Injuries all coming at the wrong time

Hope Virtue is OK - really down to the absolute bare bones and what is especially gutting is imagine if we playing Posh on Tuesday night with a full strength squad!
 
There's a few players who have come on leaps and bounds, that might not have featured much at all if we had a clean bill of health. I think it's been a blessing in disguise, and hopefully Madine and the like will start coming back just as we absolutely need them.
 
I'd actually reverse that and say when players do come back how does Critchley deal with them all!
 
What is our supposed full strength X1?, we are lucky to have like for like cover in almost every position.
 
”Always look on the bright.....”. I’m both delighted and surprised how we’re progressing. Home ‘v’ away. Never seen it stranger. Critch, the coaches and the players are all learning. Aren’t we? Favourite players missing? No problem. What was that formation today: 4-5-1? Whatever, it worked. That was, to me, a professional performance. Yes, from a team in Tangerine! Roll on Tuesday.

By the way, do we need a new “Prince Charlie”? Of course we do, But might we already have him? Kai Kai. Let him roam the middle, not guarding the left touch line.
 
I'd take a draw now on Tuesday night bearing in mind the injury list 🙁
At this stage of the seasons we've got to be prepared to be a bit more courageous and go for the win. We're playing well, confidence is high and, even if they get the first goal, I still say, go for it!

We are coping with the injuries well. Contrast it with Villa, their form since Grealish has been out is piss poor, i wouldn't want us to have a superstar player and be so reliant on him.
We have a squad of players who can all do a job when played in their best position, we also have 2 or 3 effective ways of playing depending on available personnel.
Maybe we won't win tomorrow but if they continue to give it everything and look like they are part of an effective gameplan that they all understand that is all we can ask for.
