If these recent injuries to Wilf and Jules aren't just paper talk then the bare minimum of a goalie and 2 strikers that I thought we should of obtained could well come back to haunt us in the present set of games.

We are not in a position to loan anybody out.

Souare was on the bench recently and would have not have been there if he was not fit and expected to play.

Will soon be teaming up with Delaney again I think, look at the injury rate.

PVA is attacking so why not move him up.

Should not say it as I might get shot, but his finishing better than Wilf ?

Playing Soure is a far better option, than your suggestion of playing untried youngsters with no first team experience.

Pretty difficult piece of analysis to do, that. As well as contributing to goals he also tracks back a lot and made a couple of important defensive interventions on Sunday - on one of those occasions in the second half he was going like a train, so how he can have a goosed knee beats me - and plus which of course helps make sure that the ball spends a decent amount of time away from our goalmouth (although clearly Sakho was a big part of the difference between the first and second halves in that department). Then again of course it isn't as if we'll be playing with ten men and we will still have someone on that wing, albeit a less prodigious talent.

We may find out that Wilf's fundamental importance to us is to some extent in our players' heads.

We may also find out that he's in desparate need of a rest, although that will do us little good if he doesn't come back.
