Farke saying that Gudmundsson is out with an Adductor injury.

Likely that he'll slot Justin in at left-back.

For me, Gudmundsson has done very well for us, but it was always a risk trying to go a full season with one recognised left-back.

In contrast, we have 4 goalkeepers, 3 right-backs, 4 CBs and 5 DCMs.

I wonder if our recruitment team will see the light before the end of the window?

Would imagine with Don it is heavily influenced by how much we were the nearly men?

Weren't we runners up in the league 4 or 5 times for a start?

Five times.

Not definitely out, James.

Farke
"The group that was available for the last game is more or less the same. A little question mark over Gabi, who is struggling with an adductor problem."

"Gabi Gudmundsson is struggling after the last game with a bit of an abductor problems, so we have had to leave him out of training today.

"He's important for us, I of course hope he's available. A little question mark over his availability but apart from that everyone came through [the last game] without problems."

Hopefully he's ok Leon.

Still highlights what I've been saying since summer.

Been reading elsewhere on here that no Grealish for them, that has to be a positive for us as he appears to be their main creative outlet.

Definitely out, stress fracture in his foot.

Great analysis

Perri
Justin
Gudmundsson
Ampadu
Rodon
Struijk
Bornauw
Stach
DCL
Aaronson
Gnonto

Well this post is out of context now, makes it look like I'm praising E&B and not joking with CJay

If we can get a win at Everton we may go above Spurs and Bournemouth and put further distance between ourselves Forest and West Ham.

If Forest and West Ham lose and we win that's gonna be a real hammer blow for them and a further boost to our confidence.

But, if Forest win and we lose they will go level on points with us. If West Ham win and we lose then they will cut the gap to 5 points with 15 matches left.

I also think if those two win and we lose that will be a platform for them to pull us back into the relegation battle.

Spurs, Bournemouth and Palace are all in danger of being dragged down to the cellar, so they will be feeling the pressure.

So, for me it's vital that we win or at the worst draw at Everton. We have the luxury of knowing what West Ham and Forest have done before we kick off.

I'm gonna be cheering on Sunderland today and Brentford tomorrow. We need to keep our positive momentum on track.

[STLWhite]

Not sure Farkes target of 38 points will be enough this season. Might need 43 to survive .

Usually teams at the bottom struggle to string results together, so Farke could still be correct with 38 points.

The wins for Forest and West Ham this weekend will have given them real hope and confidence. Counting the Cup match, West Ham have now won 3 in a row, which isn't something a team getting relegated would typically be capable of.

[The Subhuman]

Palace are in serious fade, they may have 3 points more than us and Forest but they don't look like getting a win anytime soon. ... if they don't get a grip soon they're favourites for 3rd bottom

This is the first fan channel I've seen actually acknowledge that we've got some decent players this season. It feels like players like Stach and Ampadu fly under the radar for some reason when they've looked every bit like they're up to this standard.

Big love for Calvert-Lewin & praise for Aaronson too.

Plenty of Leeds chat from 1min 53secs onwards.

[Carrick Dave]

I think if we win this one we're safe. Kick in the cojones for Wham & Florist.

Anything else and we're biting our nails till May.

Are you saying this is a big 15 pointer ?

[Sean_Nile]

And selling their best defender to City doesn't help.

Wow - I think that's a bit premature, with West Ham and Forest now going well....
