    Just dawned on me that we have a number of strikers who I wonder if we'll see again other than as a cameo

    HH - most consistent and hard working of strikers who aren't playing. Hope we can use him again. Reliable and great in the air.

    Macheda - Don't see him getting any time at all. Just a bit ineffective I reckon.

    Campbell - Disapointing. But to be fair he has not had a steady go due to injury etc. hope he gets a chance.

    Bothroyd - think he has blown his chances. Had lots of minutes but no result. Will predict that he is done.

    Hulse - need I say anything?

    Thought Zamora was great against Everton. Super strong and held the ball up well. Like a Paul Furlong!!

    HH will definitely get a game at least off the bench when fit and will be vital if we go down.

    Macheda is a useless and lazy ****er and should be pissing about in United's reserves instead of poncing off us.

    Campbell would be useful in the Championship but hasn't looked the part in his few chances.

    Bothroyd- doubt he'll get another start but might be thrown on when we have no-one else to turn to.

    Hulse did well at Villa I thought and the ball never stuck up front after he went off. Still, we've probably seen the last of him.

    Oh and Agyemang.....think he is way down, but reckon he is a good impact sub.

    Because of injuries Cambell have never even had a chance. HH would be ideal sub for the corner kicks or free kicks if the service would be right. Bothroyd? Well ,i havent still gave up with him. Good substitute material i think. Hulse and Macheda hmmmmm....NO! Our upfront is filled with Cisse and Zamora and with large amount of good substitutes like HH ,Mackie ,Bothroyd and maybe Cambell our attack look quite promising.

    But in those sub appearances and the odd start including MK Dons he barely touched the ball. I know he did well for Blackpool but before that he'd never looked any more than an average Championship striker and I fear that's his true level.

    Biggest disapointment for me has been bothroyd. Was expecting commanding performances from him and some evil left footed screamers, but alas next to nothing.

    Just praying we can start zamora and cisee for the rest of the season...they have to put the frightners on EVERY team we are going to face...

    I'd fancy HH against Rio but i fear Vidic is just too f-ing good in the air.. they aint the quickest at the back though......oh sod it, we can turn man utd over cant we?!!:grin:

    I really hope we get through this season and then dispense with the dead wood. We have shed loads. If we are relegated, afraid we may still see the likes of hall and agyemang on the team sheet next season. Yikes!

    Macheda has been a massive disappointment. He has been given an opportunity which means knuckling down in training and in the reserve games, but he obviously hasn't been doing the business.
    DJC would like to see him given a chance when fit, but not sure it will happen.
    Zamora and Cisse number one pairing
    HH - a massive surprise this season. A welcome massive surprise and we have missed him when he has been out.
    Betty - someone I thought would do well but for whatever reason, it hasn't worked out
    That said, there have been too many changes going on at the club and IF these players are here next season, I hope they are given a chance (Macheda being the exception as he is on loan and I cannot see that being extended!)

    Dave, Vine and Hulse, they will end up leaving. Dave couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo, Vine has too many splinters in his arse from sitting in the bench, and Hulse - injured when we got him and has never really been 100% fully fit. Could easily see Clint Hill and Hulse ending up at Leeds.
