Mo Susoho has joined Hector Kyprianou, George Nevett, Ryan De Havilland and Rio Adebisi on the sidelines leaving Ferguson (and me!) with a very restricted choice.
I have still managed to make a couple of key changes to my starting line-up, plus one very obvious one. I’d also have dropped three defenders if there were any sensible alternatives.
5. OSCAR WALLIN
The one defender to actually be worthy of his place in the opening two matches. He will be even better when he moves to the right centre-back position. Photo: Joe Dent
6. ARCHIE COLLINS
I'm beginning to wonder if the captaincy is weighing Collins down a bit. At a time when less gifted teammates need some help his own form has slumped compared to last season. Undroppable though especially with Mo Susoho's injury. Photo: Joe Dent
7. DONAY O'BRIEN-BRADY
No Kyprianou, Susoho or De Havilland means O'Brien-Brady is a shoo-in selection alongside Collins in midfield and to be fair he was far from the worst at Oxford on Tuesday. Photo: Joe Dent
8. KWAME POKU
I'm recalling Poku, but not as a winger as he has become predictable when out wide. He can play in this team as a number 10 and he's unlikely to be muscled off the ball as often as Joel Randall. Chris Conn-Clarke hasn't done enough to justify a start in this key role just yet. Photo: Joe Dent
