Lescott

[Nick]

Needs some praise. Been quality recently, my MOTM yesterday probably and always feel sorry for him that he never gets the praise when he does well.

[Biamp]

He has been in great form recently, I hope he will push it up now while Vinnie suspended.

[Esky]

Man of the match for me too - was unbeatable defensively and is looking more assured on the ball than he has been before.

[Slim]

It's a worry for me, thank god Vinnie is only gone for one game because I am really concerned with our depth at centrehalf. Kolo has looked all out of sorts since his return and while it may be down to a lack of regular football, filling in should be his normal role this season and Savic is young and I am still unsure on him.

I think in January we need real competition for Vinnie and Lescott, if Kolo moves to France this may make the move a lot smoother, although there is always the risk of alienating Yaya who we really don't want to lose.

[gaudy]

why is vinny only gone for 1 game?

[Slim]

For the 100th time, a professional foul is a one game ban. Violent conduct is 3.

If Kolo were to leave in January and, as a consequence, Yaya was so disaffected by this that he moved on as well, I wouldn't mind getting Neven Subotic to replace Kolo but who the deuce would/could we get to adequately fill Yaya's boots ??

With the spectre of FFP hanging over their/our heads, surely the men in suits wouldn't be tempted to not replace him ??

Yaya will be away for 6 weeks come January.....I think we will miss him BIG TIME.

We're gonna need Milner to properly command a place when Yaya goes. Fortunately we do have NDJ, Barry and Milner. Hopefully Hargreaves will be up to scratch by then. Possible loan signing too?

Razak might come back a better player as well.
