Van wink 2,994 Posted September 13, 2019 It’s important we bring our style. Even if I wanted to park the bus, I couldn’t because of the injuries to my defensive lads Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Van wink 2,994 Posted September 13, 2019 1) Klose doesn’t need surgery. Would have been out 9 months. Now one or two less. 2) Zimmermann will be out until January. Ligament damage in his ankle. Farke says they were worried about his career Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

king canary 7,578 Posted September 13, 2019 Wow, what a ****show. So even if Godfrey and Krul make it we're looking at... Krul Byram, Amadou, Godfrey, Lewis Tettey Buendia, McLean, Steipermann Cantwell Pukki Bench of Fahrmann, Heise, Drmic, Srebeny and whoever else we can rustle up.

Ligament damage in his ankle. Farke says they were worried about his career A full force sliding tackle from wide of a players vision as he is clearly about to clear a ball with full weight on the non - kicking foot and late too gets no penalty!

BobLoz3 492 Posted September 13, 2019 Absolute nightmare of EPIC proportions. I hadn't felt it before, but all of this is going to SERIOUSLY hamper our chances of staying up. I always thought we had enough, if our first team players were available. Instead, we're stuck without some top performers for quite a while. ****. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWC 239 Posted September 13, 2019 I'm not sure how this works, but surely we must be legible to get some sort of emergency loan players, especially in defence?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With a fully fit squad we'd have our work cut out this season. The above injury list beggars belief! Very unlucky 😢. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With the players we've got missing, a lot of them important players, we're really struggling to have a competitive enough squad to stay up. The defence is looking very thin now, and it's just bad luck rather than poor planning. After Man City our tough start is over and it looked like we could start picking up quite a few points as the fixtures on paper weren't too daunting, but now I'm just hoping that we can scrape enough together to stay in touch with 17th over the next couple of months.

I can't see there being any. I'm not an expert on the youth team but I'd guess Odusina is the closest, but even he's way off the first team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Petriix 2,834 Posted September 13, 2019 This is perfect. Man City are bound to completely underestimate us, meanwhile we'll just bring in whoever this year's versions of Godfrey and Aarons are from our youth ranks. We'll catch them cold, pick up the three points and unearth the next two £30m+ players at the same time. What's not to love about that? 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This really is down to the bones - I guess we find out over the next month or two whether our squad can step up like last year. As we know, sometimes a guaranteed run of games can unearth another gem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And if Godfrey doesn't make it I guess Lewis at CH and Heise in at full back? We really shouldn't be risking him in any way. We are going to need him big time in the next few months.

Capt. Pants 4,195 Posted September 13, 2019 Godfrey doubtful but mustn't be risked if not 100%. To think that some on here thought 4 CBs in the squad was enough, especially when one of those is Hanley. We are doomed. Doomed I tell you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
curious yellow 184 Posted September 13, 2019 Not sure where Odusina is. Famewo might be a good shout. I wouldn't risk anyone who's not 100% fit. Maybe Robert Rosario for centre half. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pete 318 Posted September 13, 2019 Only promising youngsters that could have been drafted in are on loan. Avoiding relegation looking a long way off, self funding is looking a futile exercise. What is going to happen when Webber decides this is not the way forward and the bargains suddenly dry up. Pl a poisoned chalice for City. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
