I assume by now that Doherty has been thrown into the chipper at Hotspur Way, minced up and spread on the training pitches as fertiliser, so I can't see him starting in a bucket.
So it has to be Tanganga Sanchez Rodon DaviesOrSess as a back 4. Assuming we want to get game time into those guys.
Very hard to judge how strong a team to put out, but if we just throw on all the rejects, we'll probably get beat and the negativity persists into the GoonerDrome.
Expecting some rotation, but not rotating out every player that will start the NLD.
We've had a terrible time with injuries and the quarantine to add to that. Feels like any of our starters for the NLD getting injured in this one would be a big blow. But at the same time I can't see us putting out a fully rotated side. As you say, need some more positivity in terms of performances and results. The backup players might not get much nearer to a start but playing in a full changed team.
I think Nuno will take some of that risk of injury. But probably look to rest a couple of those that had a demanding international break and then right into several starts for us.
