I suspect Cox in for Edwards and Akpan for Morrison with Hector moving to centreback.

Won't happen though. Imagine we'll see Cummings at LB, Obita in the middle, and Taylor out wide.

Guthrie is injured I believe I read.

[leww_rfc]

I think I read somewhere that both Mackie and Ferdinand won't be ready for 2 weeks

I think this is probably about right. Certainly won't be far different, maybe at a push:

Gunter----Pearce-----Hector-----Cummings

Edwards---Taylor------Obita------Blackman

Bench: McCarthy, Cooper, Akpan, Kuhl, Tshibola, Stacey, Tanner (I think that's the most experienced bench we could put forward )

Either way, midfield is a bit of a disaster and the bench is terrifying.

Guthrie is out. OS squeezed it in on tomorrows preview. No quotes from Adkins. Our management over injuries for the last year seems to have been pretty poor, unless we are just really unlucky.

Team will be so unbalanced tomorrow. Slot Hector into CB and were looking at Akpan starting in CM... Hopefully they give Kuhl his debut.

Suspect you won't be far wrong there. Looking forward to seeing Hector provide us with a better balance at CB. Personally I would take the plunge, and give Kuhl his debut if Guthrie is unfit - in the long term, he could be the real deal as a specialist CM, and I think his passing would complement Akpan's strength and running.
