Not a fan of Mara starting. Feel like it's a huge game for him. Has to turn up.

Totally agree with this. Doubt THB starts though.

At the end of the day these players need to be performing otherwise they won't get into their national sides. I'm guessing Sulemena is due to be going to the AFCON in December?

Either way Che doesn't seem the kind of guy to throw his toys out of the pram. Let's not forget the only reason he didn't play last week was because Martin thought it would be best to leave him out. Sulemena I'm not as sure about.

Yes

Martin said he does not see Stu as a wide player, so I'd hazard a guess that he either plays in the middle of not at all.

Leicester have some very good strikers at this level. Daka, Iheneacho, Vardy, Cannon.

Ballard will come back having lost his ability on the ball, but will be able to run around for days.

I get why ABK hasn't travelled but don't see why the other 3 wouldn't have. Doesn't seem like deals were close for those players at all.

Based on if things stay the same between now and tomorrow. Bazunu; KWP, Bednarek, Holgate, Manning; Charles, Downes, Armstrong; Fraser, Edozie, Adams. Subs: Lumley, Harwood-Bellis/ABK, Bree, S.Armstrong, Alcaraz, SAA, Aribo, Sulemena, Mara. Could also switch Downes to the 6 and bring S.Armstrong/Alcaraz in for Charles to make it a bit more attacking.

Yep, they announced him as the club captain. Could easily have another on field captain. No way should he play just because he's the club captain.

If we don't go up with that squad...

That's all a lot of nothing really.

He's got Stewart and Roberts mixed up

ABK to Dortmund is off apparently. Hope Bayern come in for him. Maybe the uncertainty around ABK is why the THB deal has gone quiet?

Cody Drameh joining Birmingham

In terms of Physicality, Mara is miles off what Che offers. Bloke can't hold the ball up for toffee.

Tbh I genuinely believe it would've done Adams good to stay with us and potentially score 20+ goals. If he moves to Wolves I'd love nothing more for them to go down.

Think they play 1 upfront with Cunha slightly deeper.

Surely has to be Obligation to buy. An option to buy would be stupid from us.

Problem is, if we sell Bednarek, ABK, Adams & Mara on deadline day then we will need 4 players to replace them. THB, Stewart and two others?

Unless it was that depressing for him he jumped off the bridge

Sounds like a bit of an aggressive overtake. Who's the pilot.. Nathan Jones?

Who plays upfront in September? Ballard? Considering it's such a big month, it would be very risky.

Looks like Stewart is done then (pending a medical 😬) It'll be interesting now to see whether Che goes or not and if he does, whether we will bring in another striker on top of Stewart.
