Still think Dalglish isn't right the manager for Carroll.

I'd be happy enough with Ridgewell, only as cover though. I'd like to think we would bring someone else in as well to play CB, but one who's properly equipped to play in the PL. Like Yorkie's said, a player who would ideally fill in for Colo if he's injured/suspended. As it stands, Williamson and Colo (in January anyway) will be the first choice pairing. Add this someone else, Ridgewell (and maybe Perch/Kadar) and we'll be fine I reckon.

Would be excellent if Yakubu scored another 4 goals next weekend

Aye probably.

Gerrin.

If the score stays as it is at FT then a point for Parky surely.

What if there is no alternative? Kadar is fit? He is but he isn't highly rated by Pardew apparently. I'd certainly start Kadar given our current situation.

With our current squad size, nope. Qualification should give us a fair bit of money, could be able to sign a couple of players (maybe). knew the answer, when I asked . I think it would be a step too far for this squad. and I just dont see Ashley improving the squad enough.

Howay Fulham.

And Obertan and Lovenkrands do? Tbf, Obertan does do a fair bit of tracking back. Not really effective admittedly, but at least he tries.

A Fulham win would do very nicely.

If we see Alan Smith at any point on Saturday

Actually I think Pardew is saying that "there'll be big departures in January" so that he can avoid another Carroll situation ("they can put as many bids as they want, Andy is staying"). I think Pardew's quotes are, in a way preparing us, for the worst possibly

Despite what Pardew's said, can't see anyone leaving in January really Summer however.....

Not making any case for anybody, just stating the facts. Ryan Taylor is a better all round player than Enrique that's for sure. Errrr, nice

Aye, I can live with two weeks as well. Still think he has an outside chance for the Swansea game though. If not, the West Brom game is probably the game Colo should aim for. You never know, we may even see Williamson and Colo playing together against West Brom.

The lack of Santon is more than likely down to Pardew wanting some continuity in defence. Now that that's been broken due to injuries, I fully expect Santon to be starting games soon.

Smiths kids maybe ? I have a Smith shirt from the Championship season. I do not know why. Pretty much just ashamed and hide it in the closet. That kid does not f*** around. Tut tut.

Jonas could get the captaincy actually. Well liked and doesn't give up/always gives 100% so could lead by example.
