Personally, I found that completely bewildering and professionally unacceptable from Cifuentes. Assuming Dembele, Fox and Kolli weren't all injured - though who knows these days when a reported blackhead could keep any one of our players out for weeks - if I were the board, I'd be having a word on Monday morning. That was a load of turd!

OK - perhaps I jumped the gun a bit! But these minor injuries and twinges are getting ridiculous, it seems to me. [Post edited 26 Oct 18:22]

Why wasn't Kolli on the bench ? He played in the week and scored didn't he ? [Post edited 26 Oct 19:49]

Just out of curiosity where do you get that conclusion from, reading that article? | | | |

And he would have been as effective as celar had he found himself on the pitch as well |  |

Interesting that Brighton had two keepers on the bench today as well with Jason Steele & Killian Cahill, the latter added to the subs when Dunk was injured in the warm up and one of the outfield substitutes started. This sounds like a similar scenario to the explanation Marti gave for us having two goalkeepers on the bench today. |  | | |

Sorry I don’t buy this
He states Dembele felt something (lack of backbone???) in training on Friday, as did Fox
They travelled and faced tests morning of game that ruled them out.
Then too late to fire someone up from London so two keepers appear on bench
I’m calling BS
If you know you’re carrying two potentially injured players in your travelling squad you surely add another outfielder to the travelling party? (Who I don’t know as Kolli sadly appears finished at this club)

I guess notions of chicanery and conspiracy are so much more seductive than the most obvious and likely but dull explanation. |  |

Like Clive I believe all is not well. Don’t seem right to me plenty of young u21s that could have travelled up with the usual suspects. | |

We're sitting bottom of the league. Of course things are not right behind the scenes.
I'd imagine it's pretty far from alright.
Novice manager and players in this league. They need to fix up sharpish.
We all want them to do well. I don't feel there's any snakes in this team, trying to rinse our club.
I reckon we'll get out of this. 0-0 at Burnley is not a bad result. |  |

I cannot disagree with this post.
It really is simple management of a situation. It's not rocket science.
All's not well. |  |

If you take 22 to an away game, including 3 keepers, then 2 of your outfield players drop out the morning of the game, you're a bit stuffed.
As Clive frequently stated, trying to get a DS player up to NW England in hours is a major logistical headache. |  |

I buy it. Don't think Marti is lying direct to supporters. I don't see he has any reason to on something like this either. That 1 player drops out the morning of an away game feeling sick or with a niggle is fairly usual, but 2 less so. | | | |

After initially being confused about the team news bench scenario, I put this on the match thread at 14.24 yesterday.
Perhaps, we have travelled north with 22 players, including three keepers. Dembele and Fox have dropped out through sickness or injury and we have put Shepherd on the bench, as there is a spare seat.
Didn't take long to rationalise the situation instead of losing it and going off on conspiracy theories. There may be problems at the club, as there is at most, but this isn't one of them.
The only alternative is to travel north with more players but you will increase costs and end up with more pi**ed off players travelling and not even making the bench. | | | |

This is such a great example of how flucked our world has become in recent years. There is a clear and obvious reason as to why this would happen at an away game up north but everyone jumps to the conspiracy conclusion. Whether it be Covid, Stolen elections, Trans people etc...

You’re missing the point
Two outfield players were already doubtful ahead of travelling
Sorry but if that me I’d be taking someone else to cover if I lose one of them between travelling and kick off
If nothing else it categorically confirms Kollies time with us is done and that really saddens me
I have no idea who that is down to but it’s a damn shame a great prospect won’t flourish with us and it’s yet another player we won’t see true value for when they leave | |

Perhaps we travelled on Friday morning & the injuries happened when we trained in the Burnley area? I've not seen anything to sugest anything happened prior to heading north.
I think the development tean played on Thursday & so they probably would not have been considered for travelling to Burnley.
If this is not the case, then we should certainly have taken at least one extra outfield player. | | | |

They woke up on Saturday worse than they were on Friday.
Anyway, does it really matter that much that we had to choose five from six, rather than five from seven and it seems as if it happens to others too.
Point is taken about Kolli. However, we don't know whether that is mainly down to him, Marti or Noury. | | | |

It seems that the specifics are missing. We don't know exactly when the tram travelled up, when players felt their injuries etc but despite this so many people prefer to start a potential conspiracy behind the scenes. According to some, our players are going down with the slightest knock and Martí is making a point. Everyone is entitled to their opinions of course, thats what makes forums so good but when people start dealing in absolutes when they don't really know what is going on says more about them that what is actually going on. The fact is, none of us actually know | | | |

I thought Martis explanation seemed fair enough
Kolli is obviously not in the picture at the moment but 2 keepers on the bench is not unusual anymore, Man City do it all the time |  | | |

On its own, nothing.
In the general picture of what's going on at the moment, a bit strange.
If you knew Fox and Dembele were struggling, you'd take Kolli along wouldn't you? If indeed the only reason he's not involved is because we've got loads and loads of better players ahead of him? |  | | |
| 2 keepers on bench today on 21:27 - Oct 27 with 3248 views | gazza1 |
Recon Koli is finished at Rangers for 'some' reason.....maybe his family or Koli himself are issues. You cannot have young boys misbehaving if that is the case. | | | |
| 2 keepers on bench today on 22:09 - Oct 27 with 3090 views | kensalriser |
Whatever the issue is with Kolli, it's clearly not a footballing one. | |
