Bigi worries me in that role. Vincelot tracks, gets a foot in, has a bit of aggression in him and breaks up play and keeps it simple. Which of those attributes does Bigi possess? Bigi is a much more urgent, busy player and lacks Vincelot's steel and poise.

Yeah, but let's see how he copes with the colossus that is Chris Stokes!!

He's a very good prospect, George Evans. You've got a good one there.

He's clever that McClaren. I reckon he's told Mowbray we can have Armstrong for the season, but only if we promise to sign Bigi permanently.

Terrible news. He hasn't done anything at all for the past 4 matches and therefore must be crap and been found out. Get rid!!!!

I worry with the gap in midfield if we play Vincelot at centre half. Who is going to fill that role? My guess is, if Stokes continues at centre half and Haynes has to play, TM will pick Joe Cole to sit in front of Haynes. Can't see him picking Murphy and Lameiras, so think he will go with...

He's usually with Thumper playing on the ice. Hope that helps.

It is a concern it's taken so long for him to get fit, but TM has said he wants to sign him permanently and if TM believes in him, then that's good enough for me. I trust his judgement. And besides, Owen had a lot of injury problems and he was never the same player after the major injury he...

That WAS Coventry City though Phil. This is a whole different kettle of fish this season and we are much harder to beat, as has been proved with the just 4 defeats in 24 games stat.

Oh yeah, it was the Premier wasn't it, but then that strengthens the case more. If Strachan can do it in the Premier and Wise and McAllister do it in the Championship, I see no reason why Cole can't succeed in League One. Ryan Lowe, who we will come against tomorrow for Crewe, is 37 and Richie...

I'm confident. It might end up with a draw, but I think we have an excellent chance of winning.

After tomorrow though we don't have a game until a week on Tuesday. May be a risk worth taking. I know people said Haynes did well on Monday, but Haynes and Phillips as the fullbacks does worry me a bit.

10? Haven't I already given the clues to at least 10 and other posters given some too. Is any of it your own work Houch? ;)

This WAS Coventry City. New manager, new team, new season.

Maybe as his new year's resolution he'd like to go back and help a third world country.

What happened with Charles? In Sept both City and Cardiff were looking to maybe sign him. It's now January and he's still at Flyde. Wonder why.

Well said. New year, fresh impetus. Cole one game fitter too and look what Maddison is doing right now! Creating waves and pricking up ears in football circles. Crewe will be more worried about Maddison than we will be about any of their players.

Maddison back and shining, TM saying that resting Armstrong did him a world of good, Stokes has covered well at centre back. Would say Crewe are now scared stiff of Maddison and if Kent plays, expect him to be signing off in style. All the talk of Klopp bringing him back to be part of the first...

Been nothing on Martin at all. Guessing he may still be out.

Yes.
