BTA, arguably one of our most important players, has missed the last several matches and will be out till the end of Jan.

third loss of the season incoming. No chance with that defence.

All I want from latibeaudiere today is for him to not embarrass us. I don’t have much confidence unfortunately

Lampard could have changed the formation to a back 3 or given Perry the nod but has chosen to go with Lati, he must be showing enough in training to get the start.

Maybe Eccles will play in defence and Lati may play in midfield as he’s done for Jamaica. Who knows. Wish Will Still was still in charge for them.

Well I’m expecting the worst and hoping for the best. A free hit bearing in mind the team that is available to us.

Lati has played a hundred games at this level, Woolfenden has come in for £4/5m and has got promoted out this division. People talking like we’ve got a goalie and a 16 year old playing at centre half.

Talking about 16 year olds, maybe Shepard will come on and score. You never know.

I think the bigger issue is the fact they haven’t really played alongside each other yet.

Hopefully both will do a job.

I like the positivity. They’re two established championship CBs albeit rusty, My concern is how many others are maybe struggling with the flu/bug.

If fully fit, that midfield and forward line has got goals in it so just hoping we’re back to our clinical best going forwards

I worry about Lati when being pressed in possession and his lack of match practice. I think he's totally fine as a championship centre half.
Hopefully though, both he and Wolf try and maximise the opportunity that they've been given.

Still a strong side.
Get the first 3 goals and we'll be fine.

Yeah I think his main weakness is being put under pressure with the ball at his feet.

In theory, he should be able to find early passes to Grimes and Wolf so hopefully not too much of a problem.

He’s a brave lad so if we have to defend the box I think he’ll do okay in that situation.

I hope Thomas and Kitching are well enough to travel to Portman Road today, to breathe over the Ipswich squad

Seems a little drastic at the back, but neds must. This game before a Xmas period is the one we can let go so save Thomas, Kitch and Saka for then, let them recover. Eccles job is to help shore up midfield release Rudoni to do his thing and if we attack well there is some hope there. At least don't lose badly.

Was wondering the same. Never seen such a sickness bug hit us in prior seasons. It's really rampant. Have other teams been hit as bad as we have by this? Does anybody know? Looks like Soton will be near full strength. I fear a mauling. Would be very happy with a point.

Think Sheff U have been hit with it. Could do with it going through every other club in the league as well
