Injury to Rees is tough, but Croft and Haskell are must-haves and there are plenty of contenders for the third spot (my first choice would be Lipman). 10, 12 and 13 are problem areas in my view, and have been since 2003. Not sure Flutey has done enough to retain his place. Haven't been able to catch a Gloucs game lately so don't know how Barkley is doing, but JSD (on the odd occasion he's fit) and Tindall must be in the running too, and I would put all of them ahead of Noon.
