[QUOTE="Crash Hamster, post: 1027486, member: 84693"] I was being sarcastic, hence the /s... but alarmingly, the more I think about it, the more likely I feel it is. Presumably when EJ selected his squad, he had anticipated the prospect that an OC might get injured and had selected Lawrence and/or Odogwu as cover. Bringing Marchant, decent though his form has been, into the team would be an utter slap in the face for both Lawrence and Odogwu. It would also be a slap in the face for Simmonds, Simmonds and Smith, for example; it would demonstrate that it is possible to get a game for England on current form from outside the 28 man squad, thus suggesting that SS, JS and MS aren't in good enough form to be selected. I'm aware I'm criticising something which hasn't happened yet, but unless Odogwu or Lawrence get the jersey, either the initial squad selection was wrong or EJ's man management was wrong. [/QUOTE]
