In the HDM - could be back by the end of April.

be good to get players of his quality in the 21`'s

Yea just came across that excellent news. Good to see the coach having a selection worrie.

I spoke to someone as regards to the u21's this year... we should have a pretty strong u21's side if all our first team players become fit.. would make some very interesting u21 games down at Ionians

How many over 21's are you allowed to select to player for the reserves? Around 2?

didnt know there was a restriction

Don't think there is because Rovers had 40 year old Gene, Aizue and Mills in there reserve team this week.

Always thought there was? Thought you could only play around 2-3 older players.


Nevermind, clearly wrong then!

I think there is a restriction or there definitly was, may have been lifted.

Knew I was right!

did they change the name from u21 to reserves or other way round?

Don't have a clue I call them either really, there the reserves for the first team so that's why I just said reserves...

me too, i jst remembered they'd changed the name so they could change the restrictions. i think!

And out again 2 weeks later with his injury record.

You're getting your Gareth's mixed up.

Difference being we dont need to rush him back this time.

hardly someone you'd call injury prone

Aye, I said that a while back. Thats where we have gone wrong in the past, rushing people back into the line up when we didn't need to.

Suprising that as he seems to pick up injurys a lot i thought......still he has to earn his place and i arent fussed about him tbh.

What the appearances stat doesnt tell us is the number of games he also played on one leg or limping.

like to see raynor back but it will be a fight for a place in the team for him the wingers are playing some good stuff especially briscoe

Of course he has,the guy has no class at all.........

I think what he means is why worry about Raynor at the minute and what he will do when he gets back in the team, while we have two wingers who are doing fine. They are the two who we should be thinking about at the moment.

Should walk back in

Would give him a game in the reserves first. Get abit of match fitness first!
