Was about to say we won't have to put up with the same physical threat from Swansea - then I read Graham outmuscled Hangeland for the 2nd goal

Shola off Smith on

Cheer up, we're bringing on Smith

Perch has started centre half about 4 times and every time we concede at least 3.

Here comes Sammy for Obertan

Demba danes

Oh fuck, goal from a corner. Hoolahan

Obertan getting bollocked again.

Wipe out with Bob Monkhouse there

No. Well. Oh yeah sorry, that must confirm it. Thanks.

No. Well.

Obertan really is terrible isn't he.

BBC Live Text knackered, SSN graphics not on the screen, no idea what's going on.

No centre halves in the 11 and Kadar doesn't even make the bench. See ya then.

Santon starting then, shit the bed, cupboards and wardrobe.

Jonas captain, blimey.

You do know there's automatic subs, right?

At least he'll be match sharp having turned out for Gateshead for the last couple of months.

He couldn't get international clearance, so he wouldn't have been very handy at all.

Cheers Dave, hadn't seen the exact quote. Having him back would be a massive boost, as well as Guthrie has done the back four had no protection really on Saturday.

Would still be five matches like. Reading that it sounds like total guess work. Just hope Williamson is back soon, we might just be able to get by against Norwich & Swansea, but WBA have Odemwingie & Long, who will rape the Perchy & friend combo.

Think Abeid's off qualifying for the Olympic or something, unless he's already back of course.

Year. That's why he said year.

Right back, occassionally.
