We are certainly limping into the international break with probably some young pros needed to fill the bench.

Iversen
Offiah Storey Lindsay Hughes Small
Armsrong Whiteman Devine
Dobbin
Jebbison

Can’t see any defensive cover at all for the bench so it could be a four if the worst happens.

Is Osmajic injured ??
 
If Vuk is out it’s getting tough. Would have to be Lindsay and Small in

If Vuk is fit, Storey to the middle, Offiah RCB and Small RWB

If so, then the FA have to take some responsibility for what they are putting him through….

It’s an utter nonsense that the decision hasn’t been announced yet…

From memory, I think he qualified that phrase immediately by saying ..” With Montenegro” [presumably UK > Montenegro > Faroe Isles > Montenegro > UK ].
That’s got to be a factor but I think we all suspect he was revealing that the FA enquiry is having a significant impact.

Though he doesn’t specifically mention it presume that is also a reason he has missed training the past 5/6 weeks

Give up all hopes of a back 4, it just isn't happening. I'd be surprised if it's not the OP's team. I just hope he doesn't start Smith.

Southampton fans want him gone.

Shocked me how badly he's done there so far.

A manager who doesn't know the league and a lot of change in the squad over the summer. I didn't think it was a great fit for saints.
As with Leicester and Ipswich, I think we're playing them at a really good time - just hope we can cobble together enough fit bodies to put out a decent XI.
 
So our injury list is now ?

Gibson
Brady
Vuk
Thompson
Potts
Pol
Keane
McCann

That’s nearly a whole team !

It’s the defenders that are my real concern..if we play 5 at the back against Saints I don’t think we’ll have any cover at all on the bench.

Walton, Thordarson, Mads, Osmajic, Smith and whoever else is half fit, plus some U21s.

Which isn't a bad side in itself and there is adequate back-up in central midfield and upfront but there is nothing in reserve in defence or out wide. Serious question are there any out-of-contract players out there who we could sign on a two-month deal to get us through to the New Year - I think we are allowed to do that.

There's nothing in reserve in defence full stop right now, whether it's Small and Offiah at wingback, or the way I posted.

The benefit would be that we aren't relying on Hughes, Lindsay, Storey as a back 3 that can't effectively distribute.

We're likely just going to have to suck it up and accept the players we have, and hope some of the injuries are sorted by the international break. I believe we could have kept a squad place free, as Small didn't need to take one, but we decided against that...

Would take then a couple of months to get match fit especially with our reluctance to use them in the reserves. Plus I think anyone still out of contract wouldn’t be up to the standard required
