Likely to be out of the game. fuck it. and so it begins. just sensing everything is going to conspire against us. He'll be assessed when back at the club, not necessarily out but has withdrawn from the Israel squad so 50/50 at the moment Ramsdale has been training throughout international break so we do have him and clearly should use him if we need to 1

Damn if Peretz ain't fit. Same as others, Ramsdale has to start. Give him some motivation to do it and then kick on again. Madness if Long plays. 1

The last thing I'd want is for them to rush him back and him make it worse, then Long has to come on and Peretz is out for months. Groin injuries are notorious for healing problems. You've got an ex-international keeper sitting on his arse. Get him in the side. 2

Harry you have no idea so stop panicking , he's withdrawn from the Israel squad as a precaution, having Ramsdale as part of our squad should make us much less worried. If anything happens to Larin then thats a different issue all together.....

Pamplemousse Posted October 2 Posted October 2 The skates have their own injury issues, they only have two centre backs fit, one of whom has only played a couple of times for them. Larin will be licking his lips

He'd have to swallow his pride to pick Ramsdale. I'm still confused why he's been relegated to 3rd/4th choice anyway. It has to be financial reasons or something personal with Tonda?

bangkoksaint Posted October 2 Posted October 2 I’m sorry but if DP isn’t fit, AR doesn’t play and we go onto lose it could backfire on the club, Tonder and our promotion chances spectacularly. Imagine missing promotion by a couple of points because of a Long mistake in this game? It’s £100m gamble. 1

Appy Posted October 2 Posted October 2 If he’s close to playing, he should be fine. Unless it’s the same as Jander being close.
LGTL Posted October 2 Posted October 2 (edited) FFS I can’t be the only one really fucked off with the timing of this game? Imagine starting a derby with Long and Mubama. Edited October 2 by LGTL

OneMrsWallace Posted October 2 Posted October 2 An injury to a key player, all for the utterly pointless, money spinning Nations whatever tournament. I hate the way football is going. 3

Will Still our worst ever manager. 1

millsy Posted October 4 Posted October 4 What time are pubs opening on Sunday or are there restrictions in place?

Yep, last year most football pubs were open and busy-ish at 9am , certainly Cricketers, O'Neills, Scholars, think The Alex as well, see no reason it wont be similar again. No doubt the club wont want to miss out on some £££ in the fan zones as well 1
Pamplemousse Posted October 4 Posted October 4 Fan zones last year were absolutely rammed. I got to the ground quite late because of rail replacement buses and it was manic.

Lighthouse Posted October 5 Posted October 5 Anyone heading to this who usually comes in via Junction 7 (Hedge End), I'd suggest finding a different route. I've just tried to come through there and it's absolute carnage, with temporary lights at Kane's Hill Roundabout for the next two weeks, and it's not even a busy time of day. 1
Saint_lambden Posted October 5 Author Posted October 5 Junction 9 of M3 is closed again this weekend. Going to be some mighty impressive bridge/slip-road when it's all done! 😆
SouthWalesSaints Posted October 5 Posted October 5 Biggest game of the season, bar NONE. Bring your fucking voices boys..... 2

LGTL Posted October 5 Posted October 5 So as it stands, we have no idea if our GK, centre forward, or manager will be involved in this game. Brilliant.

Would also like to know if Scienza is definitely fit? Went off injured vs Wrexham after being kicked out of the game, was mentioned he played behind closed doors friendly vs Aston Villa but can't find any confirmation of that. Peretz and Larin injuries incredibly frustrating
AlexLaw76 Posted October 5 Posted October 5 George Long it is then. i remember the days when it was certain he was literally brought to the club to put the cones out 1
