It makes me think that JFC is hurt, Taylor is not ready for the bench, and Ajose is off. Alternatively, there are more injured players than we know about. Either way, it's really bad.
The only other fit player who has featured in pre-season is Blumberg. Including him would mean two left-footed center backs on the bench (and one on the pitch) plus a left back but he has to literally be better than nothing.
Edit: There's also Doughty
Edit 2: According to the match preview Pratley and Taylor both miss out which means, as best I can tell: Phillips, Solly, Bauer, Pearce, Page, Lapslie, Maloney, Aribo, Marshall, Grant, Hackett-Fairchild Sub: AMB, Sarr, Blumberg, Mascoll, Doughty, Morgan, Ajose
No, maybe playing it close to the chest, maybe RH is wrong (and I hope he is). It does, however, add Pratley to the injured list: "New signings Lyle Taylor and Darren Pratley are doubtful and are set to miss the game"
Even without JFC, it seems we should have enough to name a full 18, so I'd be confused if we haven't unless there are injuries we don't know about.
At 17/20 Sunderland seem a good bet at those odds. I can't see us scoring so also 1-0, 2-0 and 3-0 at 11-2, 7-1 and 14-1 got to be worth a score on each of those. I very rarely bet against charlton, but tomorrow it seems silly not to.
Unless I've missed it I love the fact that our game against Sunderland hasnt been mentioned by SKY during tonights game
Almost like even the media have realised what they've let themselves in for and will try and keep the game secret - i.e. If you watch it tomorrow its your own damn fault for stumbling across the match

As I was writing this I thought Id be proven wrong, nope SKY advertised Aberdeen v Rangers on Sunday then Man Utd v Leicester next week.
In a room in SKY HQ there are suits sitting round a room currently wondering what they've done to show us
Have we anyone in the squad who can wind up Cattermole? Every time he steps on the pitch, he is a red waiting to happen. Step forward Joe Aribo and your quick feet.

Pratley isn’t injured just rusty as he hasn’t had much of a pre season, Bowyer mentioned this last week.
Try Sarr in midfield...? (Fuck, everything else have been suggested, what the hell...) Gonna be surrounded by mackems in casino sports bar. Feels like being sent to the principal's office
Weather in Sunderland during the match is forecast to be cloudy and 19/20 degrees, a major heatwave for the area. Our players will welcome the near 10 degree drop in temperature compared to what they have been used to training/playing in lately

Surely it’s the highlight of the weekend?

Two and a half hours to kick off and I’m still sitting around the breakfast table, drinking coffee and chatting and no inclination to move from this spot anytime soon. Whoever it was that thought a 12.30 kick off is a good idea hasnt got a fucking clue...
just been for a walk to loosen up and to buy the papers .. It's just gone10 o'clock and the streets are busy with S'land fans, most in replica shirts, few women and girls with hair dyed bright red .. the pub next to my hotel and every pub and café I passed are rammed .. it's gonna be a busy and lively old day ((:>)

"He [Bowyer] does not have enough players to name seven substitutes this weekend"
Given that I have the team as: Phillips, Solly, Bauer, Pearce, Page, Lapslie, Maloney, Aribo, Marshall, Taylor, Grant
Subs: Maynard-Brewer, Sarr, Mascoll, Pratley, Morgan, Ajose, Hackett-Fairchild

No mention of JFC being injured.

I'm struggling to see what 11 he'll field as my original team had a space for JFC and Fosu who I forgot was out and Taylor........
Phillips
Solly Bauer Pearce Page
'X' Aribo 'X' Marshall
Grant 'X'

Let's not get carried away, after 15 games is the time to assess things.
God bless our rache!
