Any positive result tonight will be a miracle. Pray it happens.

He mustn't think Laurent is remotely fit?
Only explanation for Smallbone's retention - and there's literally no other midfielders fit.
Even the young 18yo we got from Rochdale in the summer, Kershaw, is on the bench

He is basically picking the 11 fit players at this stage isn't he?
Massive hangover from the previously poor fitness regime, hard to fix during a busy season, difficult to see us bringing any consistency until after the world cup.

There's just no end in sight is there?
Tymon, Powell and Laurent have all come back from injury under this manager and all disappeared again.
I'd take staying up at the minute, we're a shit show.

A very worrying looking midfield, but looking at the bench do we have much option?

Young lad we picked up from Rochdale, 18 year old. Plays as a holding midfielder

The injury crisis is and has been quite ridiculous.

If it is 343 then the central midfield is frightening. We will be so open & easy to run through.

That midfield could get run ragged tonight.

He joined from Rochdale at the same time as the lad from Chelsea [Andersen] and some other youth. They were all pictured together in the Sentinel. Not helpful buts that all I know!

That CM will get destroyed. Smallbone is the least physical player i’ve ever seen. He’ll get bullied. Is Laurent injured again already?

The injuries are becoming a real serious cause for concern especially those that come back then promptly disappear again.
Is it just bad luck or is there something we aren't doing right ? Bit of both ?
Fuck knows !

Our injury record is beyond a joke. That midfield is horrible.
Do we know how long Tymon and Brown are out for? When's big Harry back? What the hell has happened to Powell again?

Baker will be made to look bad as the centre of the pitch will be like a sieve as Smallbone can’t tackle, pass, read the game or shoot and they shouldn’t have much trouble attacking down the wings with the out of position players, especially down our left.

FML that midfield is non existent I would have been tempted to play Wilmot as a holding midfielder rather than playing smallbone in midfield again. The guy offers nothing physically. No tracking back, no tackling just fancy flicks that give possession away.....This could be a criket score
