Heskey injured for a month.

I don't think Young did badly at all as the front-runner. Granted, we could hardly have him up there to hold the ball up, but in a way this might work in our favour as it would discourage us from hoofing it, which we were guilty of against Blues.

Where the fook is Salifou when you need him, in fact Ive heard Collymore has gone missing too ;-)

Against Burnley we still lumped it up to Young/Ireland even though we knew it would keep coming back.

True, and at the Fonz when he came on against Chelsea. However, I think we can still hope they're discouraged from hoofing it.

Its a shame about Heskey but If the Fonz doesn't get a run now he never will

Am I the only one who cannot read Phil from the upper holte's user name without going into I'm just Jenny from the block singing?

Not until now. Cheers for that.

I agree - I'd be hoping for Risso's team with the exception of Marc in for Albrighton.

I thought Marc was Albrighton.

[eamonn]

Also expect Albrighton to come back in for Ireland.

Not picking on you John but Ireland didn't play in our last game.

[Reality]

Gonna be 7 hours and a half without a goal then on Saturday. Fantastic. When you don't prepare you deserve fuck all.

I think he will be on the bench.  We looked more like winning the game on Sunday after Carew and Bannon came on and might have done given another few minutes or if they had arrived earlier especially Carew.  He looked lively and interested so he must start at Fulham with Fonz on the bench.  There will be more attacking (or are we supposed to call it offensive (yuk!) intent hopefully with Albrighton back to provide ammunition for Carew and Young.  But then I don't pick the team so probably neither Carew nor Albrighton will start and we'll play for 0-0 again.

is there any decent out of work striker we could offer a 3 month contract ?

[Shrek]

We cannot use extra training as an excuse, we have run out of steam half way through the season the last couple of years. Surely this is due partly too lack of fitness?!

[DrGonzo]

Where oh where will our next PL goal cme from...?  Answers on a band aid please...

i think mateja kezman just had a mutual termination of his contract with some french club...

he did alright when he was last in the prem (despite what the media said)... he had a 1 goal every 2 games in terms of goals to minutes ratio...
