If Gallagher and Obafemi are injured. Austin is banned? Ings needs to be rested. And Gabbi is being sold. Who plays up front vs Derby? Ah Long. All we have is Long.
Sadly if Ings only needs rest he will have to play when Austin banned...Long and Ings could work well together. Means Austin will be nailed on to play v Derby if there is doubt about him being available for Leicester. He has till Monday to reply to charge, so no ban can kick in before that.
Oh ok, just assumed Austin was straight up banned. So Austin and Long for this game then. Even if all we had for this game was Ings and Long, I'd be resting Ings for this. We need a healthy Ings for the league! At least we have a bit of time inbetween matches again now.
Ralph from Part 2 of Presser. - Gunn will play vs Derby - Stephens in for Yoshida. - Targett rested and will come back. - Bertrand should start training tomorrow. - Hesketh was involved in today's session - We will decide whether he stays or goes back out on loan. - Decision still to be made on Harrison Reed. ### Shamelessly copied from SaintsWeb
Shame about losing Yoshi...he's a player that improves with use. He becomes such a good player when played every week. Let's hope Japan get knocked out early (sorry, Maya).
So FA Cup important, but we need balance between that and survival...says we need fresh players and we will rotate. Not unexpected really.
Be good if he got beaten within an inch of his life....would mean we had done very well. Can't see a drawback
We will miss him, but I hope he achieves great things for his country. I have been critical about his abilities in the past, but never his attitude; the Japanese Steven Davis, a model pro, and an example to all
(I actually wouldn’t play McDonald for this one in all seriousness. I just wanted to write it because I’m a child).
Shouldn’t McDonald play to shepherd the midfield, or would he be better harvesting something further forward?
