No Carson again not even on bench, hope he isn't injury prone and he has been a gamble

Hopefully it's just precaution, I know dembele is back him for family issues but no tuton so we must not be taking him and anyone got any ideas on what formation we are playing today ??

Depends what you mean by "injury prone". He played the majority of the 13/14 season, didn't miss a game in the entire 14/15 season. He seems to have missed games at the start of 15/16 but then played every game from 17th October through to the end of season. He missed a fair amount of last season but up until that injury the only games he missed were for international matches.

 

By all accounts it looks like he's picked up a couple of injuries but nothing to suggest that he's "injury prone" or for that matter, a gamble.

No Dembele or Tuton either.

 

Robinson covered Dembele in his interview yesterday. He's back in London as he's got personal business to attend to. He indicated he expected to hear one way or another from him on Monday.

 

Tuton, I'd imagine we've passed on. I don't think Robinson mentioned him post-game during the week whereas he indicated both Kipré and Dembele would be offered deals. He also spoke about how he felt we needed another type of forward with a bit of pace up front and again there was no reference to Tuton. Robinson was pretty non-committal about him after the Stirling Albion game too.

 

Given that he's still under contract with Barnsley his trial period seemed a bit odd, unless of course they willing to just let him walk.

2-0.

 

Disappointing. It's only a friendly, it's only a friendly, it's only a friendly, it's only a friendly......

Get in there with the pre-season disappointment!

 

Don't think about it as even a friendly. Think about it as a training session where the gaffer gets to try out some new tactics, pairings and ideas. Because that's exactly what it is. Also remember the players are out there on the back of some hard single and double training sessions - the exact opposite of normal game prep.

 

The players won't be fit until the Rangers game, so be ready for some non-peak performances in the Cup too.

 

Then put your feet up, have a beer and enjoy your weekend.
