The squad should cope imo. Injured players coming back, both centre half's suspended today and we coped well.
Every confidence we Will manage
December will work in our favour because as a squad we have one of the best in the league.
Southampton and Leicester apart, lets see how all the other teams cope.
We are stronger than most when Matete, Evans and Alese return and if Cirkin can finally stay fit
I think our squad depth is really good to be fair. We are so much better off than we were last year. Loads of versatility as well.
As others have said I think the squad has decent depth, we had 5 defenders unavailable today (Ballard, O'Nien, Cirkin, Alese and Pembele) and the four lads we fielded did a good job considering that statistic. We might have to switch formations or tactics but I think we'll manage okay.
Depends if the manager will actually change the team. I hope we do because we’ve got an unreal squad and it will help with all the injuries we get.
Matete or Jobe can drop in, we could even push LON back into midfield and drop Seelt/Triantis/Aji etc into CB. I seem to remember reading Corrie Evans was due back to full training in December.
It's a divisive issue but I think O'Nien would be good in CM. I see his future at Sunderland more there than at CB where big lads like the two today will be a better fit when they're ready.
