Brilliant.

The way he went down on Tuesday, I wasn't expecting him to complete the match.

If so, then we have to get a defender in today don't we?

Not good
He gets a lot of stick from some but his value as skipper is considerable

It's vital - we have no fit CBs.

Yes, when he went down I was thinking that that was the last that we would see of him for a while.
We are now two experienced defenders short if this is true.

Our recurrent injury problems are something that needs looking into, I think, because it's getting past the point of being unfortunate coincidence.

But if a player genuinely does get injured, what is there that can be done? In terms of Bishop and Hyam I can maybe understand, but let's be honest, Chambers has hardly ever been injured since being here, so that one can't be a coincidence.*

*if true of course.

Balls.

Do we have until 5pm today for a replacement?

Otherwise it's Spence/Knudsen tomorrow? At least Brentford don't have a giant centre forward!

Only listening on the radio Tuesday but when he went down the commentators were sure he would be going off. Fair play to him for carrying on but was that wise?

Can we bring Emmanuel back or is there not a clause in his loan agreement?

I know it's not the answer but in the circumstances he, at least, knows the rest of the team.

It's ridiculous that Mick felt we had enough by only having Chambo, Smith and Webster... as with strikers, you need 4 ideally to cover for injuries / suspension etc.
And as he often says, 2 players for each position.

I guess CBs tomorrow could be two from Iorfa, Spence, Knudsen and Woolfy.

Iorfa - Spence - Knudsen - Kenlock

All of them are better in a 5, very worrying against a good attacking team - but as you say least they don't have a big bloke

Yeah, of all games to have a more mobile back four it wouldn't be the worst. But they still won't have played together. Really going to have to drag ourselves through for a few weeks, aren't we, but it's getting tougher ...

Would have to be something pretty bad to keep Chambo out considering he played with broken ribs and a small break in his ankle last year.

Even if we get someone in today, that player is literally going to be thrown in the deep end tomorrow.

Wonder whether we could go 5 at the back tomorrow with Kenlock, Knudsen, Iorfa, Spence and maybe use Ward at right back as Mick has eluded to in the past? Think even Nydam can play left back too if Mick does not trust Kenlock at the min so we have a few options to play if it comes to it.

Would depend on who is fit in midfield though.

Sounds like we are going to be well up against it tomorrow if this is true.

Guessing Skuse will take the armband in his absence??

At the start of the season we had Iorfa, Spence, Chambers, Smith, Webster, Knudsen and Kenlock plus maybe a couple from the academy.

I am sure he felt that was enough at the time hence the reason he let Emmanuel go out on loan.

3 x CBs and 4 x FBs.... so still one short of two in each position.

And the 3 x CBs are all injured.

I agree were 1 short at centre back, but the fact that both Spence and Knudsen can fill in at CB if we went to 5 at the back, I can see why Mick didn't think he felt like he needed anyone.

There was never an issue with having Emmanuel go out on loan. He was 3rd choice at RB and needs games to improve. But we should still have signed a 4th CB
