Reg: Only minor concern but not considered fit enough to risk last night.
Sess: Fingers crossed.
I won't believe either until I see them kick a ball though...... These niggles are constant atm and seem to be effecting half the squad. Ffs!
Apparently he was injured last night, hence his non-appearance. Agree he should start, if fit.
Didn’t we try that against Colchester with very predictable results?
Don’t let Sessegnon cross his fingers FFS or he’ll break them.
So extra time and penalties then.
That's real funny
Please stop following me.
I hoped it would be straight to pens to lessen the punishment, but no it’s ET first. Is there no end to our misery?
More our level of opposition than the chavs
I love visiting TFC after a win or a loss.
A win and it's all "we're getting top 4, we're back, Conte is going to win us trophies"
A loss to a far superior team, arguably the best squad in the league and it's "Morecambe are more our level, lucky to get a 1-0 here, we'll scrap it"
Never change gang, never change.

Our u23's played their last game on 4th December, a month or so ago.
However yesterday u23 side beat Crawley in a friendly - only players mentioned are Markanday and Clarke, good to see the former back after a covid break.

If Conte is ever going to play some youngsters then Morecambe is the match - likely players might include Kion Etete (striker recalled from L2 Northampton where he did well), Dilan Markanday (winger top scorer for u23'a so far this season), Harvey White (DM.CM 2nd highest scorer/assist maker for u23's and previous L1 experience in 20/21), Jack Clarke (winger), Dane Scarlett (if fit from covid - not been seen for a while) and a range of other players.
Maybe include say 4 - 6 of them in the squad ?

Tottenham Hotspur beat Crawley Town in behind-closed-doors friendly
Crawley Town were beaten 2-1 at home by a young Tottenham Hotspur XI in a behind-closed-doors friendly at The People's Pension Stadium earlier today (Wednesday).www.wscountytimes.co.uk

Sammy knows more than Conte apparently, so I vote we play whoever Sammy wants to play, in the formation of his choice.
Can't go wrong.

Never wanted to put someone on ignore, but it's time. HahaahSammy knows more than Conte apparently, so I vote we play whoever Sammy wants to play, in the formation of his choice.

Think we have to play at least half a team of first teamers as I wouldn't trust our squad players to beat even Morecambe. I'm not even joking.
Our squad players already lost to the Slovenian washing machine company this season.

IMO some squad rotation over next couple of weeks is essential - midweek after Morecambe is the 2nd leg v Chelsea, followed by :
16/1: Woolwich (H)
19/1: Leicester City (A)
23/1: Chelsea (A)
So a run of 4 games every 3 - 4 days
Better play it safe and go with 2 DMs and 5 defenders
I mean, imagine changing formation
