Some welcome selection problems for AC today
backs Connell, wings - 2 from butt,Fleming ince centres probably sambou and Owens
hub - Tom and jordan
front row - Murray,JJ and Chapelhow
backrow - really is a difficult one assuming 3 are back from injury ( not counting langtree as that’s a hit)
roberts,langtree and I would go mcwhirter
bench fozzy,Lawton,Wilde and Houghton ? 18th hall
thoughts ?
I'd go with
1 Connell
2 Ince
3 Flemming
4 Sambou
5 Butt
6 Abdull
7 Gillmore
8 Murray
9 JJ
10 Chapplehow
11 Langtree
12 Roberts
13 Mcgwerter
14 Foz
15 Lawton
16 Wilde
17 Hall
18th Owens
I think it's being forgotten that gregson is back fit so almost certainly be a starter ....he's a Coleman shoe in and TBF I think in recent performances it's justified....
I'd imagine it'll be along the lines of...
Connell ...Ince .Fleming..sambou..butt .. Gilmore..abdull... Murray...JJ .. chapelhow... langtree..Wilde ..gregson
Bench... Lawton.. McWhirter..fozard ..hall ..
18th ...Roberts or Owens
Whatever teams picked this is gonna be one tough game. Hoping for a better result then when we last played them…
heres to hoping we absolutely smash them!
Anyone know is it just radio coverage today?
No abdull
no real prop on bench (shudder)
No abdull
no real prop on bench (shudder)
Any faint hope I had of performing at Donny has disappeared now with no Abdul and the lightweight subs. Hoping I’m proved wrong…
@johnnyboy we get ourselves in a position of strength and positivity and we seem to just give it away
why give a prop away if the one you have (houghton) the coach doesn't fancy ? I'm sorry I just don't understand that logic esp playing Donny who are huge
On the face of it,very strange selection
coleman in pre match interview pretty much confirmed Abdul been rested because we need a run threat from the halves ....not sure when Lyons has ever been a run threat ... he'll tackle a bus but run threat is a bit much ....so we've basically rested the best long kicking game in the league for effectively no kicking game ...because we want to inject a non existent running threat ... bizarre to say the least but if we come out of it with a win it's genius 😂
@cumbria-viking the game you need a long kicking game when you have no props and they're huge lol 😂
oh dear
to be fair he does talk crap ! Basically he's going to try and defend to a victory!!
master technician lol 🤦♂️😂😂😂
Sorry can’t get any commentary and not seen team, but to drop Abdul seems stupid
anyone got commentary connection ?
16-0 HT. Well that selection gamble paid off…
If Abdul is fit and well and has been dropped for Lyons that is a breath taking lapse in judgement by AC. Inexplicable.
Sounds like we are dreadful. Lucky to score zero
