The squad isn\'t stretched as far as we know we will only have 3 of the first XI definitely missing and we have 2 doubtful. So far, we have been one of the luckiest team with injuries this season, so we can\'t really cry when they do happen.Grealish only played 25-odd games most seasons in the Premier League, Rohl likewise, and Dewsbury-Hall hasn\'t been conditioned to play every minute of a Premier League season and he\'s 27.Moyes's ridiculous decision to send Harrison Armstrong to Preston is now backfiring and the manager has no excuses as he will now need to rely on the likes of McNeil and Dibling who have been dreadfully mismanaged and underused this season.I seem in the minority in that I was furious with the match at Chelsea and some of the posts post-match. For me, we had a brilliant 15 minutes before half-time and we\'re unlucky to go in 2-0 down. Second half we were woeful and it could have been embarrassing yet Moyes never reacted. It was like he was happy to keep the score down. When he eventually made changes, the subs nearly embarrassed him as, for the last 10 minutes, we caused them all sorts of problems and we could have unbelievably nicked a draw. Yet Moyes made the changes to save his players.Moyes once again picked Keane and, just as at Newcastle and Liverpool, they exposed his side and Gana was once again woeful. Such a difference when O'Brien played there and Garner at right-back.Mykolenko took a lot of stick but, for the first Chelsea goal, Ndiaye pointed to watch Neto and both Gueye and Palmer blocked his view of the ball so he couldn\'t see the pass and why he reacted so late. Keane could see everything yet his positioning and flat-footedness proved fatal.Mykolenko was poor for the second Chelsea goal but him getting skinned like that was a rarity and once again Keane and Gueye could have bailed him out but both were poor. Some of the highest goal and assist wingers, like Semenyo, Wilson, Salah, Mbuemo and Kudus, all got very little change from the Ukrainiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan unlike the other full backs they faced. Indeed Saka is probably due a performance against Myko as he has only ever scored one goal when he has been on the pitch.The cries that Dewsbury-Hall would have made a difference are fanciful as, against the other Champions League teams we faced, we lost all four by an aggregate of 11-1. He was poor in all of them.As for the criticism of Barry, he was one of nine players who were poor yet once again gets singled out. Twice he got into good positions. The first, he was unlucky that the keeper took it away from him, and the second, Tarkowski unbelievably chose to go for goal from that angle when Barry would have had a tap-in.The lack of service was once again criminal and I\'d love to know the striker people want who would score goals in Moyes's set-up.

We will have the B team in a few positions for the Arsenal game. Any more injuries and we are really in the do da, we are well in it already.Nice to see your still here, Darren.Paul @ 18, Murphy was just about the best British player ever. I used to watch him as a kid when Saints played Wigan. Him and Mick Sullivan were certain to get sent off every derby fixture. We had Boston but Murphy was the ultimate player you wanted on your side in a battle.

Thought the same john. But the ball retention will be horrific.

Tough games ahead, regardless of the opposition.I just hope Wolves get a win before we play them. You know how generous we can be!

If we are really short of numbers, Moyes may have to play both Barry and Beto. Not ideal, but may keep their centre-backs busy and we can concentrate on keeping their wingers closed down.We may benefit with free kicks or corners.
