Has Ng been fined for his injury? He should be, it can’t have been from a knock on day 1 of training.

The useless Arsehole!

Unusual injury.

It's a bit of a bummer

Looking at the 26 players there, I don’t think our squad is as weak as some are saying.

Maybe lacking defensively, but I think the midfield and attack are pretty strong for League One.

Why not? Would they take an injured player to Spain?

Some of the best bars in New York are Irish bars. But they are genuine, not theme pubs.

Hope he's not out as long as Adams was with his torn tit.

Still nice, easy chill time for NG till Christmas then.

If we're aiming for a first team squad of about 26, and we need new players (and Alnwick and Ng need to fit back in there) then who out of the touring squad are we pushing out? Alnwick will probably replace Horvarth if he goes or, if he doesn't, Dennis will rejoin the u21s.

So the squad going to spain + Ng and Alnwick by position is roughly (obviously several can play in more than one position)

GK
Alnwick
Horvarth
Turner
Dennis

Rb
Ng
Kpakio

LB
Bagan
Giles

CB
Chambers
Daland
Fish
Tsunoda
Lawlor

CM/AM
Wintle
Turnbull
Robertson
R Colwill
J Colwill
King
Mafico

Wing/Wide Forward
Willock
Tanner
Ashford
Davies?

Centre Forward / Striker
Salech
Robinson
Etete
Nyakuhwa

Which gives 28 - if we want room to bring in say 3 new faces to the 26, we'll be leaving 5 of these out at least.

So Dennis, King, Mafico, Nyakuhwa, Etete out on loan or with the U21s?

Doesn't seem impossible if the finances allow.

Mafico and Nyakuhwa going on loan would make sense but surely now King and Etete are either part of the first team squad or we set them free. It's no use clinging on like we're Chelsea. If we're going to get anyone in, it would have to be for senior players, but they might not be going anywhere.
