My patience is starting to wear thin with all these continued injuries. But more so that once again i'm going to be paying to watch us play with the 1 recognised CB. All that money we got for Scott and still we find ourselves possibly playing with 1 cb. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight and Naismith are doubts rather than ruled out completely aren't they? Or has there been more info since whatever I read? I think my main worry if both Tanner and Knight are out is how exactly we'll get Taylor Gardner-Hickman to cover two positions at once... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do all the planning that you want through the international break, and we get the internationals back and they are physically okay but again, there’s always something that crops up.

Yeah - that was what I thought I'd read. If the doubts are outs, and Conway's not ready to start (no idea if he is or isn't btw) presuming we'd go O'Leary TGH Dickie Pring Roberts Williams James Weimann Sykes Cornick Bell My issue would be less with that line-up but more that would only leave us with three even vaguely experienced players on the bench (King, Conway, Mehmeti) 34 minutes ago, Tony Tootle said: Anyone know when Vyner is likely to be back? Originally Pearson said four to six weeks was the timeline. That was about four weeks ago. I think he also said he was going to have a scan in about two weeks so I'd guess early to mid November if the scan results are okay. Edited October 19, 2023 by LondonBristolian Edited because I am somehow getting Pring and Wells confused! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petehinton Posted October 19, 2023 Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 Most telling thing in that pre match, is it sounds very much like there’s going to be no contract decision for Nige until the end of the season at best. “up to the club to decide, but would suggest all the hard work that’s been put in shows that we’re starting to go in the right direction” 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tin Posted October 19, 2023 Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 Assuming Knight and Naismith join Tanner and Wells is missing this, we’re likely to go: O’Leary; Gardner-Hickman, Dickie, Roberts, Pring; James, Williams; Sykes, Weimann, Bell, Cornick. Not the most creative XI and a point looks like it might be a good result IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One can draw water from a Well, and the missing ‘S’ was pinched from (S)Pring, from which you can also get water. Or something like that. Or just taking the water.

Maybe the injuries haven’t helped either, but it wasn’t a positive ‘presser’ from Nige. 35 minutes ago, W-S-M Seagull said: Pearson said he is ready to start. The only positive that came out of that.

Lavington Robin Posted October 19, 2023 Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 How about Sykes as RB & TGH to give some creativity in midfield would be my only variation to the consensus of most of those above (based on worst case scenario) ? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
