More Woe For Roeder
Glenn Roeder is wondering when he is ever going to be able to field a recognisable back four again.
Craig Moore, Titus Bramble, Olivier Bernard, Stephen Carr, Celestine Babayaro and Nobby Solano were all missing for the Bolton match.
GLENN ROEDER: "To be perfectly honest I cannot put a comeback date on Moore, Bramble, Bernard or Carr.
"Babayaro has had a scan on his hamstring injury and it revealed that there is a grade one tear which will keep him out for two or three weeks.
"Moore has broken down and this is probably due to all the previous hamstring injuries he has suffered in his career.
"Bramble is only back in very light training - and I mean very light - and we don't really know when he will be back. The same applies to Bernard, who is having an operation on his hip.
"And as far as Carr is concerned, he is keeping physically fit, but there is still bruising on his foot and he cannot strike a ball. His return is open-ended - it could be tomorrow or weeks.
"Solano has a chance for Saturday, but if not he should make Manchester United on Monday."
