Ward won't want to risk getting injured, before the international break. Bowyer got him pulled out the Norn Iron squad last time - so that he could play for Charlton.
He'll be on a promise this time. Expect him to be hooked early.
I thought Ward took himself out of the team for the last International Break seeing that O'Neill didnt have a gripe about us when he then played against Stevenage
Ward said he was not fit enough and stayed with Charlton to get some game time
Bowyer said he got on the phone to the Norn Iron manager - and told him that Ward would be better off getting fitness and a match at Charlton than sitting on the bench for the international games.

Sweeney does well to clear a low ball into the area.

Benning finds Walker with a superb pass, yet the forward puts too much weight behind his cross and sees it go out for a throw-in.
Joking aside do the players get paid more if selected in the squad?

What a superb ball by Benning! His cross from a 40-yard free-kick narrowly evades several #Mansfield bodies lurking in the area.

Benning is fouled, giving #Mansfield a free-kick in a wide area.
There was an OS article about it at the time.

Welcome back, @billyclarke7! 🙌 #cafc
Edit: D’oh thought this was an anytime goalscorer. Not a hat trick.
