Is this guy the new Berti Glauber? He's an attacking player, try him out wide given AJ is gonna be out for a while now. Replay against Notts County coming up. If thats not the perfect opportunity for a foreign young player to dip his feet in the water then i don't know what is.

Does Kolarov ever play a more advanced role in training? That could be an option with Zab at LB for some emergency width.

I agree this should be tried. Mentioned it yesterday.

He played his first 20 minutes last Wednesday after injury and they will look for a few more EDS appearances before he is considered for the big time. But he is in full training and it could be a couple of weeks I would guess before he might be considered ready.

As for Kolarov , no he doesnt play an advanced role in training but don't forget they don't play anything like "real" matches in training.It's all 5 or 7 a side type games on small pitches and in that of course he gets forward and as would imagine shoots a lot.

We're more likely to play zab and kolarov with both defending - notts county could be dangerous on the break, so no point being too adventurous.

Are we practising penalties, Douglas?
