I’m genuinely tempted to wear shorts! Didn’t think it was that cold!

Home, away or 3rd kit?

Team news meltdown incoming

Yeah, got told he didn’t walk in

 

[Matt smith]

Fucking gutted and makes our life so much harder

 

[procdoc]

No Rudi then, fuck

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Really glad we signed zero new attackers in the summer! What fantastic squad planning!

 

[Nick]

Christ. Least we can go defensive from the bench

 

[Para1140]

Last week he went down right in front of us and was clearly struggling with his shoulder afterwards

 

[pusbccfc]

Congratulations to Birmingham for the three points.

 

[procdoc]

That bench isn’t going to change a game. Let’s hope the lads starting can do the business today

 

[Winny the Bish]

Bench watch:
1 GK
5 DEF
2 MID
1 ST

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

No rudoni ffs, why didn’t we buy a backup in the transfer window?

 

[Para1140]

Emc ?

 

[Matt smith]

Birmingham to win

away banker

 

[procdoc]

Chris, Cally Fedora etc will be along in a minute to say we had a great window

 

[Evo1883]

Rudoni and EMC out , I imagine torp will fill in rudonis roll and I expect him to do a good job

 

[Matt smith]

Is it his shoulder?

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Mason Clarke Wright Sakamoto have such great injury records it isn't a concern

 

[Para1140]

Shows the total lack of quality depth we have

 

[Evo1883]

Cant see it being anything else tbh

 

[theferret]

Oh dear.

Dean Austin superb as always

Yeah he is a good 10. Eccles is a good player as well.

Still prefer rudi in the team but it's a good team.

I think Eccles is a good championship player and torp will do a job for rudoni

Could be couple of months but appreciate that’s just me fearing the worst

Not much on the bench

Yep, let's hope we don't need them.

The Raphael loan just looks silly.

5 mins of him off the bench is better than having 5 fucking defenders on the bench.

 

[skybluecam]

Based on what exactly

 

[Great_Expectations]

Team is a fair bit weaker, big hole in the creativity front but still strong enough.

If Simms doesn’t get at least 30 mins today he might as well retire.

 

[jordan210]

Loaning Raphael and selling sheaf seams a bit stupid

 

[Dhinsa's_Millions]

You'd have thought he would have had an op on that shoulder if it's a recurrence....could be a long layoff.

 

[Evo1883]

We will have injuries we cant have a meltdown every time , just get on with it

 

[gspotgaz]

It’s going to be a slog getting to January with virtually no backup attacking players. Actually gets stranger the more you think about it

 

[procdoc]

Yep, let's hope we don't need them.

We will be ok if we need to defend a narrow lead at least!
