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: please log in to view this image 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
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!
