I thought all reserve games were technically non-competitive, league or cup, so I assume he can play(though I'm guessing).
Buckingham has just tweeted that Basso, Olofinjana, Cairney, Garcia, McShane, Dudgeon and Brady are playing tonight, no mention of Cooper, so I assume he's not eligible after all.
ok no cooper then, shame. but i shall go for the double pies with mushies and no chips option pre-match instead.
