Hoever, Wilmot, Rose.

3 fit defenders in a relegation run in, what a shit show.

Can McCarron be added to the squad?

We’ve got a bucket load of wingers that can’t even make the squad though.

Cheers Alex & Ricky.

Just realised we’ve got Clark not that he’s worth a wank either though.

I think it's the French who have a very eloquent saying for news like this. It's something along the lines of:

"Oh well, we're absolutely fucked anyway so it dunna really matter. Garçon."

[crouchpotato1]

I can see him going with 3 Centre backs
Wilmot,Rose,Clark with Gooch and Hoever as wing backs

I’d hope he’d start Leris, aways feel Gooch performs better coming on as a sub.

Granted we’re usually chasing the game and he adds some energy 😂

[Olgrligm]

Leris?

I remember the game last season at home when Isaiah Jones and Ryan Giles murdered us down the wings and we somehow got a point with the DWP equaliser.Pretty sure Jones is still there but not sure if he’s been playing regularly

Out injured, they’re currently Ayling and Luke Thomas at fullbacks.

Both signed in Jan, makes you wonder if Thomas was one of the loans we had lined up?

Completely forgot about Clark…….

[dirtygary69]

Laurent and Burger can probably both play it, but it's hardly ideal. Clark is going to play at some point,maybe even at Leeds if we treat that as virtually impossible (sad, I know).

A relegation battle without one of your better defenders isn't a good thing for sure. He's not been great since AFCON but still a big miss for 6 weeks.

Hoever Wilmot Rose Gooch.

If that isn't a reflection of how poor our recruitment has been I don't know what is. All 4 should be squad players at best.

[stayingupforbigbazza]

Rats deserting a sinking ship comes to mind..

[etebojan]

we seemed to have been grinding out a few wins and draws with Gally then for Schueys first 5 games, i think mostly without Junior, how were we lining up for those matches in his absence?

[march4]

We really are having no luck.

[ceejays]

What’s the score with Stevens ?

Probably just the endless cynicism that the last few years has instilled in us all and I'm sure it's a genuine injury. But it's fair to say his form hasn't been great since the AFCON and he wouldn't be the first player to have returned from that tournament with a significantly worse attitude and half the player than he was before. Remember Bangoura?

He’s a crock. He was a crock before we signed him and he’s continued to be a crock after we signed him.

[peterthornesboots]

Well ...

... this is all going perfectly! 😅

[spiderpuss]

I'm assuming there's nobody beyond nobody worth considering from the U21s?

[jimmygscfc1234]

I thought Stevens was due to be available. Him at left back and Hoever at right for me. Junior being out for 6 weeks means we’ll survive or otherwise without him. It doesn’t bode well though.

Yes I know he is a crock . However he’s been out for weeks . So is his latest injury ruling him out for the rest of the season ? Or will he at some point be available ?

Surely, we can’t play with a flat back four.

Playing a right winger at left back is bloody stupid. If we have to do a flat four, stick Wilmot at right back and Hoever on the left.

Yeah, but McNally is out and Clark isn't registered. So, Laurent as CB or something? Do we have any youngsters ready?

Easy done mate. Don't worry your memory isn't going, unless mine is aswell.

[FullerMagic]

With the possibility of seeing Hoever again hovering in the background, do we think he's shown enough to be inked in as the main starter at RB next season?

Still only 20, and only 900 minutes in the tank this season.

Definitely promising, but maybe not seen quite enough to hang your hat on so far to go in with him and Gooch as the options there?
