Jores Okore

I suppose his position isn't like midfield or up front - you can't put him on for twenty minutes to feel his way back in.

[Toronto Villa]

once he gets in and starts to show all of the reasons we bought him, and proves he can stay fit, he'll be a regular in the side. He's still 22 and coming off a serious injury. It's good that he's desperate to play, but this is the PL where everything is that much faster and more aggressive. He'll get his opportunity.

U21 match at 13:00 - Behind closed doors. Maybe he's going to get a runout.

He is, along with Benteke and Grealish and Joe Cole.

And good that they've pointed it out.

Cheers Clampy, think I'll listen in on the game.

[Smirker]

Both he and Benteke are playing in the u21 match.

Is there any way to watch?

Not even a commentary on AVTV!
I thought, that's we pay our money for:-(

[Ger Regan]

No real point in having a behind closed doors game if you're going to broadcast it, is there?

[PaulWinch again]

Good hope he proves his fitness.

I think it's more about having nobody there (not being able to cope with a couple of hundred spectators) than any secrecy. In any case are there facilities for broadcasting from Bodymoor?

I think had we not played Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Man City on the bounce that he may have got a run out.

That said, I would throw him in against City, as I think we need his pace.

First goal against Arsenal doesn't ahppen if Okore and/or Vlaar are playing. Citeh are even quicker.

[GordonCowansisthegreatest]

All other reserve games have live commentary.

[Ger Regan]

Most reserve games aren't at BH though as far as I'm aware. Dave could well be right when it comes to commentator facilities.
