Fixtures & Injuries: What do we do?

[Chimbo!]

Tottenham have 5 league games in 18 days just when an outbreak of injuries has erupted in the squad.

Away games to Norwich and Swansea are soon followed by home games against West Brom, Wolves and Everton. Accumulating points in this run of fixtures will be made even harder by the probable losses of Lennon, Van der Vaart and Defoe added to the certain absentees Dawson and Huddlestone.

How do we juggle what remains of our squad with the demands of the upcoming matches? Do we aim to play our 1st team each time or do we rotate heavily to keep everyone fit and fresh?

Can we be confident that the likes of Pienaar, Kranjcar and Pavlyuchenko will deliver in our month of need?

one thing for sure livermore wont go on loan until the end of january if at all.

we have to rotate from the bench more often than we do for these games.

corluka at RB and maybe livermorer at RM for norwich kaboul and gallas in CD sandro and modric in middle with parker on bench bale LM and rose or townsend to come on up ront ade and nico for vdv - kane on bench with walker

swansea bring in ledley for gallas, pienaar for RM and walker back to RB

have to use squad - some players especially parker need a rest to re charge would have him on bench for next 2 games and give sandro more game time.

just a thought
