Clarke should be preventing that. I am all for players representing their countries bur we pay his wages and we need him.

His goals have been crucial recently and would be a shame if he wasn't in the squad on Saturday. If he does indeed miss out then at least Easter has made a timely return from injury.

"For this Saturday's game I've got five players out [Stuart Sinclair and Neal Trotman injured, Lee Mansell suspended and Jake Gosling and Ellis Harrison on International duty] so we are going to potentially be a bit short on Saturday but I've never worked with a big squad."
Looks like Harrison does indeed miss out.

I thought the Wales U21 game was Tuesday night, seems a bit unfair to take him so early when we have such a key match to play. Was there no compromise that could have been achieved? - e.g. he join the squad straight after our game, which is earlier than all others on Saturday.

Ridiculous. We pay his wages and this is one of the most crucial games of our season.

Absolutely ridiculous. That would never happen to a Prem team but we're fair game to be walked all over.

Looks like Harrison does indeed miss out. So really only Harrison an unexpected loss but we have Balanta & Blisset plus Lucas as cover. It's a bit irritating EH can't play but it's hardly the end of the world now Easter's finally fit. |

To be fair Harrison may not get many chances to play international football during his career.

Maybe Wales can give him a full 90minutes.

Only needed one more international call-up and we could have got the match postponed...obviously we wouldn't have even considered this anyway cos of the TV money, so let's be happy for him and hope the rest of the squad rise to the occasion...

its just the rules,,nothing rovers can do,,i think the same thing used to happen with our latvian whose name i cant spell,,,its something like if you have 3 players selected for international duty the game is posponed but just one and it isnt.

Does that rule apply to Conference matches? If it did would we even want to cancel a Saturday game to play mid week anyway? As SteveK's mentions on another thread given Gosling was going to play so many international games his wasn't DC's best signing.
