We get sweet FA from the FA.

The only way they would have overturned it would have been if it was a Wet Spam loanee playing his last loan match before he went back...

To manage the holes left by the suspensions of Doyle and Flynn I recokon that DW will resort to the following:
(Unless he dips into the loan market - which I think is a remote possibility)

Have Hill and Williams on the left
McMahon and Westlake on the right
McDonald and McAlistair in the centre
He will use the Cofie / Blackman axis to begin with up front

That's a little defensive to say the least - but I think he will want to keep it tight to begin with in these next three games in an attempt to protect the current league position.

However, there are still some alterations he can make with thisset-up

Use Cofie as a wide player and have Blackman and Cresswell as the main strikers.
Bring Miller into a wide position (he seems to use him in this way, anyway) as a change.
Have Chappell and McFazdean on the bench to add some speed and trickery later on in a game.

Kitson is probably a few weeks away from any realistic level of fitness to be more than an impact sub for 10 mins.
