Are They Serious?

[lionheart]

Tel Ben Haim gives away a penalty for the reserves and our Official Site correspondence reckons he could challenge for a starting place next week. Are they serious? Please no...

David Ball's opener wasn't enough to help City's Barclays Premier Reserve League North side overcome Wigan and go top of the table tonight as they went down 2-1 at Robin Park.
In a poor game played in poor conditions, City took the lead just on the hour mark as Ball pounced from close range, but a debatable Tomasz Cywka penalty 15 minutes from time levelled it up after the referee decided the Pole had been felled by Tal Ben-Haim.

As for Joe Holt's winner on 82 minutes, Academy keeper Joe Clegg who played well all night, could do nothing about the fine curler from the edge of the box.

So despite a disappointing night for the Blues, Tal Ben-Haim pressed his claims to replace the suspended Richard Dunne for the up and coming first team matches the skipper will miss, as he came through the 90 minutes without any problems.

City:
Clegg, Obeng, McGivern, Kay (Tsiaklis 77), McDonald, Ben Haim, McDermott, Marshall, Ball, Daly, Moore (Trippier 77).

I was at the Reserves last night and Ben Haim was shocking!!
surely if he was inline for a start next week then wouldn't he be in Teneriffe??

This shows we mean business when we're willing to spend 6m on a defender for our reserves

Very true and while the 1st team are off in Spain, if your playing on a cold winters night in Wigan your not even close to the 1st team!

Surely if you're trying to shift a player you would say he had a cracking game in his last match.

Lets hope no one sent a scout to check him out or we'll be stuck with him for much longer than we want.

I think he will be in the squad unless we sign someone

Tal Ben-Haim was suppost to have been shocking last night didnt even look like a 2nd division player and cost them the game

lol, you all worry too much, we will get more for him as a first team squad member than a reserve.
we just want rid for what we paid.
