You want to send Tierny out on loan?! Think left back is sorted. Tierny to start with Drury as cover.

Birmingham have got a shed load of ''quality'' players - some of them must be ''Lambert-able!"

It wasn''t that long ago that was the way everyone was talking abbout Zak Whitbread...?!

Did anyone see the Everton/Newcastle pre season games? Holt was out injured and Jackson/Martin played up front together. Worked out quite well and saw some of the same again today, but seperatly. Jackson has an amazing leap for such a small guy, and would say he may even have got more headers than Holty. Might work with him as target man, no one will suspect it and Martin can still play off the ''big man''.

We were definatly playing 4-4-2 in the first half. Wes was alongside crofts in the middle with Korey and Lappin out wide. This didn''t work at all as they had 5 in midfield, Wes seemed scared to get forward, Crofts seemed scared to drop deep a-la Diamond. Second half was more of a lopsided 4-4-2. Wes playing pretty much whereever he wanted to and with a pacey outlet in Mac it actually gave Burnley something to deal with rather than just wait for us to give them the ball.
