    You've got four players out, one I've never heard of, and one suspended.

    We've got ten out. Get on with it.

    Kaboul, Seb, Catts, Rodwell, Matthews = 5, 3/4 would be probable starters. The other issue is that theyre all cb/cm, leaving those positions very exposed. How many of your ten are really affecting your team this much? Not criticising, genuinely asking

    Cisse
    Williamson
    Haidara
    Good
    Lascelles
    Aarons
    Oberton
    Taylor
    Rivière
    Krul

    Probably only four or five of them pushing for a place on the first team, but thanks for your genuine question. <ok>

    Nice one fella. I've just plugged it for you as you know. I put the match preview up tomorrow and I plug all the active articles 4 or 5 times a day up till kick off so I'll be putting it out there.

    Your article has been read 215 times so far today. I'll keep you up to date with your stats so you have an idea on the number. Not read it yet, just a flying visit so will read it later. You planning a follow up fella? We need more writers and articles.

    4 or 5 of them would push for a place. We've got 5 out and we look unworkable. Christ our squads are ****ing awful<laugh>. Said it at the start of the season. Nice for our teams to prove me wrong :/

    Only 3 of those players would be "first teamers" in my opinion. The rest are either back up or should be shipped out. We are a couple of injuries away from total disaster although somehow Rob Elliot has pulled a couple of good performances out of his backside and covered for Krul's (who has been shakey this season) absence.

    Well I'd say there's only Cisse and even then he's very inconstant who performs in clumps. I think your squad is ****e, have done a for a long time.

    Arrons like Watmore has long way to go and nothing more than potential. You've squad of Injured players who could leave tomorrow if owned them. I said 4/5 because Somb said and it worked for the the discussion.

    So Cisse's injured then. Krul used to start but on recent form isnt a shoe-in.The rest are a pile of horse dump that you wont miss for one second. Kaboul-Catts-Larsson would all start if it was up to me (although many perhaps wouldnt pick last year's poty Larsson for some reason). Id also have Rodwell as 1st in line to replace either CM and, in our current predicament, 1st in line to replace which ever one of our CB's is out. Not trying to be awkward but we are far more hindered by these 4 being out than ur by the 10, imo

    It ended at around 235 last night, you've had 66 so far today but I don't think it's been plugged yet today(off to do that now). Fancy getting something off your chest submit another fella.

    Cisse isn't or shouldn't be a first team player. Arrons has done more than any other winger in our team and while he is only potential, he is a first team player. I'd also have Haidara in for Dummett however both are still shocking! Krul is a first team goalie but I'd be loathed to drop Elliot at the moment.

    Both our squads in general are utter crap. Our first 11 isn't too bad and should be performing a little better than it is doing. Mid table at best though. Major overhaul needed, preferably starting with defence and a certain frizzy haired clown!

    Could sure do with Aaron's. He is a little fire cracker who actually does something for us. The rest of your post is spot on though mate.

    Both clubs are an utter mess and need to be run far better than they are.

    Exactly, both teams do have quality and at full strength each team has half a very good team, but the weak are too weak in both squads.

    One of our targets, Collins, has signed a two year extension at West Ham.

    We have such history of doing this with key players playing them before fully fit, they break down and injurwd for weeks - let's hope BSA is more patient - Gomez is still better than am unfit liability which would be Catts - the frustration would get to him - good chance of red card
