They can. Though our press officer doesn't normally pretend he's busy with a player who isn't actually there. Post today's beach shot and I'll get back to the club and ask them why they signed a player last week and picked a random day this week to announce it.
If we need to defend for the last fifteen minutes we can play this back 5 (plus rest of the team) McGregor Rosenior Chester Davies Figueroa Dudgeon Elmo Meyler Quinn Brady Austin
