    It can be two or three weeks mate.

    In his case he's playing with/against big powerful athletes so a knock can be quite hefty ...

    ... not like the deadlegs you get at school.

    A point will keep us ticking over but we've got more than enough to win.

    Sorry yes missed that. In that case I’m in.

    Would probably take Huggins out as well and get Riggy in as fly keeper / quarterback

    So, we are missing

    Cirkin (Hamstring - 4 weeks)
    Evans (ACL - 12 weeks)
    Matete
    (Knee - 8 weeks ish)
    Ekwah (Dead Leg - 10 days)
    Alese (Calf - ???)
    Dack (Hamstring 2-3 weeks)
    Pembele (General fitness - ???)

    Good that we have depth in the squad, but got to hope we can get Alese or Pembele up to speed soon for the inevitable injury to Huggins

    can’t remember how or why but something is telling me Mowbray said Alese would be after next international break. You’d have to think Pembele will be similar ish but could probably come in in an emergency maybe?

    So. I'd go:

    Patterson
    Hume O'Nien Ballard Huggins
    Jobe Neil
    Ba Pritchard Clarke
    Burstow

    Subs: Bishop, Triantis, Seelt, Taylor, Roberts, Rigg, Bennette, Hemir, Aouchiche​

    Although I reckon TM will bring Roberts back and keep Pritch on the bench. Be interesting to see how Jobe does as an 8 - I'm not convinced he's a long term solution at 10

    Thought Dack was on the cusp of being ready for tomorrow and certainly the weekend, or have I imagined all that?

    Pembele probably just needs a few u21 games as he's barely played in the last few months. If we can get to the Boro game with no more injuries, the squad should be looking even stronger come Stoke (a)
