No idea why we're playing on Saturday midday after playing on Wednesday night, but whatever. Can't do anything about that now. I was worried about this game beforehand anyway, but now even moreso now with Rice's injury. We have no-one in the team who has his athleticism, stamina, running power or ability to eat up space. If he isn't fit, what do we do? Does Merino drop into midfield? Does Norgaard come in? Mosquera's injury is also a major worry as we have 3 of our 4 CBs out with injury as it stands. Some big decisions to be made for this game. If I'm going to be brutally honest, I think we will drop points here. But I'm hoping we show enough to get a draw at least.
