    You can't legislate for injuries though. But you do wonder if there's something psychological with him.

    If Dawson is a lengthy lay-off then we're back to the bare bones again at CH for some time.

    The good news is that we only have 2 more games this month and 3 in March.

    It's a bit of a bugger that we take injuries, I mean, that just shouldn't happen in football, should it? But, seeing as it does, we should have endless specialists waiting for their turn. Oh, wait, do we have cover? Has Silva got his own view on where our priorities are?

    Who knows what the Head Coach is thinking, being so stupid as to send Bruce out on loan and then keeping a clean sheet against Liverpool. What a ****, hey. <doh>

    A huge 2" shorter than James Chester.

    Mascherano, smaller still. There'll be more.

    Height is useless without the right footballing nous in a CB, but a player can do a job with the right nous and a lack of inches.

    But, to be fair, at this level, only really as a stop gap, which is what is being discussed.

    Cannavaro was only 5'9". You'd think height was some mandatory prerequisite or something.

    I appreciate that we're talking about a stop gap, but on that basis I'd still put him second last to who I'd want at centre back, with only Maloney behind him.

    I've never seen him play at CB so I really don't know.

    I only saw Lenihan play one game and he looked a really good right back.

    It must be heart breaking to lose your promising future to injury.

    Neither has anyone else, because he's a dwarf.

    He's always looked good for us, I suspect someone is going to pick up a bargain in a free in the summer.
