Did anyone watch England u21s 0-1 Portugal u21 on Friday night? I see Mubama started and lasted 72 mins before being subbed, at least it got him some mins and match fitness , not sure if any confidence boost looking at the result

Derby going to bring about half the section (1500 or so) One of the longest trips for them for a 12.30 wont be attractive, especially when they've sold out the bigger (2800) allocation for Wolves away 3 days later on the Tuesday

That sounds very positive but I'd take it with a pinch of salt. Larin hasn't trained for over 3 weeks so he'll need to be managed carefully, who knows on Jander who has been out for months other than a brief return in October

Seems injury prone at the moment https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/26687516.eckert-explains-jander-absence-fresh-muscle-issue-sustained/

Scienza missed WBA midweek , Tonda described him as being in a lot of pain, carrying an injury sounds likely Another player that struggles with a full 90 mins

I've mentioned before it might only be a few players but we definitely have an injury crisis, Larin is our only actual striker and Jander possibly best midfielder in the league, take them out plus Schlotterbeck and squad doesn't look promotion standard at all Jander was out for ages in the summer and clearly not right. Larin hasnt trained since Bolton home game , let's hope another two week break will get him fit but no way does he play against Derby, Sheff Utd and Middlesbrough in space of 6 days

It can still move

Guido Carrilo for £19M was worse surely?

Larin isn't even capable of playing 90 mins when 'fit' , we needed another player to do what we had last season , Larin plays 60, other plays 30, then on next game other plays 60, Larin plays 30

Abbot did ok I think without Schlotterbeck we'll bring Wood back for his aerial strength

We're fucked , KS out for weeks. It usually takes 6 to 12 weeks for a dislocated shoulder to heal and for basic symptoms to settle, though a full return to high-impact sports, heavy lifting, or strenuous activity can take 12 to 16 weeks (or longer if surgery is required).

I've heard we paid Man City a chunky loan fee for Mubama so there probably is some pressure to play him The Prince has certainly been cooking in PL2 this season, league table makes good reading, hang it in Southampton Art Gallery

I'm hoping 50% of that £9M was an add on based on promotion

Wondered where he was today, he's got a bit of attitude
