that's the challenge...find some bodies for cover. If Mancini can see some of these young guns in action vs Boro it will give him a better idea of how to face the month and the transfer market. Which means even if we play some youngsters and crash out of the FA Cup it might be fruit we harvest throughout the rest of the month in terms of making sure our buys are focused, and quickly achievable.

Woah ! Easy fellas. Slow down with money spending. We have some good youngsters coming through as well and I'm sure Bobby Manc will also give them an even handed chance in the training sessions. I can see Mancini going for Maicon and Sobotic, the later being a very good defender and only 21 with good experience so far, but there has to be some quality coming through right now from the reserves and the academy. Shame we've only seen them on the odd occasion this season. Anyway now , with all these games it's their chance too. btw have you all seen how many youngsters Everton are playing because they have to ? and their youngsters aren't playing badly either. Rodwell in particular is playing very well.

This one is special because of the cup games for sure though and could keep serious dreams alive but it's in the league where every bunch of games will always seem like they are going to decide things.
It's all about being at the top or at least challenging for it which is where we are or think we are now. I daren't look at the 4 or 5 matches after the list after January but no doubt the standard of the teams we play will have gone up but whoever they are a defeat is a defeat. Once at the top you just cannot afford many so every game will feel the same , a must win!
But with the confidence we will have after January plus a signing or two to add to the quality , players getting fit and Ade and Kolo back there will real reason for excitement. And that's without mentioning Robinho finding his form! He will won't he?

We are in a great position because we have the money to strengthen but Zurich is quite right about the kids. We have shouted long and hard about our feted Academy, maybe now is the time for it to show its worth in the 1st team.
We may laugh at the situation at the swamp where taggart has been forced to play his kids but each time they step out, they gain invaluable experience.
I am particularly disappointed that while SWP has been out, his natural successor Weiss has been overlooked.
