What will TP do? I hope he doesn't play Shotton wouldn't be able to bear it.

I fear that is the only option.
Either that or Upson goes to left back
I just pray he doesn't play Huth right back and put Upson at CB

It was a stupid decission to play wilko last night.
I'd prefer to play upson at LB rather than Shotton.

Surely we have to change the formation, 3-5-2 for a while until Wilko is back? Upson Huth and Ryan at the back. But that sounds terrible as well. What about Edu at lb? Or whitehead. I'd even chuck cameron there and put in Ben Glasgow than have shotton there.

I think if Our Tone was going to play Upson before Shotts, then he would have put Upson on last night, instead of Shotts.
There's an argument to say Shotts didn't close down the crosser for their goal quickly enough, but other than that he was decent. Certainly little wrong for Mr Consistancy to drop a player over. So - unless Edu* can play LB? - it looks like being Our Ryan for the next two or three.
Eventually the lack of proper fullbacks was going to bite us on the 'arris, looks like it might be now.
* I'm assuming Ness, whether or not he has a left foot, stands less chance of playing at LB than I do?!

Would love to see Ness given a chance - he had a few pre season games at LB and looked ok.
I just don't think Shotton is a premier league player however would love him to prove me wrong

Do we have a recall on Danny?

Irrlevant, he's NOT IN THE SQUAD
Think his loan expires in January and this would probably mean we don't need a replacement for Wilson.
Question - does the 25 man squad submitted on 31 August become obsolete on 1 January and therefore during Jan you can play anyone you want, or does it only become obsolete when you submit the new squad (on 31 Jan). What I'm thinking is can we recall Higgy and get him Stoke fit so he can play during January or do we have to wait until 31 Jan to name him in the squad so we have room for other signings?

Rushing injured players back into the team is another gripe I have with Pulis! Serves him right and the cover is fuckin abysmal!
3 centre backs sat???

On January 1st the Squad Registration window opens, which means it becomes like it did during August there is no formal squad registration at this time. This means new signings can play when they sign, players unregistered beforehand can play and then at the end of January we submit a new 25 man squad with no limits on the amount of changes there can be. |

Then surely it makes sense to add an extra full back to our squad and then renominate the 25.
Other additions? I think we need another attacker, especially if Pennant doesn't return.

So, so important that we sign a leftback in January. A proper one. Don't care about the price, just get one Tone

Think it will have to be Shotton filling in for the next few games. As long as he's told not to go forward too much and keep tight to his man then he should be ok.
His reputation seems to have taken a massive dent since the whole right wing "Bale" debacle last season, but previously he had looked pretty decent at right back. Managed to put Jarvis in his back pocket at Wolves after Woodgate had been embarrassed. Playing Upson at left back would just be another Woodgate disaster waiting to happen.

What is wrong with Wilko? Seemed to be clutching his lower back after every challenge last night before he went off. I suspect he has a high pain threshold so whatever it is must be very painful.
I thought Shotton did just fine in very difficult circumstances last night. And he gives us a 'Rory-lite' long throw option which does no harm.
