That's already been resolved, Raphael is his backup and Fabio has also played there for us. The fact Raphael has been injured is just one of those unfortunate things that has to be endured.
Worse than you hoped for but the chances of him being ready for the subs bench before early Jan were always slim in my opinion. I still hope Wilson will be available for at least the bench for the Sheff Weds cup tie.
I think it will be Eccles, Bidwell and Simms to start replacing Torp, DaSilva and Bassette, otherwise same.
Though to tell you the truth I would like Lampard to pull a flanker out of the hat to confound the Pompey manager.
Looking at the Derby vs Portsmouth highlights they were terrible at defending versus wide players 2 of the goals they conceded were from the sort of runs into the box EMC makes.
