Apparently from a reliable source according my good mate, Ges

Bamford hasn't travelled

I thought Bielsa said Bamford was okay in his press conference 64?

As I did Chilli, maybe the information is naff!

[1964white]

There's just now way that all these injuries are normal - Gelhardt out now for a month.

It's called murderball......

Murdering your own players!

[1964white]

Given our lack of success in games in London generally and our depleted squad I think it's feasible to expect a defeat.....

But, you never know!

Not normal at all Chapel, and they all seem to be long term as well, not just a week or two out. There has to be a reason.....and NOT bad luck!

I'm still angry with Bamford for injuring himself on the day he came back from injury. Very very annoying and what a stupid thing to do

[whiteswan]

......maybe he's broken down again in training.....

I don't think he meant it do you? He obviously let his emotions get the better of him. Obviously I was very restrained when he scored the equaliser in the 92nd minute!

Rumour doing the rounds that Bamford has injured his quad, not sure how reliable. Team reumours suggesting;

Meslier - Ayling, Llorente, Hjelde, Firpo - Koch, Bate, Klich, James, Harrison - Greenwood

That's the team I posted up earlier.

If that is the case, we haven't got one fit striker out of four

Just seen! The source is usually fairly reliable.

Lack of a fit striker is very concerning.

Obviously not. But sorry MW, he really shouldn't have reacted the way he did. The medical staff who spent time repairing his original injury, (not to mention the cost ) the board paying his wages, (not to mention the cost ) the supporters paying his wages (not to mention the cost). He was an absolute T**t! He is supposed to be the most intelligent player at the club. How many games has he missed due to that celebration? How many points has he cost us by not being available?

I did say earlier has he broken down again FFS!

Far too many, Swannie

Our players are like a packet of McVitie's

FFS that's grim reading

There as durable as a 50 year old Durex

We'll get butched mate, and probably would have done against any team, but at least we're spared the embarrassment of Crawley, Newport, etc,

I understand your frustration Swannie, especially when the injury was self-inflicted and unnecessary.

But in Paddy's defence, he had been out for two months, playing in front of a packed ER and scored the equalizer at the death.

In those circumstances I would strip off naked and then dive into the crowd and take whatever injury ensued

[White Riot]

Gelhardt and Paddy getting injured when we\re short of strikers anyway is a right kick in the knackers.

With the limited options available I would go with:

Meslier (from what I gather Klaesson is still miles off it, so better hope Mes stays fit)
Ayling
Llorente
Koch
Firpo
Forshaw
Bate
Klich
Summerville
Greenwood
James

Knowing MB he'll probably stick James at CF.
