      I doubt BAE will be back for Reading considering he wasn't even on the bench against Sunderland. I would've thought that the FA Cup would be a more likely game for his return (assuming he's ready). You're right to be concerned about rotation as neither Gallas or Naughton are nailed on.

      Reasonable punt for the short term, but you've got to be prepared for him to lose is starting line up place in a few weeks. I guess similar was said about HBA last season though. . .

      Was a Saints fan on here pimping him a week or so back. The new cut-price Baines apparently.

      Yep. Hoping he does nothing before the WC. Lots of potential apparently and 4.0.

    Enrique will not drop tonight, so no need to panic. But in terms of replacing him, do you think it is smarter to get in a DGWer like Reid or Gibbs, or get a Chelsea defender for QPR?

      I'm not touching an Arsenal defender until GW23. Think you are solely relying on attacking points as they won't get against a clean sheet at Southamton or against City imo

      Thanks, looks pretty unanimous, except for Superdunny who will wait a bit, but I already have Chesney, so might do Reid (that work for you SuperD?).
