Hairy Canary 704 Posted August 3, 2017 Hadn''t realised Martin was touch and go? That pretty much rules out three centre halves if he dosent make it.Bit of a mess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Diane 500 Posted August 3, 2017 Think Bassong is the only player we realised who hasn''t got a club yet Lappin, surprised tbh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lessingham Canary 99 Posted August 3, 2017 Very strong rumour that Ragget is apparently at Carrow Road this afternoon, too soon to put him on the bench? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woodman 92 Posted August 3, 2017 How much of this long list is down to the new training regime? All those injured are from last year''s squad. To be honest I was hoping we were protecting players like Pinto, Wes & Murphy from ''minor knocks'' and that they''d be in the squad on Saturday, but it looks like they''re real injuries.

Trevor Hockey's Beard 527 Posted August 3, 2017 Diane, you forgot to mention Sick-note. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Essjayess 307 Posted August 3, 2017 Basically from the 27 man squad announced couple days ago those out, or definitely not 100% are Jarvis, Thompson, Klose, Pritchard, Lewis, Toffolo, Martin, Hoolahan, Pinto, Murphy, Naismith.That leaves 16 guys basically match fit, including 4 GKs, so maybe 2 GKs will be on the bench for Fulham. 11 guys not ready for the season starter...i doubt many teams have a bigger list than that.

Bill 1,788 Posted August 3, 2017 We''ll be ok Reed and Vrancic are as good as what we may have lost or might be missing. Maddison is up to Naismith and PritchardA few weeks and we''ll be wondering who to drop to make room for the absentees. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Essjayess 307 Posted August 3, 2017 Actually you are correct Bill. I would rather see 1 or 2 fit and eager U23s warming the bench, rather than someone like Pinto, who has had zero match time in pre season. Indy B mentioned elsewhere guys like Cantwell, Phillips, Efete...it is maybe earlier than expected for them, but they have minutes in their legs, and young and fit. Rather see them on the bench than a definitely not ready Ivo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 274 Posted August 4, 2017 Did I dream that Bassong was talking to Preston??And hasnt Efete has been loaned out already - a non league side from memory.That the likes of the chelsea / arsenal youngsters are not coming (as we can not guarantee pitch time) suggests we are pretty happy that the signings made are championship ready.We are looking for 2-3 more signings before the end of the month, at least one of those will be a CB.
