Think I''ll take my boots Saturday!![/quote]

Yobo will be fit for Saturday I reckon, probably just a smokescreen to get him off that 8,000-mile round trip.

Olsson is having surgery at the end of the season, but should be okay to play through the pain until then.

Snoddy was withdrawn at half time as a precaution, and has the whole week to recover.

Wolfie almost played on Sunday, but ''just'' missed out. No international duty, so can''t see why he wouldn''t be available.

Gutierrez might be back, looking at this, which leaves just Turner, Bennett and Fer (even if it''s just a hamstring strain, doubt he''ll be ready).

I know a lot of this is conjecture, but I''d be very surprised if more than one of the top four names on your list weren''t available for selection on Saturday.

Feedthewolf,

You may well be right, still think I''ll take my boots though - could be an imrprovement!!!!!!!!!!!!

As someone I know says, "Why don''t they kick it at the goal!!"

If you''re taking your boots, maybe you should ask the ''someone you know'' to bring their sheepskin and tactics board... clearly the combined defensive ''qualities'' of Hughton, Calderwood and Trollope haven''t figured that out yet... ;)

Think we should be allowed a group of supporters who can lift the goal and move it around to catch the ball and then the oppo manager can complain that "Someone moved the goal posts".

Could be our best chance of getting one or two or three in the back of the net!

Other than that I''ll do my best to find someone resembling Malcolm Allison.
