Yes we’re buggered by injuries but why 2 keepers on the bench. Surely there a youngster to pop on the bench just for the buzz

Looks like Burger at centre-half Thompson left-back
Could be three at the back with Thompson and Johnson as wing backs?

We can't defend set pieces so a Souttar goal wouldn't be a surprise.

Well, do we have any idea of the nature of these injuries and when anyone will be back? We really dont get much luck do we? I've seen a few times on here discussions as to training/warming up etc. Hopefully the Club do look at that aspect as we seem to be getting a lot of this season after season...or maybe there is a curse?! Anyways, Good luck for today lads. It's going to be a very, very difficult day but do your best! At least I've stopped listening to that gawd awful commentary so can't get even more wound up by his ecstatic joy and glee as the opposoition score. GOARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRN STOKE!

This is going to be very interesting indeed. Both Big Bren and Brynjar Gunnarsson did well as converted defenders and maybe it could happen again? Or end in a complete disaster?

Presumably Bonham is the sub keeper and Fielding is a preferable option to Gayle if we’re looking for a late consolation goal.

This manager is an idiot, really. He’s started the season with 3 centre backs in the squad, and wanted to play a back 5 for many of the early games…..so he was expecting to go through the whole season without one of them picking up and injury or a suspension? If that wasn’t stupid enough, we’ve got one senior left back, who’s 34 and has a fairly average injury record over the last few years……AND he sold a LB on deadline day. You couldn’t make it up.
Normally I’d sympathise with the manager given the injuries we have, but in this case, that team he’s been forced to put out today is a result of his own piss poor planning. The sooner he leaves the better.

Laurent still Who else is fit to play though I’d put Sidibe in there. Our only chance today is to score more than them and we ain’t doing that with heart of a mouse Laurent. I’d rather go down swinging and Sidibe would offer that over him.

I’d rather go down swinging and Sidibe would offer that over him. Sidibe is on a hiding to nothing if he starts him today. If we lose heavily it will only knock his confidence right back. Laurent is the senior pro - this is his job and why we pay him big bucks. If we get pumped he’ll rightly get pelters. I’d keep the youngsters out of games like this, maybe bring them on after 70-80 mins but i not starting and taking all the pressure

Jr can play left back, but that aside take him out of the squad and replace him with an out and out left back and we'd still be in the same position re full backs, we've got three injured fullbacks, hardly the managers fault. CB I grant you, we needed another, but it's pretty clear three at the back wasn't the preferred formation until the CBs looked so incompetent.

We're Dooooomed laddie! Gonna be a long long watch this! I really hope there are no individual errors today, it has to be the perfect plan and execution for anything today.
Had a quick look what the foxes are thinking about this match,
Safe to say they think we are dog shit and should win convincingly... lets ruin there saturday!

We don’t have adequate cover with proper specialists in the squad. Given he’s had free rein to bring in practically a new squad, I don’t think that’s acceptable. Gooch is not a full back as far as I’m concerned, he’s a midfielder that can do a job there.

The state of this team sheet & squad make up is nothing short of abysmal. We all predicted we were fragile and down on numbers in defensive positions and whats happened less than 10 games into the season?! Saw someone describe Birmingham City as a basket club yesterday, beginning to think we're fast becoming one!
