Sssshhhh!!!!Gonna be Hughes ain't it! At the very least a CB.
Anyone expecting the Silver Boot Boys to turn up?
Christ, considering the money we've spent, that's awful.I'll have a go -
Pandur
Drameh - Egan - Hughes - Giles
Slater - Shelvey - Crooks
Kamara - Joseph - Brown
FWIW - this is also my predicted starting 11 against Coventry - cos we don't look like bringing in the cavalry![]()
They’ve got Oliver Norwood playing for themThis game has got a 3 month injury to a reasonably-decent-first-team-squad-player written all over it.
Nick Powell for them too
He’s only 31

If you add Millar, Belloumi and Matazo it looks a bit better though doesn't it. And their injuries were just freakishly unlucky.
And for those who were there that day and still here, over 50 odd years of solid support behind us all.Silver hair these days.
Sorry add Puerta to that as well
Freakishly unlucky but also irrelevant to our current situation. Millar and Belloumi won’t be playing until after the September international break and Matazo won’t be back until after Christmas. Puerta can’t be registered.
Our squad is currently piss-poor for the money we’ve laid out in the last three years. Even if Famewo, Lundstram and a striker come in before Coventry, our squad depth is still piss-poor and our midfield will be like training cones for Coventry’s.

Yes but those four players have been bought with the money. It's just unlucky with the 3 ACLs that they're out. Probably £15m of transfer fees that can't get on the pitch.
Stick those four in the XI and it's a hell of a lot better.
