    Let’s hope he is fit enough but not convinced. Dodgy little beggars those hamstrings
    However have been pretty impressed with Vokins

    I would imagine a couple of bottles of Dom Perignon and a karaoke machine!

    Jake Vokins must be kicking himself right now. He's also injured as well.

    If Bertrand is out stick Redmond back on the left with Theo up front with Che. I reckon Salisu might make his debut on Friday, possibly at LB!

    Had done so well with injuries and they all come at once - bugger! KWP at left back and Valery or JWP at RB? Not ideal but what are the other options

    Not definite that Ryan is out. It might be mind games by Ralph. :) I would keep KWP at RB and maybe Salisu at LB.

    Vesty dropped into LB for a bit once as well didn't he?

    Such a shame, as we've been flying.

    Think Valery was injured last I heard as well.

    According to the Telegraph, Saints are hopeful Ings will be back at the start of December. Can the PL go into lockdown with the rest of the country please? :bandit:

    Well this is going to be a makeshift team. Hopefully it will only be the one game for most and then international break to recover.

    Good call. I'de forgotten he was left footed (or even that he was here :emoticon-0105-wink:). But it will change our style of play (can't see him making the same runs upfield) so Valery probably has an opportunity one way or another. Besides, Salisu may be needed at CB.

    My team would probably be (assuming all 3 are out) - MccCarthy, KWP, Vesty, Jack, Valery, Romeu, JWP, Armstrong, Redders, Che, Theo. Bench would largely be academy players which should not worry us too much as they will be itching to take their chance.

    BTW - James Morris is the B team left back. Anyone know anything about him?

    Will Ferry has played LB for most of the season for the B team. We also have Kameron Ledwidge as well. Can't see any of them starting LB this weekend though!

    Maybe we will mix it up and go 5 at the back, then redmond can play wing back and get more defensive cover

    Not a bad shout if all of the current doubts don't play, defensive stability is paramount and I would take a draw to preserve the unbeaten run in this one rather than gamble too much on attack.
    Nobody's mentioned Sam McQueen as a possible, he has some top flight experience at LB at least.

    McQueen won't even be kicking a football till February, let alone playing in the PL this weekend!
