Alfie Harrison training with the first team?

Shite how I have to work in an office whilst someone gets to drive around a cart full of drinks for millionaire athletes.

Get Miley in there immediately 

[nufcjmc]

Ooh fun final bow for longstaff or willock and miley battling it out for the final push. 

 

Gutted for him but the amount of strapping big joe has had what feels like most of the season he's lasted longer than expected. 

[SteV]

Felt inevitable once he went to see the specialist.

If it’s not serious then strap the fucker up and get him on the pitch. No mercy. 

[Shearergol]

Just like when Botman's knee wasn't serious.

[huss9]

inject the fucker and make him play last 2 if we need to win them

[Super Duper Branko Strupar]

Is it the leg with all the veins? Surely that one is bionic and can just be replaced?

[t00nt00n313]

Desperately need willock to get back to good form again.

[nufc123]

Will be a big miss.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Wouldn’t be against just going with two in midfield and shoehorning Gordon into the team. 

[Yorkie]

Yep, it's a blow. He always makes such a difference when he's in the side, made worse these days cos Willock isn't very good. 

 

Pointless wasting energy wanting Miley in the team so we'll just have to hope Willock plays himself into some form. 

[SUPERTOON]

Wonder if we see that formation we used in the cup against Arsenal a bit more, if Botman is fully fit.

More likely to be Botman no? Especially given some of the opponents we are up against. Really interesting to see our summer business as I really think we need to improve on both Longstaff and Willock next summer ideally.

Yes to this.

Shame for him and us. We'll still do this. Eddie back to manage us over the line. Into Brighton next.

I don't know how much we can spend, I imagine we will but I doubt we will have enough to cover every spot that people want them to cover/replace. Of all areas midfield is the area we are least in demand of reinforcement to be honest. 

 

Right winger and a couple of younger defenders are the main priority. After that maybe a new goalie or backup striker, then finally a new mid fielder.

Has gordon ever played LCM for us?

 

Knew there would be people trying to get him in when Joelinton was injured

 

Surprised there hasn't been any 4 2 3 1 suggestions yet

It's between Gordon or Schar with Botman at CB imo.
