That's my last ounce of hope all used up.

What 'option' is that exactly, apart from a bad one? Why would we even want to consider that?

Is Pratley still injured? I'd like him back in the side (bloody hell, never thought I'd hear myself saying that!) and get Ngog back up on his own. Yes I know he's rubbish but he's the best out of a bad bunch.... not sure putting Sordell up on his own will do any good and I'm still reluctant to see the 4-4-2 away from home.

I think Sordell needs to make an appearance if we're getting nothing from the game. Wide men for me have to be Eagles and Petrov, drop Miyachi.

I'm not going tomorrow but if I see the team line up an it includes Knight in the defence and Ream in midfield I'm driving down to Birmingham and breaking in to Villa Park to give Coyle a good feck* shoeing!

I can see Own 'trust in other teams youth but not our own' Coyle going for that one. What with it being shit.

As I said it wouldn't be a very good option, just trying to figure out a possibility that doesn't involve having to play Vela in a 4-4-2. This is assuming Mark Davies, Pratley and Ryo are all injured.

Stick Alonso as defensive mid. Might be better not chasing shadows as a full back. He can get a few tackles in and might just get a few passes forward that actually hit one of our players.

Get Wylde's clearance and Chungy fit then play four wingers. Ideal.

Alonso, tackle? Good one.

Although I could see the argument for Ricketts in midfield, if it didn't mean Alonso as a full back.
