Diarra out till December

This but with Masuaku in for talbi, I'd bring Abdullahi on the bench too to chuck on with brobbey when we wanna make the ball stick and bully CBs.

 

I’d be shocked if he made the bench any time soon. Disappointed there was no loan move for the lad

 

Real shame for the lad, but it's an opportunity for someone to step up. Personally, I hope Rigg gets a decent shot at it. We do have options to change the shape as well which is testament to the recruitment in the summer.

 

I like the look of the 3-5-2 set up i saw a few posts back, and I'm sure Reggie will have something very close to this already sorted ,and will be playing it in training so the lads are well drilled up on the system for this weekend. Basically so long as we win or draw ill be happy but prefer the win of course.

 

He will definitely have a few options to change things. Bringing in all of those backroom staff will have helped to mix it as well. I'd be happy with a point down there tbh.

 

Our coaching set up seems to be working great at the minute....lots of options. I'd be happy with a point at Forest,but,I think,the way they play can give us an opportunity to get at them,so I'm hoping for an unexpected, cheeky win.

 

So do I , the options are their , and we could actually benefit from this adversity if the right choices are made. We will see.

 

Re AFCON, I would imagine we are discussing it with Diarra and his agent as soon as the surgery was completed whether or not it’s in his best interests to go.

 

Real shame for this to happen just as he’s settling in, but a real testament to the summer recruitment that you don’t think it’s a killer to lose our record signing.

3 from Rigg, Enzo, Noah, Granit and Dan is absolutely fine.
