Not often you get to chat to a Premiership ref!

Lee Probert is here and is refereeing. Nice chap!

 

[Nick]

Is he doing our game? Is he just on holiday or is there a ref training camp going on.

Club sorted transport for the two of us who needed it

Doyle, Willis, kelly and Jones hanging about taking pics with the fans. Coach load of cov fans just turned up, I assume that’s the organised trip lot

Wonder if they aren't playing? I know the last 3 are injured.

Team looks like

O’Brien (based on him being in GK shorts and Burge not)
Brown
Davies
Hyam
Westbrook
Allasani
Shipley
Ponticelli

And a few backs of players so once I’ve figured them out I’ll let you know

They weren’t even training, so I suspect they won’t be

Ah Doyle must be resting! Should give Sw88 a wave!

Maycock there too

 

[Nick]

Interesting that Hickman is starting.

From the names it looks like 3 at the back with Hickman and Brown as wingbacks.

Then Maycock, Ogogo and Westbrooke in the middle?

 

[ccfcway]

Rooney not playing for Everton

I know he’s left

 

[Nick]

Have had a look but can't find their squad anywhere.

Is Sambou playing? Is Southall in goal?

If Doyle is with the fans, tell him Unsworth wants a scrap.

Was hoping this lad would be in goal

 

[sw88]

Ponti played through, hits the post

Good chance

 

[sw88]

Brown looks to be playing as a wingback

Is Hickman like it on the other side? 3 in the middle?

Is Westbrooke then in front of Maycock / Ogogu?

Hickman eight wing back, Westbrook looked alongside Maycock until that chance when he got forward and won the corner

 

[Nick]

Where's Ogogo playing?

 

[sw88]

2-0

JCH header from a Ponti cross

Good pass forward from Hickman in the lead up

 

[sw88]

Dreadful backpass from a Davies, O’Brien has to clear last ditch, gets taken down in the process. Little contact but a fouls a foul

 

[sw88]

Hickman shot parried
