Personally I would like to see Dossevi up there with Vince. His pace, tenacity and skill combined with Vince's aerial presence could work very well.

How long is Charlie out for?

Don't know yet. Depends if it was straight forward pop out and in dislocation, or whether there is any other damage. I think they'll leave it for a few days to settle down before making a diagnosis so I doubt we'll know before Monday/Tuesday.

Anyhow, googling around it seem it could be 8 - 12 weeks for it to properly heal assuming no complications/surgeory required. But I don't know if there is more they can do to protect it and allow him to play sooner.

I think that in these situations it's best to ask "What would Andy King do?".

LJF upfront anyone?

It depends on the formation Wilson chooses to use but if he perseveres with this diamond shape, I'd put Ball up front as a straight replacement for Charlie and play Dossevi in "the hole", perhaps dropping Prutton to accomodate JPM and add a little width. If we revert to 4-4-2 then Dossevi for Austin, Vince and Dossevi can form a gallic partnership

prob need to get a goalscorer in, pericard and dossevi may click but 50 goals from paynter and austin will be a huge gap for them to fill

Havnt been impressed with Ball.but this could be his chance to play as an out and out forward.

This may be a blessing in disguise as Austin was never going to be dropped to give a different option up front. We may find that Dossevi and Pericard are the Paynter and Austin of last season.

Ha Ha! Ace.

Is Van Der Linden still without a club? He always used to shine when thrown forward by the mercurial King.

The guy next to me spotted what looked like Charlie stood next to our dugout during the celebrations at the final whistle, and he wasn't wearing a sling and appeared to be moving both arms. If it was him it would appear that it isn't that bad and hopefully he will only be out for a couple of weeks.

In the meantime, Dossevi to partner Pericard. Be nice for them both to get the opportunity to play a full 90 minutes.

Mercurial is a perfect word for Andy King! Cheesy

Start with Pericard and Ball - Dossevi on the bench.

My 6 year old said he was down by the dugout at the end and I told him that it couldn't have been him because he'd be at the hospital by now, maybe I owe him an apology?

I think I'd probably go Pericard and Dossevi initially.

Dossevi for me. He looks like a very good player. Just a bit small but when you have Pericard up there with him it could work well.
