Looks like we're having our usual Christmas injury crisis early for a change.

Mulumbu, McAuley and Foster will be big misses if they are ruled out of next week's match. Fortunately we now have good squad strength which should be able to cover for it.

Can't say I agree Josh, Myhill is great cover for Foster but if Lescott is still not fit Dawson is not good enough nor is Yacob or Baird to cover for Mulumbu

....obviously any replacement wouldn't be QUITE the same quality as the first choice - that's why the other guy is first choice! However I agree with Josh in that our replacements this year seem to be of a different class to those we've had before, and can HOPEFULLY step up without too much being lost  

On the whole the squad is stronger but them 3 mentioned aren't premier leagues players

How can you class Myhill as a PL player but not Yacob?

He done a decent job last season I wouldn't feel to anxious should Foster miss 3-4 weeks, but would I want Yacob in the side for that long, no chance! Though he's said a few things in the paper hopefully he's found something that was missing all last season
