    A natural goalscorer.

    As well as Demba has done this year, he has wasted three clear cut chances a natural goalscorer would stick away with a plomb.

    Im talking totally free in the area against Wolves, had the perfect angle to just stroke it in the net....but hit wide. Criminal.
    Im talking in at goal v Citeh yesterday in the first half, perfect angle again to stroke in the far corner, hit it straight at Hart. Had to score.
    Im talking through one on one v Citeh yesterday, pretty lame effort which Gosling let him off the hook by following in.

    Ba has been great, but if we had a Defoe-esk striker alongside him, we'd put away them kind of clear cut chances.

    Bring on January.

    To be fair, we had a lot of injuries and they had none. On another day we might have brought on Tiote and Marveaux.

    Yeah true, I was being a bit unfair to prove my point really - midfield is an area we have good depth in now. God help us if any of our defenders get injured.

    Defensive cover is absolutely vital, I'm sick of Williamson and Taylor taking turns to have serious injuries, it just takes a bit of bad timing and then Perch is starting a run of games.

    Got to give them both credit though, they're considerate when they get injured, they wait till the other one is fit to start <whistle>

    lack of squad depth? Did you not see who replaced Cabaye yesterday, none of the top 4 teams could boast to have such a strong backup!

    we missed Tiote, Best, Obertan and a little bit of luck that's all.

    Worst part is what the **** happened to Kadar? This perilous injury situation would be a great time to have him on the bench ready to play, I've seen absolutely nothing to suggest he isnt good enough.

    With that assist, he can now add "playmaker" to his list of positions. Staggering versatility <whistle>

    He seemed to completely fizzle out. Williamson I'm not convinced is even good enough either, the number of times he put Coloccini in dangerous situations last season was staggering, all due to poor decisions too. If we get Pieters and a solid backup CB in January and then start to blood Santon, we'd have Simpson, R.Taylor and a new CB as backup which would boost my faith a lot.

    Now all we need is Pardew to bring him on as a striker and winger <laugh>

    I heard from the Forest fans he's actually a canny RW like.. <whistle>
