Bloody hell, who do you drop from that squad?

So thats more or less your strongest squad?

Nathan Brown is quoted in the Examiner earlier in the week saying Kev Brown will not play this weekend but that his ankle isn't as bad as first feared.

Aspers, Cudjoe, Lunt, Finnigan, Fatz, Lawrence are all maybes to be 18th man depending on what Brown is after IMO.

I'd drop that bag of 5hite that we have on loan from wakey for a start! I don't rate him one bit and would rather have crabtree, jackson, mason and griffin all play than him. And if brown is out then thats the 17 sorted.

You'd have been singing his praises if Robbo caught that offload last Sunday.
