    Best he's played or us so far, thought he was superb and the lad is strong as an Ox. He brushed Bassong off twice as if he wasn't there and he's a unit himself!

    First touch has come on leaps and bounds as well.

    Start him and Fletch vs Chelski I say.

    Have to agree. Anyone else think Frazier on the right might be an idea too? I remember before his injury that was the only position he could get a start.

    Wickham was man of the match, rose was canny but the big lad galvanised the team with his effort.

    keep him in next week but ffs lets go two upfront and have a go at them.

    Agree, I thought Gardner has a canny second half as well, the closing down was excellent and much more like when Marty first took over.

    I agree would start him up front with fletcher.

    Can we accommodate sess somewhere else in the team?

    Must start next week.

    Rose, as always excellent, and I will also give Gardner, who I've been vocally ****ed off with of late credit as well.

    Larsson out, Sess into CM.

    Remember the cross he put in for Sess against Norwich last season?
    I'd like to see him have a go on the right his pace will be an asset for us. Wickham and Fletch is a must aswell!
    I can see us packing the midfield out against Chelski though unfortunately !

    Not against this, & Frazier would run through a burning building for the badge.

    I'd settle for that as well!

    Whickham looked more confident, more determined and more of a premier league footballer than we've seen from him, hopefully he's ready now.

    Isn;t Fletcher injured?

    That.s why he didn't come out for the second half?

    Connor Wickham won more headers in thAt second half than the front two have won all season. It totally unsettled Norwich. As unlike the first half they had to worry about our kicks upfield.

    For Me this part if the game where Fletcher lacks. He doesn't really win the lofted ball up top.

    However I think he could run off Wickham a treat and will get a lot more opportunities.

    Now I am not saying Connor is all singing all dancing. However he provides us with a vital outlet that allows us to get up the pitch.

    Sess must be moved to accommodate him or dropped.

    This.

    McClean was dire in the first half, however you have to applaud him for trying and never actually hiding from the ball, even if he's played ****e this season, he's always trying to make something happen.

    Sess never spends much time behind the striker anyway

    Frasier on the right is fine as an impact sub for now as I would play sess there. If sess can't play there then I would have no problem slotting him in. If only I could pick the team hAha!

    I couldn't possibly, in any way, shape or form, agree more with this statement Tony.

    I think Connor & Fletch could be dynamite together, based on that second 45.

    Ankle problem for Fletcher, niggling through the week but not serious. Id agree with Wickham with Fletcher but Chelsea although out of form have the best midfield in the league so can't see 4-4-2.

    Larsson needs dropping he is woeful at the minute, compete liability.


    id go;

    ................................Mignolet.......................
    bardsley..........Cuellar......kilgallon.......rose
    .........................Vaughan...Colback...............
    ..........sessegnon......Gardner...........Johnson
    .................................Fletcher.............................
