When Oggy was diagnosed we were saying it's the one area we're ok for. Now it's not. I suspect Cresswell will be rushed back to play in a three in defence with Dawson and Diop but that leaves us no room for anything more at all even though we have some promising kids. At a stretch Kral has played there in the past.

So it has to be a loan and a permanent in January and at the very start of it as well.

I hope the groundwork is in process for it but if the dwarf's track record is anything to go by he'll be haggling over a tenner.
Are you confusing the Czech sideshow Bob with the original Brazilian sideshow Bob?
I never knew Kral has played there before…..or Soucek for that matter. I think Coufal has played there in a 3 though.
COYI!!!

Hope not more than 2 months out for Zouma and hope Johnson will be back by New Year. Totally agreed that we should get a defender at earliest January transfer to be done with.

Done his scan and his ligaments was snapped but no surgery required and will be out between 6 weeks to 12 weekks so that 2 to 3 months out max. Hopefully to be back by March at the earliest in time for our final third of Premier League plus Europa Cup to push on.

Very important now to make sure Dawson and Diop are wrapped in cotton wool. Hopefully we'll get to see Alese and Baptiste in CD against Zagreb.

Could be Rice put back there :idea: , and Kral brought into the action :o .
He can obviously play there but a no-no for me. He's too important for the general team system.

Maybe it's time to see how good Alese and Baptiste are until reinforcements are drafted in.
I would agree the thought of putting Rice back in defence would totally change the dynamics of the midfield and what he can bring to the team as a whole . As for bringing in Alese shouldn't that have been done well before now , especially since Ogbonna's injury , but thought the same could have been said about playing Longelo at LB who appears to be putting in some good performances .

Why did we need to give the fifth and sixth choice CBs an outing up to now ? What game should we have tried him out in ?

The step up is going to be a big one so EL is a good halfway house as it is not as quick as the PL which is far more unforgiving.

Nothing better than a dead rubber to give them a go. Does anyone know whether we have an obligation to field a strong side as DZ and Genk still have qualification to play for ?
