Any news on Gomes?

 

[john jako]

Bench is one of the worst this season.

Can’t remember a weaker bench in years gone by.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

If it was ever in doubt, we need to score first tonight.

time for a strong beer...

Delph injured again!?! who signed this ***** - 140k a week on this *****!

 

[mawders]

3 at the back?

 

[Jim Hopper]

I’d have just played the kids me. Focus on the league. Squad is thread bare there. We can’t be risking more injuries heading into a mad fixture run in.

Dont let son run in behind and cut in on his right foot from the left and we are sound.

...i saw ‘don’t let (the) son...’ and thought you were quoting Elton John.

 

[deipnosophist]

we appear particularly prone (literally!) to soft tissue injuries. Bobby M was a master on these types of injuries...possibly why we got 72 points one season...

seasons over

 

[ProZ]

Fabian Delph should be melted down to liquid. He's absolutely smoked.

 

[Cels]

No James even on the bench? And what's up with Gomes?

@Cels I may have to do another editing on that score

There was chatter that James was struggling with a minor problem prior to the Leeds Utd game. If I recall correctly, he was on the bench but never actually featured in the match, so it could have been true. If there was a problem it may have been aggravated against Man Utd, although not as aggravated as I am about the number of games he's been missing

[Carloblues]

No surprise Rodriquez hasn't been risked given he's a bit prone to a knock but shame about gomes who's been playing really well recently

 

[Blue83]

Everyone moaned at the lineup for Wolves and we ended up winning so probably best to leave judgement until the final whistle, does seem though that the focus this season is on a good league finish
