I'm still waiting for Zaniolo to do something of merit. If Watkins isn't right, I'd start Duran.

If need be, Duran  for me. He's looking lean, mean and goal hungry.

He knows he may not get many chances to play and will be desperate for a goal.

Cometh the moment, cometh the ...........

Watkins being out is a big problem.

Are there any pubs in Brum that will have the game on?

Duran is the deputy so he's the one who would step in for me if Watkins is unavailable, and he's already had some minutes this week so I reckon he's oven ready.

Says "muscle injury" for Watkins on the FPL site.

Will we ever have a full strength side this season? Although better to have it for the games after this one, I suppose.

Holy Trinity geezer said Buendia was dated for February/March on his Legia video, not sure where he got that info from.

I wasn't really thinking of Buendia and Mings, to be honest. Just that we've got Ramsey and Moreno back but Ollie is now out. I didn't expect to see Buendia or Mings again until next season, so it would be a bonus to get one of them back, even just for the last couple of months.

Ah right... will have to make do with watching it on my phone then!

If any one feels generous enough to drop a clue to one, please do.

It's a tight pitch which won't suit our expansive game

It's exactly the same size as our pitch
yeah but tight little ground , not the same at all in reality

Is this a riddle?

Tim, you’re being very optimistic thinking Watkins will be back in January. A Villa slight knock usually means it’s career ending!!

I reckon he'll move things around a bit and play Diaby in the Watkins role.
