    It's the only thing we haven't tried!

    Nothing more to add

    I suspect Luongo back today after recovering from the International break and the arduous journey in first class from the Antipodes.

    I am never right about football and predict a sound loss tonight
    They have the player on fire in Abraham plus Gary O'Neil is still running games at 33. I would play Henry just for that reason
    If our team just focusses on cutting out supply then we have a chance ... why aren't we seeing any improvement there is my only gripe

    Not the only thing that's yet to be tried. For example, we could attempt midfield shape and movement that delivers more than two consecutive passes. It would be way too boring to watch again but I'm not convinced we manged a single three-pass move on Saturday. Henry can do all right when he has options in front of him but faced only with a hopeful long punt up to the BFG or a sideways pass we know what's going to happen. And to be fair, he probably reads the likely percentage of success in these options correctly. Yes I know our midfield falls apart under pressure but surely that's the most important thing JFH has to work on in training.

    Well probably like Jimmy, I don't know who our best 2 in midfield are for a game like this, but Luongo should be one. Hall doesn't look like he'll play tonight or for a while according to WLS. Hope Lynch don't play LB again and plays CB with Caulker.

    To be fair Borysiuk was pretty anonymous on Saturday and will probably be dropped but I blame Henry
    I'd like to see Borysiuk with Luongo
    I fear it will be Luongo and Karlos

    "Henry can do all right when he has options in front of him"

    you have to control it quickly , turn look up , see what's in front then make a decision
    I never see him look forwards
    there is no way Chery is not normally offering options

    I actually like the bloke just need a new plan
    then I'll sing you all a song from my seat

    Borysiuk tackles people and passes the ball forwards. Henry does neither.

    Henry is the current scapegoat IMO
    He is limited but what he does do well is hold position and snuff out play. The player has very good disapline IMO
    That's all that position is about
    I don't agree he can't tackle

    When a team is disjointed as we are as we concede from crosses too much then Henry's position is always going to look surplus and when a team is on it then his position again looks like he's not in the game

    IMO we have two weak flanks currently as Nines as shown us all that is where we are conceding

    On the bench tonight, as the merry-go-round continues. Score 3 days ago - you're dropped. Great assist 3 days ago - you're dropped. Missing in action 3 days ago - your in!
