    We really should, but I doubt we will. Now we can all see just how good Bazunu is with his feet in comparison to our other keepers

    This is really bad news. Mccarthy can't play it out from the back

    Is the rule that if you make the change before th match from the bench you lose a sub? That is all I can think of

    That’s not going to happen, we’ll just have to watch McCarthy fanny about and scare the wotsit out of us

    Have the odds on us conceding a near post goal reduced?

    Not just that, but heing our cup keeper he has at least played a few times in the past year!

    I dont think there is much between them, but it is insane to not use your 2nd choice (assuming 1st is rested) keeper in the cup so they are sharp. I assumed Lumley was our 2nd choice based on that.

    On the positive side, McCarthy is a better shot stopper than Baz, so what we lose in controlling the ball we might gain in McCarthy stopping a shot or two.

    It will be ok. You don't pay someone shedloads of money if they aren't any good.....

    RM has to make a daft team selection as he hasn’t got Mara to bring on

    Will be interesting to see if our style changes and how we play in a different way.

    Maybe this confirms those rumours that McCarthy has some clause in his contract about number of games played = extra year added on to his deal. Maybe now we have so few games left he won’t hit that number so we would prefer to play him over Lumley.

    He was a solid enough PL keeper a few seasons ago, will be very rusty I’d imagine and obviously the playing out from the back will be hilarious. Just need to score more than them

    Why was Lumley on the bench though? McCarthy wasnt even listed in the squad and now he is starting <laugh>
