Two days out from the season and a few question marks in the squad and the club refuse to give the spiv fans an update. So what do we know?
Jimmy - Looks like a hip injury?
Steve Cook - Hammy.
Michi Frey – from all accounts, he looks like he is out for a while.
JCS - Broken Heartstring.
Anyone else? |  | | |  |

Dunne & Larkeche will be the full backs, Walsh No1, Morgan will start, Menbengue the other CB if Cook is unfit, Chair will be midfield with Field, Varane, Madsen, expect Smyth in there too, but if not Dembele or Puku or Vale. If fit he may throw in Burrell
WALSH
DUNNE - MORRISON - MENBENGUE - LARKECHE
SMYTH - FIELD - VARANE - MADSEN - VALE/DEMBELE/PUKO
BURRELL(??) or one of the midfielders.
I, actually, find it quite unbelievable that the side is not stable for the starting game of the season....... [Post edited 8 Aug 9:55]

Morgan at CB, Gazza? | | | |

He’s like the Cat off Red Dwarf, desperately trying to get his leg over! |
Nah! After some well-documented misbehaviour he’s been neutered. |  | | |

Is there a press conference today where we might hear news? |  |

Not seeking to be a naive happy clapper, and the silence from HQ clearly isn't helpful...but there seems to be an awful lot of guesswork re Dunne & Cook in particular. If someone feels a twinge in a friendly a week before the real stuff starts, you sub 'em. We did that, and the comms void has subsequently led to a lot of presumptions.
All I've seen is this from JS on WLS immediately after the Brentford game:
“I hope Jimmy will be OK because we stopped (him playing) quickly. For Cookie it was after a run, so I don’t know yet. I hope we can have these players available.” |  |

Dunne hasn't been seen in any training videos since so you would assume he's unavailable
Be nice if the club actually told the fans though wouldn't it | | | |

Unfortunately, Dunne, Smyth and Varane are unfit. | | | |

I thought the idea of preseason was to get them fit,not injured? |  | | |

Yep. We have an update from the club.
Very spotting of them. Interestingly no mention of Cook. I’m not sure he’s 100% either. Hopefully he is and plays.
Fascinating to see who he picks in the middle of the pitch (with Field). I’d go with Morgan and Vale, with to make a true 3, and then Chair on the left, and Poku on the right, but I suspect it’ll be Field, Madsen, and Chair, with Dembele and Poku on the wings. Open, and very attacking. [Post edited 8 Aug 14:38]

Our luck knocked us for 6 last season and it appears to be continuing......
4/5 pretty certain starters will not get near the team tomorrow, how's ya luck!!!
Field MUST play in midfield tomorrow.......presume that Dembele/Puko will play wide instead of Smyth & Adamson for Dunne. Celar may start as well.
To be honest, with that team we will be doing very well to get a draw but who knows, it's football. | | | |

The management has got some tough decisions.
Morgan gives the ball away too much and fouls a lot so if it is a choice between Morgan or Vale I would select Vale. Not sure Chair will play where he did v Brentford, it was a waste for me. Also difficult decision whether to play Dembele & Poku together.
Very interesting times. | | | |

I know we have been talking up a striker and a left back. But we are woefully short in central midfield. That needs to be a priority! | | | |

Ok, time for my best guess of what Julien will pick from what's available (and he'll need to discover some of the things we think we already know).
Walsh
Adamson Cook Morrison Larkeche
Chair Field Madsen
Poku Celar Dembele
On 55 mins when things aren't how we want them and we're being slaughtered on both sides he'll bring on Mbengue for Adamson, Kolli for Celar, Vale or Morgan for Madsen. A little later he'll bring on Burrell for Dembele.
If it was me, even though I've never seen some of these guys play, I'd go
Nardi
Mbengue Cook Morrison Larkeche
Chair Field Vale
Poku Kolli Dembele |  | | |

Think Chair will start upfront as Burrell can't be match fit to be able to start. Field and Morgan CM with Madsen ahead.
If Adamson starts at RB I'm watching the game with my eyes shut. | |
