Mounting fitness concerns, will we have at least 11?

[JudoRanger]

A massive 13 of our 25 are out (as I write this), with a few possibles to face Norwich.

But blimey, the list is endless. No fit strikers currrently - although I cant understand why HH is a doubt seeing as he played half the game v Stoke with the injury.

8..CAM..Kieron Dyer..........Foot Ligament Strain...Now Running (Start of Dec)
16.CB....Matthew C..........Ankle........................Now Running (Start of Dec)
9...ST...DJ Campbell.........Metatarsal.................Streng thening (End of Dec)
5.. CB...Fitz Hall...............Hamstring.................Out for 4Wks (Start of Dec)
7..CAM..Adel Taarabt........No Passport!!.............Unknown
26..GK...Brian Murphy........Calf Strain................Few Weeks (Mid Dec)
42..LM...Jason Puncheon....Tonsilitis..................Back in Training
18..RB....Luke Young..........Knee......................Resumes Training on 24th
22..ST....Heidar Helguson....Facial Injury............Doubt for Norwich
13..LB....Armand Traore......Thigh.....................Managing Injury
10..ST...Jay Bothroyd........Hamstring................Resumes Training on 24th
6...CB....Danny Gabbidon....Post Injury Effects.....Resumes Training on 24th
17..CAM..Joey Barton.........Suspended...............One Game - Norwich

So we could have Puncheon, Taarabt, Young, Helguson, Traore, Bothroyd and Gabbidon back but most of them will have done little training and be unfit for the game or carrying a slight injury. Im bloody annoyed about this seeing as I hate Norwich and I am desperate for us to beat them. But with depleted numbers its going to be a massive task. I remember when we went there last year we had Agyemang playing as we had no other strikers.

And to add to that list Perone has barely played and from NW comments earlier in the season isnt ready!
What would be your team if none of the above made it?

------------------KENNY----------------

ORR-----FERDINAND----PERONE------HILL

------------DERRY----FAURLIN-----------

SWP-----------BUZSAKY-----------SMITH

---------------MACKIE------------------

SUBS: CERNY, and thats it! Will have to be youngsters.

Id rather have Hill at CB than Perone but numbers dont allow it unless we play Hewitt up front and put Mackie at RB where he played a few last season. Could mix the front 4 around upfront most ways really. Smith has played ST before.

My god I hope NW is playing mind games with Norwich regarding this!

[BennyBoyRs]

HH will be fine, and Taarabt is already back.

I reckon Young, Traore and Gabbidon will be ready to go as well.

[JudoRanger]

Lets hope so. The above team is a worst case scenario - and it is a bit worrying. But hopefully 3/4 of the listed players will be ok.

[Mellowhoop]

Make another thread on the matter xx

[casuallyqpr]

could be in real trouble saturday

Heard yesterday another key player is out injured...wont say who as i tguess the club are keeping it off the radar... but looks like we're really up agaisnt it.


i know its a bit of a **** thread but thought id give you all a heads up to expect the worst

[Mellowhoop]

Could if added it to one of the other hundred threads about it.

A player on top of the already injured/doubtful Young, Traore, Bothroyd, Heidur & Gabbidon?

[maverick69]

Indeed. All of those players have their current injury issues in the public domain - partly due to the words of Warnock himself.

So. Like you say. Is it anyone else?

The way the OP has worded it made me instantly think Faurlin

Certainly hope its not!

Where's Ric when you need him eh

[HammersmithR]

Could it all be mind games from Warnock making comments about players' injuries on the web site????????????

[Del]

We'll be near full strength bar Barton. Any that say resume training 24th will be fine, as they've just had extra rest, as will Traore and HH finished the game with the injury unguarded, so no chance he'll miss Norwich when he could wear a protective mask if required.

On Joey's Twitter yesterday he had a "Q&A" session, and 1 lad asked him

"Is Heidar Helguson bolted together? How else to survive a career of such flagrant disregard for his own safety?"

and Joey responded:

"Made of steel that boy, different breed"

Stop bricking it some of you!!!!
