  I can't remember where I read it yesterday and I didn't read the article because I get irrationally cross about it but the headline said that AC is sunning himself abroad at the moment.

  Lets hope he has a storming last two or three games at the end of the season, so someone come in with an offer that cannot be refused to take him off our hands.... ;wink

  Trying to figure out if Byram is injured and "will be missing for the rest of the season", as Claret & Hugh reported (http://www.claretandhugh.info/moyes-hit-by-massive-injury-double-blow), or it is just a rumour. He is not even mentioned as injured on Physioroom (https://www.physioroom.com/news/english_premier_league/epl_injury_table.php#c20). Does anybody know anything about it?

  It's Hugh Southon so every chance it's rubbish.
  
  But it's also West Ham so every chance it's entirely true.

  Physioroom only aggregate reports from elsewhere in the (mainstream) media.

  Reid out for the rest of the season and Byram maybe joining him.

  Can't even play Kouyate there as we have no CMs to cover him.

  Oggy and Ginge are our first choice pairing at the moment and both should be fit for Saturday.

  Testing times. Can we recall Oxford, Burke? Can anyone else step up at thus this crucial time?

  You've summed up the problem right there. Our squad is so thin that if we are short on CB's, we take Rice out of midfield and then become short on CM's/DM's.
  
  We then become short on CM's so we play a RB (Zabaleta) in CM.
  
  Byram then gets injured and we are now short on RB''s.
  
  Then we move Kouyate to CB. Etc.
  
  I feel Zab can do a job in CM, and Rice is pretty versatile too. However when half of your team are playing out of position that's when the problems start (even if they can do a job there). I think it's fine to play a player out of position if he can do a job in there but it becomes problematic when we have 2 or more players in the team that are also playing out of their favoured/natural position.

  Welove ;ok
  
  With a squad as brittle as ours, we desperately needed to strengthen in January. Now we find ourselves in an all too familiar position of scratching around for a match-day 18 in the midst of a relegation fight.

  Kouyate can step in as centre back. He may even play better there than he has in midfield the last few weeks.

  Ginge went off early in the Dagenham friendly match.
