Ndaba, Mizouni, Dobra, McGavin on 12:09 - Aug 29 with 2143 views | DublinBlue84 | Or it could be that they are involved because of the uproar that happened and a manager changed his mind, which of course, it is his prerogative to do. |  |

Ndaba, Mizouni, Dobra, McGavin on 12:11 - Aug 29 with 2116 views | Herbivore | I think people were more bothered about the young players being excluded from the first-team team photo at short notice than they were about a couple of preseason friendlies. |  |

Of course. Because Lambert has become famous throughout his time here for buckling to fan pressure. FA regulations stipulated a maximum of 30 at the photoshoot, so it stands to reason that it would only be the key staff members and the 24 most senior pros. Kinda how football works re: seniority. |  |

Ndaba, Mizouni, Dobra, McGavin on 12:12 - Aug 29 with 2094 views | unstableblue | Could well be!! Also think that this selection is protecting knocks, and getting some returning from injury players some much needed game time. I expect and think it correct that Lambert will use the cup games as near full strength pre-season games. So expect today to be very much a final look at players. Quick question are mcgavin and ndaba able to make the playing squad for this season? Or is it already full?? |  |

Ndaba, Mizouni, Dobra, McGavin on 12:14 - Aug 29 with 2058 views | Bluefish | The photo shoot wasn't just the NHS photo, it will individual dead pics to be used for the season. PRP clearly didn't think they deserved the pics and didn't think they would be needed. The fact they are involved today speaks of the utter madness and mess of his reign |  |

They count as under 21s so don't count towards the squad cap. |  |

What short notice? Also do you really think Lambert is so incompetent that he wouldn’t have been quite clear with the players on the reasoning?! He’s not Hurst! Paul seems to be technically cr@p but think this is a storm in a tea cup |  |

Yes, I think he's that incompetent. |  |

Ndaba, Mizouni, Dobra, McGavin on 12:22 - Aug 29 with 1981 views | Sm00411 | The fact that KVY, Chambers, Skuse, Ward, Downes, Bish, Dozz, Sears, Jackson aren't involved suggests this team is more of a "shop window" team and Lambert is desperately trying to drum up some interest in some of these players to trim the squad. I wouldn't say it's a great achievement that they're involved. Drinan doesn't need to be involved because Ayr United are happy to take him back. |  | |  |

The players concerned were also told that they were not going to have their photos taken individually by the photographer, not just in the group. As far as I'm aware there is no regulation on the number of players a photographer is allowed to photograph alone per day. [Post edited 29 Aug 2020 12:25]

Hurst actually explained his reasoning and I suspect many agreed with him at the time. |  | |  |

Even Stuart Watson is being clear on the logic of the selection: Read his full set of replies |  |

Yes, I was going to say that perhaps his camera was short of film. |  | |  |

Oh dear, there are 33 in the photo. Is that a points deduction? I'm curious to know who the nine coaching staff in the photo are. |  | |  |
