[Wycombe Royal]

No Shorey or Matejovsky in the starting XI or bench.

[brighton_royal]

Where's Shorey? Injured? Or just final confirmation he's off.

[Wycombe Royal]

No return for Sidwell either - ruled out with a calf strain.

[floyd__streete]

So. Farewell
Then
Nicky Shorey


Leaving us a whole 7 days to bring in a decent left back or else it is Stephen Hunt as the proverbial square peg in a round hole, a man who is to tackling what Harold Shipman is to bed side manner. Or else we have got Julian Kelly or an injured Scott Golbourne. Spiffing.

[Ian Royal]

Interesting Marek won't be involved... Precaution after his injury?

Does look rather like a Shorey departure is imminant.

[howser]

They are just hiding thier best players so any Forrest scouts wont get the jump on us !!!!

[PremAddict]

Any idea if the match will be online (radio or otherwise)?

[loyalroyal4life]

shorey is off. knew he would go could tell by what he said midweek. he just is not happy. its for the best anyway, just need to find a replacement

[howser]

At least if he is off it gives us plenty of time to get a replacement in !!

[Ian Royal]

Kebe starting brightly carving open a chance.

Any idea if the match will be online (radio or otherwise)?

Radio Berks online.

[Wycombe Royal]

The official site is just saying he is not included for todays match so that basically confirms that a move is being negotiated.

It also just says that Marek and Murty also miss out, but doesn't mention why, although we know Murty is injured.

[Ian Royal]

Hopefully Routledge will give Hunt an absolute roasting to add a little more encouragement to buying a new left back.

[Ian Royal]

Convey wins a penalty with a cracking run!

Hunt saved by Friedel, Lita can't put in the rebound.

Hmm we don't really have a decent penalty taker anymore.

[howser]

The decent penalty taker is on the bench, Noel Hunt very confident from the spot for Dundee United.

would be useful to have one who is likely to be first choice in his position though. He's got a little way to go to overtake Lita or Doyle.
