Surco72 added 14:34 - Oct 10 Surely a 45min run out for Williams and Bishop would make sense to get match fitness

Wallingford_Boy added 14:54 - Oct 10 Bish has been involved in every 1st team game this season bar one, so don't think he's lacking match fitness. But surprised Williams wasn't.

Surco72 added 15:14 - Oct 10 Bish hasn't played a 45 minutes for 1st team since August and MM keeps saying he is not match fit for a reason not to select him ? WIlliams needs as much game time as he can get to get up to speed , makes it easier for MM not to select either on Saturday I suppose
