We need to sign a defensive midfielder and right back asap

[TheRam]

Patterson has a hernia apparently so he’ll be out for a while as well.

His body clearly can’t cope with the demand.

[Cozzie]

Is Kurt Zouma still a free agent?

[Blues Mahoney]

It's going to be 3 at the back.

There's no real other option apart from Aznou at LB, who probably isn't ready being honest.

We looked terrible with 3 at the back during pre season, though.

Ahh well, we had one full day of optimism yesterday, we shouldn't get greedy......

[blueToffee]

The right back issue is really it, not signing anyone there means our flexibility to handle these issues is needlessly reduced. Had we got Tete this wouldn't even be being discussed (well discussed just minus the panic stations). Keane thing is just a distraction.

[Blues Mahoney]

Actually, that doesn't work either as Garner has to go RWB leaving Gana and KDH as the midfield.

Oh, wonderful.

[Blues Mahoney]

No matter what Michael Keane is starting. I'd rather him in a 3 than a 2

[superpull]

Don't worry lads. 4th choice will hardly play.
And Keane is completely free and so it was impossible to find a solitary player on the planet that had a chance of coming in for literally zero pence and being anywhere near as good as him.

Tim?

Tim?

Edit. I forgot about KDH

Yeah im fuming at the idiots on here saying this shite.

Pathetic that he will be starting games for us again, like we said he would

[NickNack]

Not sure in his first season , think Dyche didn't start him , but was injured last season though

Pretty sure Dyche said he wasn’t ready for the first few games - whether that was due to injury or not I’m not sure.

[Gary1878]

Difficult without Myko and JB. That’s a real blow.

I don’t see another way other than throwing Keane in at CB. We don’t have a RB.

Obviously you could switch formations and put 3 at the back and have Aznou/McNeil there with Garner on the other side.

Bit of a bump back down to earth

[brap2]

One injury and we're back to sound the alarm.

Possibly a good sign the squad is not ready to push for anything.
