We are a fickle bunch. Alternate title: What a week.

March 21st: We need Davies at right mid!!! Cap him, plus he is legitimately the best player in that position that we have.
March 22nd: OMG, did you see Aird today? He was man of the match for sure. I think he nailed down the starting right mid spot.
March 29th: "The Spoob" is eligible for us and seems to want to play with us. I've never seen him play a game but I watched his highlights. He's got to play right mid for us.

Am I the only one trying to remember what the penalty is for players and staff on the bench running onto the field?

I think waaaaaay back when I did my refereeing license in the mid 90's it was a yellow card for a player to enter the field without the refs permission. I'm not sure what the punishment would be for the staff. Hard to tell from the highlights, but it looks like Nicaragua was able to do that (twice). Maybe they'll get a little fine or something, at most.

Players are still a yellow - non-players can't be carded but they still can be instructed to leave the pitch & surroundings.

I can't imagine Wotherspoon starting the GC. Coming off the bench -- sure. I agree with Kent -- we are a fickle bunch. whether it would be for loving Davies and then ditching him for Wothersppon or for hating Haber and then loving him and then hating him again.

Would we be excited if we learned that Haber (A SPL regular) was suddenly eligible to be Canadian? Would he be pushing players who have been in the system for a long time off the starting line? I doubt it. This is why we're on a chat board and someone else is caoching the national team I guess.

What did Straith do wrong to lose his place in the team? And why is Haber not in your team Dominic?....Just noticed Henry as well 0.o you do know he did his ACL right?

Collectively fickle, maybe - but lots don't sway quite that easily.  I still want Davies in the GC squad - not because he is a lock for the best at that position presently amongst all contenders, but for what he brings to the team for years to come.  I am hoping OZ will start to make some of these strategic moves given his oversight of the youth levels as well.

Did not know about Henry, sucks.

i don't like Haber, never really impressed me, I also left out Ian Hume.

 

i wanted to go a bit younger at the back... wish we could get Ferreira.

Don't think anyone's surprised you left out Hume

Nice catches.

He has been a loyal soldier, that's for sure (Straith), I hope he is a regular for FCE. I have just never rated him as a starting CB. But, may be a better option that Jakovic, we will see.

I'm liking our depth in attacking options!

I think that the locks (if healthy/available) are Borjan, Ledgerwood, Straith, James, Jakovic, De Jong, Piette, Johnson, Hutchinson, Arfield, Hoilett, Larin, Akindele, Ricketts 

14 - All players who receive a call anytime they're available.  

After that I'd say the 2 other keepers will be Thomas and Leutwiler

The 7 other outfield players Vitoria, Aird, Tissot, Attakora, Haber, Bustos, Petrasso

Actually, no it is not. There's a long way from the bench of Brighton as a loanee and playing for England U20's to Chelsea and England NT.

Im still condfident we have a good chance. Michael Keane, Eric Dier, John Stones, Gary Cahill, Phil Jones, Chris Smalling, Phil Jagielka, Rob Holding, Joe Gomez and Callum Chambers are all still ahead of him in the pecking order.

I still think it's more likely than not that he never plays for England NT. Nigeria would also be a problem though.

Agree with previous comments about us being fickle. Wotherspoon never played a minute for us, plays his club soccer in the SPL (and not Celtic or Rangers), and all of a sudden he's in peoples starting 11's? Seems a little disrespectful to the current player pool, e.g. guys like Akindele and Osario, who are playing at a similar (or arguably higher) level, and who's spot it should be to loose.
