These directors sure do know how to clutch defeat from the jaws of victory. What was, originally, shaping up to be a really satisfying window has, in the last week, gone horribly wrong. How a club of our stature can contemplate Guiu having any sort of meaningful minutes up front is beyond a joke. We have let Maresca down badly here.

Surely that depends on the Delap injury and if Jackson is actually coming back and seems increasingly doubtful.
I’m also guessing that EM would have been asked for his input.

We do seem to be overloaded with wingers and underloaded in terms of top notch striker option/ s plus GK options/ s plus top notch CB options (in good paet due to injuries or injury prone Fofana and perhaps even top notch attacking midfielders beyond injured Palmer and inexperienced Santos though FB the loanee from Brighton another if signed though also relatively inexperienced or not properly proven in terms of quality however you want to put it.
But again we will have to see what transpires in terms of our results bit our first two home games were not v impressive though away game at Hammers was.

JBS, I’m going to make some assumptions and guesses. Nothing new there.
I’m going to assume we go deep in all the cup competitions and that we are very competitive going for the Premiership. If that is the case then we may well play close to 70 games this season.
I think this will all be a massive challenge for EM but I can see the vast majority (not Caicedo) playing an average of 30 games but not much more.

there is very little we could do im opinion, we play JP as the 9 and hope palmer is back soon as wes and james are fully fit also,
And if delap injury ain't too serious wel be fine,
Er got big money for jackson and it made zero sense to buy a big name when delap may only be out for 6-8 weeks tops it will be 2 weeks down already by the time our next pl game is due to INT break so that may help us,
We can't do much now only believe in Enzo and pray delap gets back to fitness soon and also cole
Up the blues.
