He would have to be blowing JK away in training to get ahead of Martins, Owen and Viduka.
It'd be nice to see him get a fair bit of game-time coming off the bench, if we can afford to (i.e. if we're comfortable enough, and it's worth taking one of the aforementioned forwards off). For what it's worth PhysioRoom has him down as doubtful for the Stoke game.
Same goes, in all seriousness, for Nile Ranger if he's still playing well at reserve level. And LuaLua.
RM - We are in a relegation fight we cant be giving game time away in the PL for players to adjust or grow as we have to wing games or at least not get beaten. Wegner rarely f***s around in PL by giving his League cup kids a run out for 10 or 20 mins in the PL.
Hear Hear. We are not in a position to gamble on those unproven yet in the Premier League.
I agree mostly - but if we're three or four goals up with ten minutes to go, I see no harm.
Although I do admit, there's more chance I'll win the lottery this weekend - and I haven't even bought a ticket.
