    No, we shouldnt rush him back. Whatever the score, bring him on after an hour though.

    No we should bring him in as a 2nd half sub in place of either Ba or Best maybe...

    More to the point, should he play against Karl Henry ( that well known pub player) in the Wolves match?

    I think there is little point holding him back if he's ready. He is going to get fouled at some stage.

    I also think Jonas needs dropping for Marv

    I think Raylor needs Jonas. Maybe look at dropping Obertan for Marveaux even though he is a lefty??

    no he should come in for 10 at the end of we're winning. Marveaux needs a break, he can do a cameo instead of obertan and then start the following match. asking the question in first place is kinda ******ed, sorry. He hasnt played a competitive league match in a year.

    Agree with the first point but I wouldn't drop Jonas until we have Santon available. Jonas still helps out a lot defensively.

    Hes been out nearly a year.. playing in a cup game against a lower division team does not mean he is ready, not to mention we would be throwing him in against a rather physical team... it just increases that chance of a knock causing a reaction or a post injury muscle strain or pull that players are prone to picking up.

    Defo use him as a sub.

    1. Don't want to rush him back
    2. Should stick with the team as it is - we're unbeaten!

    Well it's Wolves next so at some point we have to get him in and I'd defo not pick that game, I know what you're all saying but if he's fit and ready why not given are complete nothingness in creativity. 3 points on Saturday and we are flying.

    I think we should start him but take him off as soon as he feels the strain, maybe after 60 minutes or so. We need a good start against Blackburn because they're very good at shutting up shop if they go 1-0 or 2-0 up and bringing HBA on afterwards won't be as effective.

    I think we should use a softly softly approach and just bring him back gradually until he gains full match fitness and regains his confidence.

    Bring him on for the last half hour, regardless of the score. If we're winning then it will give the whole crowd and players a great lift as he's bound to get an almighty reception and that could see us hammer home our advantage if we have one. If we don't happen to be winning when he comes on, the buzz will help spur the whole team on to victory hopefully.

    Yes we need an early goal Saturday against Blackburn so we need Ben Arfa to create.

    Ben Arfa to replace Jonas
