seems a little odd that colgan is injured at the same time. Colgan is injured and Johnson doesnt need to play reserve football to be fit
Mithinks theres summat 'fishy' Was Muller injured, cos he did'nt look injured, or had he had a 'fall out' Davey was on the pitch when Letheren came on and why was'nt Muller back on the bench for the second half to give support. ?
Letheren was on the bench As Davey knew that Muller might not last. OR Wanted to give Letheren a game, but cup tie Muller at the same time?
Our thoughts on that At the start of the game I said that, given the rumours, it was good that Muller was playing. However I did comment about the fact we'd named a sub goalie which he hadn't done recently. The he subs Muller at half time, so we wondered if he wanted to give Letheran a run out but knew that if he left Muller out it would fuel speculation that he was leaving. Or knew that Muller might not see out the game. If it was just to give Letheran a run out then that is a bit of a waste of a substitution
Davy said in his post match interview that Muller was injured. He said it was affecting his kicking, which was a bit dodgy to Day.
He must have been carrying that injury for a while. It has moved from his shoulders, cos he cant punch the ball either. </p> </p> </p> </p> (wicked) </p>
Why? Surely if you are taking a match seriously you should have back up on the bench. In a league match you could probably cope if anything happens for the rest of the match but for a cup match you need cover as the money you could lose by having no cover is quite a lot for a team like Barnsley (and many others) If Heinz was injured but wanted to see if he could play on then it made sense to have a goalkeeper as a sub . Personally I would prefer to see a GK on the bench for every match, just in case.
