Sounds like there is a decent chance Browne and Potts will be fit enough to play, its getting to the point where AN may have to risk playing them or we could lose touch with the PO's.
The above side looks pretty good to me . Throw in Nmecha and CR7 coming off the bench against tiring players and we could get a result.
 
Thought DJ one of our better players at Reading and would expect him to start at Stockley s expense. I think we’ll have Maguire up top and Browne behind with Gally and Potts wide. DJ and Pearson in middle. The back 4 picks itself. Robbo, Stockley and Moult to come off the bench although Ledson might make an appearance if B P s carrying an injury. It’s all guesswork but whatever team we put out we’ll give them a game!
 
We know a few things about Sheff U.
1. they all work and press hard
2. they play an usual system with overlapping CB's
3. they have experienced strikers who can find space in tight boxes and score.

so for me this means (subject to injuries obviously)
1. We cant afford to play anyone who doesnt work equally as hard - so DJ & Nmecha are out
2. Robbo wont be fit enough to keep tracking back and Nmecha wont be switched on enough
3. Storey & Davies could have a hard time tracking Sharp etc and so no time to cover for Earl or Fisher..

I'd certainly stick with Stockley and even consider Ledson & Pearson starting....
 
Given Neil has openly acknowledged he doesn't give accurate injury information I fear there is a good chance all the injured list will be missing Saturday. For example, he says he is 'hopeful' that Browne will be fit. I think he's a way off returning yet. Of the couple that may be returning I would actually guess at Ripley and Clarke being included in the matchday squad. The words he used in the press conference sounded as if he was a little resigned which suggests to me that Pearson, Browne, Potts etc are all unavailable. Hope I'm very wrong.

Browne was fully involved in training today.

Many thousands of others hope you are as well.
 
Hope Browne is fit. Very nervous about the potential of Pearson's injury ruling him out though- we need our best for a match like this.

I only watched a couple of minutes yesterday as I did the wheel Zeus but he wasn’t there....I was hoping he was in the ice bath or sports massage?

Pearson was in the photo about the team's preparations for Saturday on the club site - but there was no indication when the photo had been taken.

If it’s the one with the ‘Kick it out’ shirts, that’s at Deepdale in a recent pre-match warmup.

Thanks - I had a feeling it might have been something like that. We will find out tomorrow who is available. I am hopeful that Browne will be ready and that after another week Robinson will have sharpened up some more.
