Chill out everyone. MR is a magic man. Next season we will improve, and injuries happen to all teams. If Sheaf is out, someone else will step up to the plate. FWIW, I thought we'd lose tonight, then beat Cardiff. Still feel the same, regardless of who's in or out. Will be cheering us on...
Ayari, Kelly, O'Hare, Allen, Palmer, Eccles, Latibeaudiere (if needed), Sakamoto
How many do we need ? If O'Hare and Allen are back shortly, we don't really need more players in that area.
Edit: and of course Sheaf would be a huge loss.
If we were in the Pl, this sort of thing would be worse - although the new TV 'deal' may mean the Championship becomes as bad as the PL at some point. At least in the PL clubs get serious ££££s for the hassle.
I don't mind if there is a Rasford type player who can run into the space with pace, otherwise its frustrating to see the midfield so clogged with the 2 defensive midfielders as well.
Kane - great player, but dare somebody ask him to play centre forward instead of centre circle (although he set up Walker's goal from there v Ukraine) Maddison and Bellingham were regularly 10 plus yards ahead of him when we were attacking on Saturday.
Has Kitching recovered then trained fully following his groin issue? If not, Binks may fill that position - also, wasn't Da Silva injured against Watford, so Bidwell may come in?
Was with someone who said Haji Wright was away with the USA squad, but I hadn't read about that on here, and he wasn't named (in team or on bench) for their game the other day, so I'm guessing that he's wrong?
My sympathy is for the individuals who are having to endure the war. I have little allegiance/knowledge of the Moroccan nation (Chippo, Hadj aside!) yet i can empathise with the suffering that families are going through. Nothing against the Russian people - know a lovely Russian family. End of...
