Armstrong out of Burton game (5 Viewers)

[SlowerThanPlatt]

He has been called up to England U19s. What was always going to be a hard trip to an inform Burton is made even harder!

Booooooo!!

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

And Boothroyd is the man who called him up! Still damaging the club 5 years later

 

[runner]

Now Maddison's injured ... we are in trouble enough without losing our second best player too ... don't get much luck do we ! ;o)

 

[FRY-CCFC]

We're going down.

Fuck Boothroyd, Fuck SISU. Fuck you all. boo boo boo boo.

 

[tom88]

I want a refund on my season ticket - all sisus fault

 

[skybluesam66]

1 more and the game may be postponed as Thomas has a Wales call up (cian harries is on standby for wales also)

 

[Cranfield Sky Blue]

Mowbray Out!!

Don't play him if he is going to play well FFS...

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Hopefully he'll get injured against Southend and be out for a few months - that'll mess up Boothroyd's plans!

 

[covcity4life]

big blow but screw it. go with tudgay or new signing and show we are not a 1(or 2) man team

It's a televised game - no way will they cancel it

 

[ajsccfc]

We're too big for Burton anyway so we should just turn up and watch them hand over the points to a MASSIVE CLUB. #LeagueOneTour2012 #illuminati #onionrings

I'm all for people representing their country, but surely England's baby squad can't take priority over a Football League match?! Can't we pull him out?

Might be a condition

Benin have a game on 3rd September, is Reda going to miss any City matches?

 

[skybluebeduff]

Let's hope that trialist who scored, steps up enough to earn a contract.

If he's called up then yes.

 

[ccfc92]

Big blow this :/

 

[scouseskyblue]

Surely Tudgay should play as the supposed senior striker. I would have thought that part of the deal to bring Armstrong here would be that his England education continues, he has led the line at all age groups after all. If we are winning well against Southend, I'd take Armstrong off after 60 and give Tudgay some much needed competitive game time.

 

[Ashdown]

When you are lower League scrotes like us and don't own our players then we are at the mercy of all sorts of conditions and call ups over a season.

It would be the same if we owned him to be fair.

Bit of a blow this but hopefully we'll cope.

 

[skybluesam66]

makes the southend game even more important

If Maddison had been fit he would have been called up as well methinks!

 

[Hobo]

When you have Internationals this happens, it effects lots of teams. What is wrong with playing Tudgay? It will be good for him to have a game and keep match fit.

 

[We'll_live_and_die]

I just can't believe SISU have made Boothroyd pick him, bloody SISU. They would've had him pick all the English lads in our team if they had a choice. BLOODY SISU!!!!

 

[CCFC_Charlie]

We should demand that the game is called off. We've had three players called up which is the requirement for a postponement. Of course the game will go ahead because it's on TV and we'll probably lose but oh well.

 

[covcity4life]

facing all this on field adversity so early in season may be a good thing, imagine if we come out of next 2 games with 4 pts or more, the squad will be buzzing knowing that they can still win without maddison and armstrong(and maybe reda)

 

[st john]

Tudgay and Murphy up front in 442 will be strong enough.

 

[simonregis]

Morris is called up now, Do you think Boatride will call up Burge too?

 

[vow]

Big loss. Bollocks.

 

[Sick Boy]

Joy is taking the piss out of the fans even more. Not only did she move us 34 miles, now look what she has done. Why didn't we sign him rather than loaning him? Typical Sisu.

I'm off to watch The Wasps now.

He will need 5 times as many chances to score 1 goal sadly. Lacks pace and will make it all too easy for their defense to push up.

 

[wingy]

I guess It must be Jamie Claphams fault
Wasn't he working In the set up with these lads. ;-)

 

[Hobo]

Wasnt the case at Rochdale when he scored two very good goals, you must have missed it, it was a shame the linesman couldn't keep up with play.

Of course he has diferent attributes to Armstrong, but still a decent player to bring in. No two players are identical, you need to be less pessimistic.
