Loads of rumours circulating that Sinisterra has not travelled with the squad for todays game. Some have jumped on the band wagon saying he too has refused to play others questioning fitness

Just rumours though, I’m hoping he has travelled, without him and Gnonto and Summerville injured we are light in the only
position we were strong in against Cardiff

From what I read yesterday he picked up a knock to the knee

My line up....

Meslier

Ayling. Creswell. Strujk. Byram

Gray. Ampedu

Poveda. Gyabi. James

Perkins
I’d throw the new CB straight in, leave Struijk out, to be honest, I’ll be amazed if we can make a full bench. Drameh is available but probably not match fit, I heard Rutter was back in training.

This is a crunch game, if we could snatch the points I’d be ecstatic. Next week you’d expect Drameh, Rutter, Summerville and Sinisterra to all be available, you’d imagine another new signing through the door too.

No more key injuries is crucial

But sinna /Summerville /rutter/poveda have too much history with injuries and we must not sign anymore sicknotes.

Was Drameh not on the bench midweek?
 
Is he luton bound do you think

I've no idea. The fact we were pretty much there with the Max Aarons deal suggests a right back might be leaving or not in Farkes plans. There was alot of excitement over Aarons which I didn't understand given we have Dramah, Ayling and Byram.

That is what threw me but Aarons could play left back.

Why did we sign so many players who were mentally weak.

Dunno but when I was calling out the squad over their mental weakness I was told it wasn't the players.

As the months have gone by, one by one the same people are now coming over to my way of thinking.

The point is/was that with the right man in charge at the beginning of last season we wouldn't have been relegated and if we'd appointed Dyche before the World Cup we still wouln't have been relegated.

The players needed a strong manager who recognised any shortcoming and rectified them.
