No mention of a fitness test for Dabo. Looks like Eccles has just been selected over him

Or he is injured and we don't have anyone else/want the opposition to know.

Walker makes the bench as well, but no Waghorn. The new LB and Kane nowhere to be seen.

Note, the text said COH had a 'hamstring tweak'. Doesn't sound that serious. I'm certain he's being sold and we are just protecting an asset.

Where's Waghorn? Has he been bombed off?

What about the lad from Palace?

I would think Adamarola hasn’t had time enough training with the team yet to put him straight in?

Re Waghorn maybe he just sees Walker more in form….or perhaps he’s being moved on

Guess it's now confirmed COH won't play which is a blow, but not having COH in the lineup will show whether the rest of the team can pick up the pieces and play without him. Think he only missed the loss vs Swansea last season where we were abysmal. Really hope for a better showing today. If we end up selling COH, we have to learn how to play without him anyway. So maybe this is a challenge that could end up being a blessing or curse depending on how you perceive it. If he does end up being sold, this "injury" could be a cover-up for the move. In that case, hope our recruitment team is working overtime to draft replacements in.

Hoping Eccles will surprise a few today, he’s going to be a great player if he can stay injury free.

Two up top is good to see aswell.

Not buying the whole O’Hare hamstring “tweak”. He’s either done his hamstring properly which is unbelievable considering he barely ever gets injured , or he is off to Burnley.

But we can only support the boys on the pitch , so come on lads!!
