Nicklas in the 19 and will replace Seymour with Houghton playing the full 80 I reckon.

Why does it? Nicklas played 7 against Bradford for his second spell, Horne stayed at 6. I'm not saying it's what I'd do, but I do think we might see it if the game goes ahead.

Well, which ever way round they play, neither are blessed with brilliant kicking games. Ellis is, that's why I'd play him.

Not seen him first hand, but from what I hear about his kicking game, I'd agree. I just think that if it's true about Seymour and he was a doubt from the off, there must be a reason why Nicklas was included and Ellis was not. It would have been better to name both.

Maybe Nicklas is more ahead of Ellis in terms of fitness and gametime.

do you think surgeons dont work weekends ??

Load of tosh, he's fine and starting

Emergency surgery is certainly done at a weekend. I'm not a surgeon, but I've never heard of anyone having a 'minor knee op' on a weekend.

although some NHS work, even minor, is done at the weekend - surely this would be done privately (and that is certainly done at the weekend)?

My wife went for a knee clean out on a Saturday that was classed as minor op

If you're willing to pay enough, you could probably have an op on Christmas day!

Was told on friday that seymour had gone back or was going back to oz on compassionate leave, wonder if this has anything to do with his absence?

nothing at all, he has a minor clear out in his knee and will be out for 2-3 weeks after successful surgery

Interesting chap, you. Had fun this week?

Rovers sign up Welham on a long term deal - no comment
Rovers build up to and play their first game of the campaign - no comment
Rovers chairman discusses ground development crisis with veiled threats of walking away altogether - no comment
FC's scrum half has minor knee surgery and you're on here like a rat up a drainpipe.

It's almost as if you have multiple accounts.

To be fair he has spent the last 6 days looking for a missing 21 year old bloke

Oops - apologies willowred.

Well, either way, willowreds info is way off.

Maybe we should change the number to 6A.

Seymour Starting, After reading through the posts and also looking at fc site i don't think anything wrong

Good effort in this weather.

Had a feeling this would happen, when I posted earlier in the week it was a case of risk him or not. Gutted.

is there more to it, I am told that FC are "refusing to comment""? (but that could just be Gollum up to his usual on Humberside)

no O'Carrol either?

Why should we tell Humberside anything the way they carry on.

I agree 100%, Gollum isn't capable of maintaining a facebook profile, let alone being a decent reporter.

I was interested to know if anyone else has any ideas what the issue is (are).

at least we wont get ripped to shreds by the pitch!

Picked up a knock in training i think and would sooner him get it over with now than half-way trough season....as for O'carroll,dont know what hes done.
