    We've been hearing a lot about how we'll be depeleted during AFCON but looking at our squad I actually feel okay about the team we could put out, have a look at this:

    You can obviously swap Mukiele and Geertruid around, put Le Fee at LWB, Rigg on the right etc

    The likes of Brian Brobbey, Dan Neil, Dennis Cirkin and Luke O'Nien on the bench. This team is perfectly capable of getting results against a lot of teams in the Premier League.

    Also bear in mind that not all the players will be away for the full tournament and could be back after a couple of weeks eg Reinaldo

    8 of them started yesterday so not too far away from full strength. Sadiki will be the biggest miss

    Will diarra be going, I know we can’t stop them but I wouldn’t want him away after being out for a few months.

    He will be. Maybe he can run back from Morocco, play for us in between games over there, and then run back?

    Shouldn't be a problem to him!
