I think we''ve got to eliminate the unselectables, and then just do the best we can with the rest.
At the moment, I'd say we can't pick Rose or Wesley. Probably Gayle too.
So we are limited.
Travers
Hoever Wilmot McNally Gooch
Pearson Burger (or Laurent) Johnson
Haks Vidigal Bae
If you think you need a bit more physicality up there, it's got to be Lowe ahead of Wes or Gayle

Every year we seem to be badly hamstrung by significant player injuries and it stops our season before it even properly starts. If other teams are having the same issues it makes me wonder how the issue has less apparent effect in the clubs that are achieving? Is it a strength in depth thing, a coaching and training thing, relative squad fitness levels,manager's that are not good at adapting to new circumstances or a combination of all those issue? .. or am I just misreading the situation entirely? Bristol City is the next game and we are struggling for options in defence and attack, I do know that much I always think back to the season got us promoted. I remember a midweek point at Preston where we had players injured and just defended. We coped with injuries and would still be hard to beat because we had a good pool of defenders to choose from. Defence always comes first

Assuming everyone who is injured is unavailable. We can not play Wesley anymore, a target man who can’t run, can’t head and can’t score is no good for anyone.

Gooch is getting an easy ride. He's been awful at full back. He's always outside the line of the pass and so he gets done by players running off his shoulder. He's not a full back. We've got a promising young player we chased all summer. Fucking play him! Travers Hoever Wilmot mcnally Tchamadeu Pearson Laurent Haksabanovic Bae. Vidigal Lowe/anyone but Wes Here's my 11 1 Hartshillbadger 2 Glasgowstokie 3 Toxicavenger 4 Bristolmick 5 Owdstokie 6 Pugsley 7 Skip 8 Lordb 9 Me of course 10 Benjaminbiscuit 11 Huddysleftfoot Subs Anyone else off this board. Formation- we'll decide that after kick off. Solid line up i reckon. Did well to remember 11 names off this board 😆 🤣 You should have Bayern in goal. He doesn't let anything past him. Without reply.

I still don't understand why he let Taylor and Tymon without getting a replacement He gave them chances towards the end of last season and he didn't see anything from them that he would like to build on, so there was no point keeping them. I guess that means that even with the current injury list, he wouldn't have played them, if they had still been here. Two "massive" mistakes in my opinion.

But I've got more about me at 87, than most of these on our books. He should take them on our P course. That would sort them out. They've got no backbone.

Wesley offers nothing (and before anyone says he’s stranded alone up top) he has no pace, wins few headers for his size and may not score a goal all season. The comparison when Lowe came on at B’mouth was startling.

We haven't won in what seems like 4 years.
Abysmal displays.
Conceding sloppy goals.
Lacklustre all round.
And yet I can't wait to go tomorrow. Make sense of that if you can.

I think due to all the shit he's received this week about formations, he'll revert to a 433/4231. However, if we lose I can see him having a snide dig at the fans in his interview saying well we changed the formation and still lost didn't we etc... If he does that, he'll be gone by sunday morning. None of us said 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 would be an instant success, just that he should stick to one formation so we actually have "time to gel" instead of this tinkering shit. Plus, he himself has said he recruited for a 4-3-3.
