Assuming we don't appeal, that's Dawson and Kennedy out for Tuesday. No Foster, Etuhu, Edwards, McNulty or Delap through injury, and big doubts over Wiseman and even Hassell. Unreal.
But look on the bright side mate................................................................................................ No Keith Hill either!!! Every cloud has a silver lining !
Edwards and McNulty won't return before the end of the season, in my opinion. But I could be wrong. Think Bobby has got a knock today but reckon he'll soldier on. Wiseman similarly, might play through the pain - injections etc. Reckon Foz is done for the season. Delap can't be far off. Next week maybe? And I reckon they'll rush Etuhu back. No option really.
Before today I'd never have thought we'd be in this type of sh*t. It couldn't be worse. But we're battlers and we can still do this. Christ.
It was his hamstring you're right, pal. They aren't sure how serious until tomorrow. Could be a twinge. If it's a pull then he's done for a while.
I tried to warn people on a thread this week that if results went against us we could be in the bottom three again...I admit I hadn't expected to get beaten though....it's still possible to do this...it's the first really bad day since Flicker took over....thats what p****d me off about so many walking out early in the Ponty...at the end of the match one guy had a go at me for applauding the lads at the end, saying he couldn't understand anyone clapping 'that s**t'.......one bad performance on a day when everything that could go wrong did..
i'd appeal the cards. we'll lose both players for the season after that, but we'll have them on tuesday. we must win on tuesday, or we're pretty much sunk
I'd prefer us to do things right. We'll definitely lose an appeal. There's no way a panel will overturn those decisions. We know that and Flicker certainly knows that. There's not really a case to be heard to be honest. Let's take it on the chin and go out on Tuesday with the best we've got. You never know, bringing some fresh players in might work to our advantage even if they are young 'uns with little experience.
i say play the rules, and give ourselves the best chance we can on tuesday. we lose the players anyway, it's just a case of deciding which game we want them for
Perkins can play left back if needed, but I'd rather if we are short of bodies we played 3 at the back and two holding or at least one. Perkins can play left wing back (i'm scaring myself now) and JOB right (that's it I'm insane). Cywka , Mellis and Etuhu in the middle with Scotland and O'Grady up top. 3-5-2 worked for us before and I know Perks and Jimbob are makeshift, but they could do a job I'm sure of it. With Kennedy and Foster out where do we get a four instead?
The injuries are all consistent with the hard schedule they have just had. Wolves are in same boat. Sat in a coach twice 400 miles plus. Two hard games has knack erred them up. They have been floored, and it is now all about getting back up and winning. What the team will be is anybody's guess. Dawson has no option but to appeal, we then get him for Derby. Can we get emergency loans?
Absolutely agreed. Also, we are now facing a defensive problem which, as a club, we have not acted on. Their centre half (no 44) was dirty and got away with murder today......but exactly the type of player we have needed for years, but never done anything about it.
