AFC Bournemouth v Crystal Palace

back of fag packet calculations: back five average age of 21.6 years o_O
 
Corey Jordan could have been named. Seems daft just to name six, like you say, stick a kid on the bench and make his day.

Howe often talked about refusing to just name someone for the sake of it. It had to be earned. Yes it was also during the transfer embargo and naming just 3 subs was more of a statement to the Football League, but it still made sense.

Jason Tindall is his own man.
 
What’s happened to Kyle Taylor as well? Seemed like he was on his way to the first team, assigned a proper squad number way before any of these. Development stalling?
 
Are we playing Ofoborh as part of a back 3...? Isn't he a central midfield...?

What happened to round pegs in round holes...?
I thought Bale was a LB. Why were Spurs and Real playing him as a forward all this time?

OK an exaggerated point but it’s a meaningless cup game. We are also strong in midfield and trying to sign a CB. Seems a no brainier to experiment?
