It's not confirmed no but he was taken off on 77 mins because of the ankle injury and will be assessed. More than likely will play though I reckon. Physioroom.com has him out - no date for return

of the week Has no return date on Physioroom.com - hopefully it's just a knock. Just a joke man, yesterday people asked where Marv was from before the match when squads were announced, to after it was noted that he had to pull out b/c of a knock, to after the match up until Pards said he had a knock and would be out for 2-3 weeks. Yeah, normally up to date but missed it all because I was at the game and just saw team news on sky sports in the ground. It's a real loss that he's out - Ben Arfa should be back around the same time, which is a shame as he could have used the extra few games to really cement his place. He did really well in the last few (even though we lost he was the bright point) - would have liked to see him with some quality around him.

Does anyone know why Marveaux wasn't even on the bench against Villa? If we are going to really 'attack them' as Pardew put it, then he must start! Also after last nights performance, Taylor will start ahead of Mbiwa. It's possible Mbiwa will go into defensive midfield, but Pardew has said it is clear to him that he is a CB or RB - he only really put him on because of the physicality of Villa in the second half, a move which paid off with an impressive tackle in the 6 yard box. Jonas needs to be on the bench, especially with Chelsea's mobility in midfield (and his shocking performances all season) - so Anita is a must to start as his work rate is fantastic. Cabaye was defensive midfield against Villa, and from what I gather Sissoko is an attacking midfielder (at least that's what Pardew set him as). I thought Sissoko did excellently defending and attacking before he ran out of steam. I'd put him as defensive, but I think Pardew will put Cabaye as defensive again. Krul Debuchy Taylor Colo Santon Cabaye Anita Marveaux Sissoko Gouffran Cisse Mbiwa will come on as sub again, to replace Perch (who is absent from my starting lineup).

Just got back - 3 points! But fuck me, it was nerve racking in the second half! Don't know what the fuck Pardew was thinking with those substitutions Sissoko was a massive plus though! Quality performance! Gouffran played well too. I know it's 3 points, but the second half performance (TACTICS) was shocking!

If Colo is playing, Willo won't make the bench! Gotta have faith that Pardew has learnt from his dreadful mistakes! Back 4 must be Debuchy MYM Colo Santon

Transferred all of them to Newcastle on Monday evening (FIFA) - shall I try Messi?!

YES BOY!!!!!

--------------------------------------- Krul --------------------------------------- Debuchy -------------- Mbiwa ----------- Coloccini ---------------- Santon -------------------------- Anita ------------ Sissoko --------------------------- - Gouffran ----------------------- Cabaye ---------------------- Marveaux - -------------------------------------- Cisse -------------------------------------- This team has lots of creative potential and looks solid at the back. With Marveaux and Gouffran swapping every now and again - the little Villa tykes won't know what to do! Really hoping these rumours about Colo not playing for us again aren't true! Praying for so many options, Willo won't even be on the bench!

Mbiwa as he is replacing Willo, but I'm really happy with all of them as they were all desperately needed!

You wait until tomorrow!

Hopefully he is utilised in the most effective (and successful) formation!

That was hilarious!!

Well done Bradford! Now come on we've got to take advantage of this!!

If Lambert got 'sacked in the morning' - what do you think the response would be in terms of our game? Good or bad?

Can't believe how close Bradford have been to getting another couple of goals!

Unbelievable isn't it As if anything is logical with NUFC!

As we're not sure about Sissoko (more so about Gouffran) - I'd suggest Mbiwa in def midfield as well. Krul Debuchy Taylor Colo Santon Mbiwa Cabaye Anita Gouffran Marv Cisse I reckon he'll sign and that's why i thought a diamond formation. If he doesn't then Anita where Sissoko was, Taylor where Mbiwa was, and Mbiwa as the DM. I like I thought this 'pre-contract' thing he has signed (or is going to sign) means that he will come in the Summer?

Beat me to it. The danger is their width and whipping those crosses in. We need to ensure cover is there, which means we need to completely change our 'defensive philosophy' - as in we have to stop defending like League 2 muppets!

Villa just conceded to a set piece corner - too bad we're currently shit at them!

We need to keep Colo and then we will actually have quality options at the back!

A win of course is an absolute must! Going to this, so praying for a great performance and GOALS (from us!!) !
