Dont panic. Just yet.
Three weeks to go and still nothing!!!
The RS have signed more quality and will pull further away from us this season leaving us to fight for fifth at best but Man City, Portsmouth, Blackburn, Villa ans Spurs have all made good signings and will have better squads next season............
So at this time what is a realistic finish for us this season 8th, 9th or something like that??????
IMO it does not look good.................
Just looking at the OS and the first team squad:-
Vaughan, VDM, Ossie, Cahill, Hibbert and Arteta all injured.
Anichebe set to be missing because he is playing for Nigeria and Johnson will complete a move to Fulham.
Line up against Blackburn would be if it was to kick-off tommorrow:-
....................Howard....................
..................................................
Yobo.....Lescott.....Jagielka.....Baines
..................................................
Pienaar..Rodwell......Neville......Baxter
..................................................
............Yakubu......Jutkiewicz.........
Bench would be Gosling, Kissock, Ruddy, Turner, ?, ?, ?
No other first team squad to choose from!!!!!!!!!!!!!
