BDB is out for at least 3 games with knee ligament damage picked up in the Luton friendly.

i was thinking that I wouldn't be surprised to see Duffy force his way into the matchday squad.

Assuming we don't sign a RWB and given Lamptey issues. Veltman will surely be the option .

If Ostigard isnt ready then Duffy has to be well in the mix to pair Dunk and Webster

If we are playing a flat back 4 then we really need a specialised LB

A fabulous player to have in the squad but unlikely to be first choice when everyone is fit. We have plenty of options early on so should be able to deal with his absence easier than Wellbeck's. Hopefully back after the international break

If we start with four at the back it will be Veltman, Dunk, Webster, March, sub Ostigard

If we start with five it will be Gross/Karbonownik/Alzate/Moder/Mewepu/Potterball special, Veltman, Dunk, Webster, March, sub Ostigard

Unless it was at CB was hoping would not be near team.. Desperate for LB/LWB

Knee ligament damage three games out yeh right, more like ten games out, omg we look seriously short now !

Yes only got Dunk Webster Veltman Duffy Ostigard to play CB.


Think we’ll be ok

With Lamptey out indefinitely you can discount Veltman from that group, leaving Potter the selection headache of a centre back who he doesn’t/didn’t want and a kid who’s never kicked a ball in the Premier League. Lucky old Graham.

Kid who’s never kicked a ball in the Premier League like Ben White last year then?

We have players who have played RB or perhaps time for an u23 to step up.

Did we know Ben would settle straight in? Just like we don’t know if Ostigard will, he looks like he could be a good player, be lucky if he’s on White’s level though.
Yes, we have midfielders who have filled in at RB, not exactly the ideal way to start the season. Potter has my sympathies, despite having a swollen squad he’s definitely short in depth at certain positions. Much of last season was square pegs in round holes, I’d rather hoped we have a bit more balance by now.

Great defence for a youngster to come into. The likes of Dunk Webster and Veltman to coach you through games.

Ostigard has played a season in the Championship and 28 games in Bundesligi 2

Could be the next White

One problem with that is we don't know how fit Dunk and Webster are? neither have figured so far in pre-season so it does leave us a bit short really.
