[James GNFC]

Gravesend v Halifax

 

Gravesend have received a triple boost as Charlie MacDonald, Manny Omoyinmi and Kim Grant have all recovered from injuries and will be available.

But Graham Porter (Achilles) is not yet ready for a comeback, and Steve McKimm has not returned to training after his cruciate ligament operation.

 

 

Halifax defender Greg Young is back after recovering from a dislocated shoulder but Matt Doughty is suspended.

 

Steve Bushell and Gary Brabin remain long-term injury absentees.

 

 

Good to see Kim Charlie and Manny are Fit.

If the BBC says it, it must be true.

They may well all be fit of course. Best to find out when you turn up at the ground though.

[Drummer Scott]

It would be good if they were all back. Gives our strike force a bit more of an option too.

I seriously doubt it...!

On the report of the game they reckon Skinner was taken down in the box for our penalty! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

They must have seen the number 3 only on Drury's shirt?

[Harry J Allstars]

Everyone was shouting Skinner to take the pen because it was his birthday.

And there was me thinking we were shouting for Skins as he is our usual and most reliable penalty taker.

 

Divided opinions over players fighting over who is taking the penalty. For me, its a team game and needs to be sorted out before the game.

It was funny though watching Manny and Drury literally fight over the ball!

It was like watching Rooney and Keane on opposing sides <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

The most ironic thing is that Skinner wasn't involved!

Jukebox's penalty record is pretty much as reliable as Skins' though, really.

You weren't at Shrewsbury then?

[Jimmy]

That one's still in the air.

Point taken - hence why I said 'pretty much'. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Jukebox did put away his other three league pens that season - but since Skins has scored more, he deserves the honour of regular spot-kick taker.
