The 21 man squad is now shown on the club site.

Very early days yet, how about:-

Roby. Ince. Fleming. Edge. Dixon. Lyons. Gilmore.

Kirk. Fozard. Field, Lloyd (capt), Wilde. Gregson.

Subs - Roberts. Johnston. Wilson. Whitehead.

Maybe swop Walker instead of Johnston.

I would probably have Field on the bench and Harvey Wilson to start. 🥖🥖💪👍

Yeah definitely early days Sunny, and unfortunately players get injured and an opportunity arises to perform. Then up to them to keep a place. I like that Tom Whitehead and a shame Green is not in the squad too. We are virtually full strength without Langtree and Owens. I personally don't rate Owens anymore even at this level. 🥖👌

why put a centre on the bench and leave out a prop ?.

I honestly believe there should be a back on the bench, how many times have we had to play a second row in the centre due to injuries in the game, only to see him carved up

roberts for Fleming - no problem there 

think walker will start 

is it on radio Merseyside ?

@ditton-donkey We are lightweight enough without having a centre on the bench if this happens it shows how weak of a squad we have, No team would put a centre on the bench unless they did not have a reserve hooker.

@prisoner the point I am making is that the reliance on 4 forwards on the bench often comes unstuck - many times we have had to put a second row into the backs and from a set scrum they are on a one to one with a centre who cuts them in half

Doesn't make any sense how many teams do that none, unless they have massive injuries or a piss poor squad.

@ditton-donkey 

Prisoner's mind is fixed, made up, blinkered - no matter the logic of a back on the bench, he just won't accept it! 

Indeed, due to injuries didn't Roberts play once in the second row last season? Made a decent fist of it if I remember correctly.

We'll see the make up of the matchday squad soon.

Question,  Is this game being broadcast by anyone?

There are only 20 names in that 21 squad. Could be either an omission or no further fit players?

1 prop on the bench. Good to see we’ve addressed this area
