We’ve dealt with injuries all season, we’ll be fine,

Lads I have some terrible news tbh


Torp and EMC done for the season. Thomas deffo done for next couple, could also be the season


We're fucked

Oh, bugger. Losing Thomas would be a big blow for sure.

I think we can cope without Torp & EMC, possibly, but it does leave us short of numbers and also with options from off the bench.

Hope it doesn't bugger us up, but have a feeling it just might.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

not a great time to weaken the squad.
we need options off the bench, injury cover, and to be able to rest people.

did i say it was great?

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

I think there was a case for bringing Simms in tomorrow and moving Wright out left anyway. Although personally I would’ve persisted with EMC against the sides coming up. And a fully fit Sheaf starts over Torp. The massive blow is one of Binks or Lati for Thomas.

To be fair, at least Hull have only one lump (Crooks?) and they may not have selected him (until they heard Thomas was out!)

 

[pusbccfc]

EMC running across the pitch despite going off injured?

 

[Saddlebrains]

Errrr are you having us on here? Where has this come from?

I wish I was

 

[clint van damme]

Go 5-3-2. Binks and Lati in.
Grimes - Sheaf- Rudoni in the middle and Simms and Wright up top.

It's either that or Binks in a back 4 in front of Collins, fuck that.

 

[SBT]

If true it would mean EMC would miss nearly as many games as Sheaf through injury this season.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Go 5-3-2. Binks and Lati in.
Grimes - Sheaf- Rudoni in the middle and Simms and Wright up top.

It's either that or Binks in a back 4 in front of Collins, fuck that.

I'd rather only one of lati or binks has to play

For me I'd bring Lati in at RCB in a 4.

Grimes, Sheaf Rudoni
Saka Simms Haji

 

[TomRad85]

I wish I was

Shocking news, this club is fucking cursed.
Thomas biggest miss, our backup CBs are fucking shite and I won't have anyone tell me otherwise.

 

[quinn1971]

Wright/ Patterson on the left binks / Lati at the back, people were worried when Allen came in, became one of our best players,

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

In all seriousness, why do we keep leaking this info on here, and giving the opposition a heads up. I can't believe that opponents don't look for this stuff - you can then adjust your team accordingly. Why would we want to give them a heads up, just for the sake of saying 'hey lads, guess what' on a forum. Genuinely don't get it. Why (especially in our position) would you do it?

 

[SBT]

Pato LW?

I don't see how he gets to the required full match fitness by the end of the season

 

[Saddlebrains]

The thing is we've got no depth

The starting 11 bar Collins isnt that bad


Collins

MVE Lati Kitching Bidwell
Grimes Sheaf Rudoni
Tats Simms Wright

Issue is the bench now

Allen
Paterson
Dasilva
Bassette

The rest will be padding with youngsters at the moment

Don’t even know it’s true yet,

Like I say to you all the time

No opposition side looks at a forum of rambling sad bastards like us lot for any sort of tactical insight

It harms no one, stop worrying about it

How do you know your source isn’t having you on again

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Don’t even know it’s true yet,

Too often is - and if it is, more shame on him for posting it on here. If it's cost us a single point this season (can't be proved either way) then imagine what that could cost us. Can only be doing it for ego imo.

That’s normal at this level when you have this amount of injuries though. Imagine if we lost 5 first team regulars a couple of seasons ago.

Tactics - I agree. Players missing/injured, you have to be joking.

He never has me on on team news

 

[SBT]

If the starting XI still "isn't that bad" with six regular first-teamers out for the season then you pretty clearly have decent depth.

Exactly, remember when bannan was def out for the season

BTA and Eccles are supposedly back next week.

Still significantly stronger than the bench in the Play Off season and in the FA Cup semi last year.

Ok il rephrase it

Who do we have that can change a game off the bench with these injuries at the moment?

Why Bidwell and not Dasilva? He has proved to be a better option lately surely.

have faith, we’ve got the Lampard effect, look what he’s done with EMC thomas and kitching, everyones improved remember EMC was brought in as cover for wright on the left, got plenty of options still, only worry is Thomas, further weakens an already iffy defence , but gives players a chance to step up,

 

[SBT]

Our bench was crap the last time we made the playoffs too

I know your thing is to constantly run around and claim the sky is falling in, but of the players you claim to be injured, only Thomas would make the first XI substantially weaker by his absence

 

[mmttww]

I guess we'll find out. Paterson did ok the other night. Bassette will get minutes. Raphael time, maybe?

 

[TomRad85]

I'm not sure I can cope with Latibeaudiere back in the team.

 

[quinn1971]

You can’t ask @Saddlebrains for team news every game then complain when he gives it you, if It’s true we just get on with it, we‘ll be fine

 

[quinn1971]

Exactly, gives players a chance to step up,

 

[SleepyGinger]

Back to a back 5?

Collins
Lati Binks Kitching
MVE Sheaf Allen Rudoni Dasilva
Wright Simms

Go quite direct hence no Grimes.

Last time we played that back 3 was Bristol city at home and Blackburn away. Back to back wins and clean sheets.

 

[Ricketts]

Probably Frank trying to find the mole. Others have been told Tats is out, and others Wright is out.
Saddles days are numbered
