Hines injured?

[Borodane]

Hines went off injured against Sunderland. Another injury to an already depleted squad? Does anyone know how serious it is?

I thought this, hopefully Woody will be fit by the weekend

i dont think hoyte could work as LB, neither does Parnaby

hoyte, Bikey, Friend and Reach could be our back 4

Interesting thought and if Mogga feels as if it is in the BEST interests of the club then he should do so...however I think McManus will be a permanant signing for Bristol in the January period so a recall does seem unlikely

Hoyte has played left back for us before. He also played a full season at sunderland at left back (although they got relegated).

Powlay has told us many times that Reach is definitely not a left back. Having seen him play this season, I'd say he's definitely a player for the final third of the pitch and not very defensive at all so I don't think he would be suited to that position unless it was an absolute emergency.

What about Andy Halliday? He's played left back in pre-season and apparently done well.

Let's hope Hines' injury isn't too bad because we really need all the fit defenders we can get at the moment.

and with burgess/dolan/brobbel in the squad yesterday maybe he sees them as the cover?

I'm sure powlay will correct me but I think brobbel is a left back, so play him there with friend being CB cover for woody when he's being rested. Or burgess a straight replacement at CB against lesser teams.

Sorry sir Brobbel is a forward player usually second striker but occasionally winger.

Dolan is a defensive midfielder and Burgess a football playing defender.

It is a while since Reach played left back, Halliday played there in preseason and I beleive that Gibson is playing there for Tranmere

ah thnx mcgannd i wasn't 100% about it, maybe he will try halliday back there then.

either that or its the parnaby/hoyte switch thing. who knows it does seem the only are we dont have a seasoned pro as cover tho.

What about getting Bates signed on a short term deal. He's back in full training isn't he?
