Odowda came in after a few minutes due to injury but he has played left sided defender on a number of times in the past at this level. That is hardly a ‘scratch team’ is it ? To assist the online definition of ‘scratch team’ is - ‘A scratch team is a team, usually in sport, brought together on a temporary basis, composed of players who normally play for different sides. A game played between two scratch teams may be called a scratch match.’ Thought with all your extensive football knowledge you would have realised all that.
I was thinking more "starting from scratch"....which all team selections have been this season given our recent number of signings. That said....something of a scratch team at the end. No idea what formation we were playing in rhe last 10 minutes as it all got a bit hectic. Good to see us leave one up front when defending a corner. A well-earned point. So close to three.
