Just read that Holy was back in training today, so will have to waigt and see on that one. Whittaker has a hip injury and will definitely miss the visit of Chelsea. I'd quite like to see E Bennett start (though I expect it will be R Martin), as he's played RB for us before and his pace could be a problem for the Chelsea defence.
I think bringing Benno on could be an option if City fall behind and have to chase the game. It isn't much of a risk, but could give Chelski problems with him overlapping with Snoddy up front. Sometimes you have to gamble and CH, like PL, has shown a willingness to do so when necessary. OTBC!
Great holt is back Hope Whitaker is not out for too long Merry Xmas everyone. Back to the Xmas pudding <hic>
I rather hope that Morison gets to start rather than Holt, mainly because I think the more time Holty's injury is given the better, but also because I think Man City are more vulnerable at the moment than Chelsea and I'd like to see us put out a full strength attack on Saturday. Added to which, I really think Morison needs more time on the pitch to get back to his best, so another start today would help in that respect too.
I wish someone would wheel Morison out of the gate.. I've tried to give him time..but he's lazy and uninterested. If i was always a sub and given the chance of a start as per West Brom, I would have run myself into the ground, but no, Hughton was shouting at him to move. He also started against Villa, scored one and missed an easier chance. It's only my opinion but i reckon **** him off in Jan if Hughton brings another in.
Ratty, I saw you on twitter singing happy birthday to yourself, so let me say many happy returns of the day, and keep your shirt on!
I was wishing someone else happy birthday Dave, mines not till May, but thanks all the same.. Gives me an excuse to have a pre birthday beer.. Cheers.
Latest is that both Holt and Morison are injured for the match at WHU and Johnson is supended. IMO, I'd like to see Kane start up front and Howson come in for Johnson. Hopefully Holty won't even be considered for our trip to Posh to give him time to regain full fitness for the visit of Newcastle.
Where did you see that JR? I've only read that Holt and Moro will have to be assessed before the West Ham game, but perhaps CH always says that!
