Burton struggling with Injuries and Suspensions

I think Tommy Elphick is one away from a suspension himself.

Meanwhile, it's not as bad for Burton as they might think. One of the ineligible is O'Grady, and, enthusiastic as he is, I doubt they'll be massively weaker for his absence.

Another is Kyle McFadzean, the former Crawley defender, who is- putting it nicely- a little bit sub-par at this level. Lumbering oaf of a defender. They must have a reasonable replacement for a man of his limited abilities.

One would assume not or they wouldnt have signed him.

McFadzean got sent off against us last year....They have a very thin squad by all accounts

Brace yourselves for an injury bulletin at 3pm. Generally more bad news than good. #bhafc

Interesting that you say that, considering some of the names you've previously suggested the Albion should be looking at.

Oh dear. The best case with that would be a setback for Solly March, I guess. Would be a shame, especially for him, but he's already out, so we're no worse off, as it were.

The worst would be any of the current first XI, plus the likes of Baldock.

Tick tock.

Suggestion of LuaLua being out longer term.

Again, wouldn't be quite so critical as other players (plus he's always been a bit prone to hamstring issues etc).

"Both Tomer Hemed and Glenn (or Jamie, we're not honestly sure) Murray will be unavailable to face Burton this weekend so the club has recalled Chris O'Grady. What? Would you rather we play Manu?"

We can't recall O'Grady!

It's LuaLua. Out for six weeks.

Bearable, if annoying.

LuaLua out for 6 weeks due to surgery.

Never mind. Wish he would keep his mouth shut in future. 'I want to prove I am not a sicknote' blah blah blah
