I wasn't far off with my estimate for the team. No place in the squad for Hall, surely that means that McDermott doesn't think he has a place in the team going forwards? Little bit surprised to see Pearce at CB again over Peltier (who I assume is fully fit now). Maybe he wants to have more of a look at Pearce in match situations
Pelts must be fit to be on the bench. Support McDermott needs to find out whether Pearce has a future.
True, true. Ashdown out with a foot injury so that's why Cairns is on the bench, and apparently is expected to be next week as well. Think we might see White on as a LM at some point looking at the subs make up as well.
Yeah pretty telling sign that we won't be seeing much of him again! Think Kissa is going to have change his name again
Just seen a tweet that said "Hope kenny gets injured so cairns can have a go #LUFC" Bates was right about at least some of our fans being complete morons...
Also news coming through now that Austin may have injured a defender in the warm-up. Pelts has just come on and joined in... Edit: Hall also on the field warming up now too. Maybe replacing Pelts on the bench? Edit again: Byram just left the field back down the tunnel. Looked injured.
All of the above confirmed (except that it was Austin who caused injury, that was eyewitness based). Byram injured in warm up, Pelts takes his place, and Hall steps up to the bench.
