Given how few defenders we have available, I'd suggest that we all drop Sanchez, even if he's playing. I'm amazed that we seem to be favourites with most bookmakers. It seems like a very tough night ahead.

Call me a bad fan but either we're going to get a totally unexpected draw or win out of this or Paddy Power are paying for my Xmas bottle of Single Malt.

I had a semi serious thought (never a good idea!), but if the rumours are true about who is positive for covid, and given the injury list, we are missing basically all but one or two of the first team, and a fair bit of the FT squad.

At what point does it become an option to just play the full U23 team, on the basis that they are doing quite well, and at least have all played together and have a good understanding of each other and what to expect. As it looks like a fair few of them will be playing and on the bench anyway, why not do something totally out of the box!!!

Tonight is rapidly becoming on paper a complete no hoper so is there a case for saying, lets rest the few fit first teamers and give the younguns some great experience in front of a large crowd, and you never know we may just get something out of it.

No idea how he knows, but he swears that he does, our postman has just informed me, that three of the players who will be missing due to Covid this evening, are Sanchez, Cucarella, and March.

That's the defence gone for a burton if it's true.

My mate got a picture of Sanchez walking around Hove Tesco’s yesterday at 7pm and not wearing a mask.

I have backed wolves at 2.2 to win (draw no bet) because I simply can’t see how we can win.

Great imagination, but.....never!

Steele, Gross, Locadia are not huge misses particularly with Lallana and Alzate back.

Maupay is a huge miss though maybe Ferguson could get minutes.

So does Postie Mark deliver the correct mail to your house, or does he just guess which mail is for which house?! :smile:

May also be Dunk, Webster or Duffy ???

That could be the reason Potter said 3 or 4 ?

Three could have played and one already injured/suspended ?
