Jonas Gutierrez Ruled Out Of West Brom Game

We really have got quite a thin squad and how many players are out injured now? 8 with tiote definately not playing. Are the medical staff in the north east all smackheads or something?

 

Thanks. I hope he is not loaned out next seaon because I think he could be back up to Ben Arfa.

 

I think our training ground is partly responsible for the number of injuries we have had because when it gets cold the ground gets harder which puts more stress on the player's muscles and joints. Thankfully that are installing underground heating which should help remedy the problem.

 

I think Smith might be fit, so I would probably play him, it may be his last game and I'd quite like him to get a good send off:

Krul

Simpson
Taylor
Collo
Enrique

R. Taylor
Barton
Smith
Ferguson

Ameobi
Lovenkrands

Subs:
Harper
Tavernier
LuaLua
Richardson
Kuqi
Ranger
Airey


Dont think its fair to drop R Taylor, he played well against Chelsea.

 

Oh well long as Fergie stays fit

 

Vuckic is still injured according to NUFC.COM so I reckon Pards will start with this...


---------------------Krul-------------------

Simmo--------Taylor-------Colo---------Jose

Lover--------Barton------Raylor-------Fergie

------------Ameobi-----Sammieobi-----------


I'd very much expect Smudger to make an appearance at some point, if only for sentimental reasons.

 

How about

---------------------Krul-------------------

Simmo--------Taylor-------Colo---------Jose

LuaLua--------Barton------Richardson-------Fergie

------------Ameobi-----Sammieobi-----------

 

Wouldn't mind seeing it but our midfield would get spanked I reckon, not worth the risk of demoralising them on the lasst game of the season. Raylor's gotta be in there

 

I think I'd go with

Krul

Tavernier (see if he can show Simmo how to close down) Taylor, Colo, Jose

Kazenga, Raylor, Barton, Ferguson

Shola, Lovenkrands

We are still challenging for a top 10 finish so bringing on the youth like we did v Chelsea but early enough in the 2nd half to get a run out is a good idea.

Think it's already been mentioned but Kuqi for the winner and an exquisite swan dive to follow, been impressed with his attitude for a burly pub looking striker

 

Drop LuaLua for Raylor then

 

I think it will probably be the same team we played against Chelsea but with Raylor replacing Jonas on the right and Smith coming into the centre of midfield.

 

How long will it take till good ol' Smudger gets himself booked!

I'm going for 4 minutes

 

When he is on 50k a week he probably feels he needs to do something.

I will go with 9 mins.

 

Are we taking wagers on this? I think 12 mins...

 

He'll be off by then mate

 

I think it'll take him that long to get close enough to anyone to foul them!

 

Think Smith will come in for Jonas and switch back to a 4-4-2 with Raylor on the right. That will ruin Jonas's 100% appearance record this season.

 

Maybe we should have him on the bench and then in the last minute of the games throw him on, he can just lie near the corner flag.

 

Just bring Lovenkrands in for him.

Good to see Posh win tonight, I want Huddersfield to go up, but I'd be pleased if Peterborough went up as well, their fans are top draw.

 

Lovenkrands was already in the starting XI. Agree about Posh though, its win win for the L1 play offs.
