is hopley available or is he on holiday?
Well he seems to have flown out to Vegas today if facebook is correct ! hopefully its a short trip and he is back for saturday ? if not think we need to bring some rules in to control this, we seems to have loads missing games on holidays shouldnt really be happening in footie season IMO.
If he’s flown to Vegas today I doubt he’ll be back for Sat, nobody goes to Sin City for 3 days.
Agree on this holiday business, although I there has to be some leeway if it’s a stag do, wedding etc
My wife to be wanted to get married on World Cup Final day in 1966.I pointed out that many men would not come, she said that didn’t matter, I then pointed out that I would be one of the ones not coming!! We got married the following Saturday!! I agree, players should not go on holiday during the season, they have three months at least in the summer to go away.
WHS.
Mmmm not sure about this as 1 - it might be a stag do/wedding or something similar and 2 - we should have sufficient back up in fringe players and the development squad. Clearly we have not.
Rob was my man of the match v Stalybridge on Saturday by a country mile but it was pointless him being up there on his own. If Tolani is not available Saturday I fear we will have big problems unless Carl has a magic trick up his sleeve.
Saturday sees Witton travel to Carlton Town in an Evo-Stik Division One South fixture. Witton will be looking to put their Emirates FA Cup disappointment behind them as they aim to continue their unbeaten start to the league season. Carlton are currently at the lower end of the table and have lost two of their three home league games so far but, will still provide a difficult test for Witton. Any result gained will have to be worked for. Kick off at The Bill Stokeld Stadium is 3pm.
