Team for Stoke? 16:36 - Jan 14 with 11667 viewsFDC

Have we had updates on Saito and Dembele?

Would be good to get back to winnings ways and build a bit of momentum again, but really tough game.

Walsh
Mbengue-Dunne-Ronnie-RND (hopefully available?)
Bennie?-Field/Hayden-Madsen-Smyth
Kone-Kolli

Id actually like to see Bennie brought on up front when Kolli runs out of puff, but we might need him in place of Dembele?

Off on a tangent but I found Dave Mc's take on WLS interesting, about how we should be looking to try 433 a go again, with Kone as the the striker - basically "yes Burrell has been great but as a team we would be stronger with Kone as the main striker".

I don't think we will, but this could be a good time to experiment

I've not seen any new injury updates. Perhaps Stephan will give one in his pre match. I think the only possible returnee would be Morrison.

Looked like another two contact injuries to me.
Def not Hamstrings, or the result of any poor conditioning.

If you think otherwise I'll see you in the canteen.

Barrel scraping at this point, but assuming a lot of wingers out, could Esquerdinha be a short term left wing option? Very left sided, not great one on one defensively but that matters less on the wing and I think his attacking output isn't that bad. He can cross a ball and loves a shot, he's quick and doesn't mind taking people on. I remember Cifuentes used to do this with Larkeche occasionally, quite handy with 10-15 minutes to go

Emmerson Sutton has been recalled from his loan having extended it until the end of the season yesterday. So I am guessing it's not good news with injuries

Hamer
Mbengue Dunne Ronnie RND
Dembele Hayden Madsen Smyth
Kolli Kone

Would be my guess. Saito def was hamstring while Dembele was a knock.

Could you imagine Honest Arry dealing with this injury crisis

Bare bones wouldn’t even cover it.

He'd definitely name 8 subs for the next game and 2 of them would be Nardi and Walsh, just to make a point

Are there as many hamstring injuries in a contact sport like rugby ?

Don’t hear about that many, compared to all the other injuries they get - especially the props that obvs get bummed in the ears until they bleed out and become ‘Kollis.’

Feels like we just get passive-aggressive, contact injuries….

Those possessed by devils, try and keep them under control a bit, can't you ?

I wonder if we do use a three man midfield they might bring Edwards in for that DCM position for the Stoke game

If Sutton or Cooper play at any time this month, does that mean they have to stay with us until the end of the season?

Yeah, I think you can still only turn out for two clubs in a season. The Cup tie was the thing that Man City* got changed this year.

*Sorry, the FA decided was a good idea to help the grassroots clubs

Cooper will, I don't think Sutton will as non-league doesn't count. Plus...he has played for us this season.

Kolli has played Left wing throughout his youth career and also for us (opening day last season vs West Brom, picked up an assist too) so I wouldn't mind seeing him there if we have no other options due to injuries

That is a "barebones" team. If all can't start we're looking at something like possible 4-3-3:
Walsh
Dunne Edwards Cook RND
Morgan Hayden Madsen
Smyth Kone Kolli.

Or Morgan in the 10, either way not much there and even less on the bench.

If we look at all the squads though, there are no injuries in the ladies team, the tigers or the U8's
So, in actual fact our injuries are well below average.

sorry if you cant see you favourite players

Mbengue has caught the Sam Field bug from last season. Almost every game going down and holding a leg or his back, sometimes needing treatment. Johanssen had that a couple of years ago too.
