DAILY WRAP: 2/16/2016 - Bench Press

Not a whole lot of games today, and all but 1 of our US players were bench-bound. I was not even going to bother to wrap, but Matt Miazga is such an important story..so here goes

Blackburn played Fulham today - Adam Henley was in the 18, did not play, for Blackburn. Tim Ream and Eric Hyndman were both in the 18 for Fulham, Tim Ream came off the bench at the 57th minute, Eric did not play Final: Blackburn 3 - 0 Fulham

Gboly Ariyibi, started and played 90 for England League One Chesterfield as they visited bottom placed Colchester. Chesterfield hampered their chances with a first half red card and a 2nd half missed penalty. A promising season has now turned into a relegation battle, with only 1 point from their last 5 games. Final: Colchester 1 - 1 Chesterfield

The big news of the day was Matt Miazga inclusion in the 18 for Chelsea at PSG in their Champions League first leg match-up. Matt stayed on the bench, but this is significant for Matt and an opportunity to gain regular play. Final:  PSG 2 - 1 Chelsea

In Scotland, Gedion Zelalem saw Rangers win their away game over Kilmarnock 1 - 2 in the Scottish FA Cup, from the bench!
IMHO, it begs the question why did Rangers extend Gedion's loan contract? He has played less since signing than before!
