Post by: H4usuallysitting on January 04, 2016, 11:42:16 AM
selection was made on Saturday - is this the Joka way, or did we have injury issues??

Probably a ploy not to let the opposition know your team too far in advance

I was told that Cairney failed a fitness test, not sure if thats why or not.

We have to submit an hour before kcik off as I understand, so not sure it was much different to normal

Like MJG I heard that TC failed a fitness test so that may have meant we gave it to the ref later than, i.e. usual and closer to the deadline than usual.

thats the same at Southend when I go there, think most grounds announce over the PA system around 15 minutes or so before the game, don't they?

I have always assumed that it is done around that time as then most people are inside the stadium

Team is handed into officially an hour before, that's why Fulham and all teams tend to tweet it out 60 mins before.
I suspect they don't actually put it on the tannoy until later as lets be honest CC is very empty up till 30 minutes before the game anyway. If you are on twitter contact Ivan Berry the matchday announcer and he may be able to answer you.

I usually see the team sheet outside the Coral betting booth, but it wasn't there - so I couldn't bet
