He's in a premier league relegation battle now, not the champions league. Not to mention he looks nowhere near match fit. No problem with him getting longer as a impact sub and building up sharpness but it would be a mistake to start him on sunday in my opinion. In another thread you've said you wouldn't start Cisse either, so I can only assume you would persist with Mitrovic despite him offering absolutely no goal threat whatsoever? Ive not said anything about Cisse for Sunday previously but I do feel that way as he's been out for a long time and its still 50/50 whether he'll even be back. Mitro is getting a lot of criticism, yet when have we actually created any chances for him as of late? One v Leicester when Sissoko got in the way, 0 v Bournemouth, Stoke or Chelsea. The problems run much deeper then Mitro. His hold and link up play is good when players are getting close enough to him which is usually the case at home but never away. He's our best option in my eyes. No biggie but you did say this in the mackem pre-match thread which is what I was referring to: 4 of those (cisse apart) 5 would walk straight into my starting 11 on sun if they are fit. We'll just have to agree to disagree about this. I just find it somewhat funny that you have seen enough of Doumbia after 40 or so minutes to write him off, yet are happy to persist with Mitrovic whose ineffectiveness in this league is a major reason for us being where we are. I haven't written him off. I've said he's looked poor and looks like he's massively lacking match sharpness so I wouldn't start him on Sunday due to the magnitude of the game. I completely disagree on the Mitro part as well. He's missed chances but so has Perez, Wiji, etc. Without Mitro in our team, we have absolutely no focal point to our attacks and look far weaker as a result.

He buys his sister raunchy underwear. I wouldn't take him serious.

[emoji38]The earliest he's came on was 70 minutes and we were already 4-0 down at that point. Does that mean he's incapable of controlling a football? People go on about Butland saving his shot but it was a poor finish & he's done nothing else of note at all. There's some really strange people around. Enlighten me on what you believe he's done that makes him worthy of a start. What do you mean, what he's 'done'? he's played about 40minutes of football for us. He looks way off match sharpness for him to be starting on sunday. I'd be using the break we've got coming up to build up his fitness and look at the Norwich game as a possibility. To start him on Sunday would be a massive risk for me.

Done nothing at all in his cameos to warrant a start.

Barca to run riot would be lovely.

Starting to feel violently ill with nerves about this game.

I know its been said but itll be heartbreaking in the summer if we go down and he leaves. He's the man who could lead us to far bigger and better things if we stay up.

He's not like Well he is. He's nowhere near a premier league defender. There's a reason he couldn't get in Forest's team last season. He was torn apart by York Citys striker in pre season and has continued the woeful displays since then.

Got this exact bet on.

He's shite.

Absolutely horrendous last night.

Our best player tonight, along with Shelvey.

Up there in the top 5/10 games of my nufc lifetime I reckon. Absolutely massive.

Sissoko's tackle on Mitrovic was a nailed on pen.

0-1 tonight. Yous can thank me later.

Just seen 1 magpie on my dinner at work. Rafa Out.

Colback LB, is that still a thing? God I hope not. Far better LB than a CM. Although thats not a compliment. Probably a far better plumber than he is footballer to be fair. I agree.

According to physioroom (a site that usually seems pretty accurate), Obertan & Haidara are meant to be out until April and I saw them both on the training pics Could potentially of been light work. Im hoping that Collo, Mbemba and Townsend are fit, if not for tomorrow then next week at the latest

Who out of the so called injured players has made a miracle recovery? Anyone know?
