You might be right and i wouldn't be surprised, we'll just have to wait and see.

Barkley wasn't "injured" when he got took out was he? Duffy wasn't "injured" when replaced by Hibbert last season was he?

Like i said, if he was gonna drop him i think he'd just come out and do it and not give a damn rather than try and cover it up with an "injury". Especially when its for Jags or Heitinga.

Barkley was taken out because he was 'tiring'. Moyes uses the 'injured' fig leaf all the time to explain Neville's periodic absences. It's a common thing managers do.
 
The team today is virtually back to the bone of a very small squad.

A win is definitely not certain today, that's for sure

Correct.

Barkley wasn't taken out for giving away that penalty according to Moyes' "officially", but everyone and their horse knew that was the real reason.

I'm betting Coleman is "carrying a knock"; wouldn't be surprised if he's an unused sub today.

Well, I'm expecting a shit hot defensive and attacking performance today from Hietinga or Jagielka. Because that can only justify dropping the current RB.

Let's see.

You know whats gonna happen, we'll bang for ages on the door down the left but they know they can stop that and stop us.

At which point Baines gets caught out of position and they score down our left and then we struggle to get an equaliser.

Nailed on. Solid at the back on the right but nothing going forward.

I would bet on this exact outcome if it was possible.
 
Coleman injured or has he had words with the Ginger one just like Victor did, not fit on a Sat at Fulham but fit to play in the under 21's the next day!

If we win today it will be a scrappy win - Grant Holt will have a field day with JH as he needs dropping for duffy!
 
To be honest we've looked better with Coleman on field instead of Hibbert but the results haven't really been going our way so might be worth dropping him.

Very suspicious. Coleman picking an injury up after this week when he's come under criticism? Pretty remote. The injury stuff is always trotted out to save face all round.

Moyes has blinked here, as I knew he would when the going got a bit rocky underfoot. It loks like he's taking Coleman out and going for a more solid defensive performance. Let's see how his decision pans out. It'll be interesting to see what happens if our left flank is asked to do what it's been spared from this season and carry the burden for the whole of our attacking game.

Big choice by Moyes this if Coleman doesn't start. It's a signal he's going back into his shell.

To be honest mate Coleman deserves to be dropped
