RE: Ritchie says "Despite scoring for the reserves on Wednesday, striker Daniel Nardiello will not be involved tomorrow. He will have at least one more game for the reserves before being in contention". </p> Barnsley (probable): Mannone, Austin, Hassell, Kay, Heckingbottom, Devaney, Togwell, Howard, McIndoe, Hayes, Richards, Letheren, Reid, Healy, Wright, Williams, Atkinson. Luton (probable): Beresford, Foley, Heikkinen, Barnett, Emanuel, Edwards, Robinson, Langley, Brkovic, Morgan, Vine, Parkin, Feeney, Keane, Holmes, Brill, Davis, Coyne.</p> From todays (Friday) Barnsley Star. </p>
why on earth would we want to do that? it beats me why anybody would EVER fail to include a substitute keeper, even if it's a spotty 16 year old youth with no experience whatsoever you have to have a backup goalie, as they have to be better than sticking an outfield player in goal. There is no constructive purpose to their omission, and any manager that can't cover his outfield requirements with 4 subs wants sacking on the spot (hear me Warnock?) Do you think we'd have lost 1-0 to Preston without Mannone as backup (and i know some smart arse is gonna say it'd have been 0-0!!). I don't...
In fairness to Warnock He's lucky in that he's got an outfield player who could make it as a professional goalkeeper and trains in the net occasionally to make sure that he is able if needed.</p>
