Long
Battle

In place of?

Longer in the emergencies, Tony74 posted in the training thread that someone had pinged a hammy in training today. Perhaps it was Paddy?

We can add Sinclair, White and Minchington to that.

Note unless Paddy has a new role...

I can tell you however that one of our mid fielders is a trifle sore, and may miss

[skeptic]

Disappointed for Acres...

I feel like this kid is best 22 on performance and am a bit over whatever this funny thing is with him being in and out of the side whilst others get more chances

Good team otherwise though

[Impatient Sainter]

As long as the injured player is not Jack Steven - Acres will be a good replacement.

and Lonie, who I reckon was awfully close to selection and in my view, deservedly so.

I'm pretty sure Tony74 was referring to someone other than the "trifle sore midfielder". If Paddy didn't play, you could possibly go with both Hickey & Longer.
