[Phil1]

Stones and Laporte doesn’t concern me in the slightest.

[Father Paul]

Played him against fucking Peterborough now he’s gonna miss one of the most important parts of the season

Not only that but he has been played relentlessly for 18 months and misses the most important part of the season. Big loss even if his form has dipped a bit but I suppose it is an area we have reasonable cover.

 

[Cobwebcat]

Steffen and Ake are obvious back ups.

Dias is a blow but I actually thought he could do with a week off as his form had slipped…not 5 weeks obviously!

Laporte and Stones The Centurions!

 

[Eds]

Flapping already, we only have a 50+ capped England international to replace him or at a pinch we go to three at the back with Walker and play a 343. We pretty much play with two at the back anyway so a minor tweak shouldn't be a problem

 

[freshie]

It can, but surely you accept it's quite a bit more likely to happen in your 6th start in 28 days on a below standard pitch.

Nevermind it's a game we would have won easily without him.

Hindsight's a wonderful thing ;)

 

[cookster]

Or alternatively why employ a top class manager when there are so many experts on BM to help ?

It's an opinion and he may be a top class manager but he still makes mistakes.

You have a squad to mitigate these type of risks.

 

[Ric]

Hopefully Dias will be back after the international break. Assuming Ake won't be out for as long, so we should be fine with Stones & Laporte as long as we don't get any further injuries.

I trust Stones and Laporte. I’m not sure I trust them physically for the challenge ahead

 

[come-on-barney]

Stonesy and Laporte will be fine. Always going to happen as he rarely rotates Dias.
