Team News - O'Hara doubtful

official site

Jamie O’Hara is a major doubt for Saturday’s Barclays Premier League clash with Middlesbrough due to a bruised foot.
The England Under-21 international joins goalkeeper Paul Robinson on the sidelines, who is still struggling with the ankle injury that kept him out of last weekend’s trip to Blackburn Rovers.

Ledley King, Gareth Bale and Benoit Assou-Ekotto will not feature in the final five games of the season

same team as started at Rovers then?

I'd prefer kaboul to Dawson but what do I know

 

[van_Pommel]

Here here, I'd like to see Kaboul given a few games next to Woody.

VP - I'm afraid I've given up on Daws (for the moment anyway) as a first teamer

and please Leepy at LB with chimbonda in the reserves

 

[PT]

I hope we see Ekotto in pre-season. That's just about a complete season he's dipped out on.

Doubtless, but the end of season games would have been a good opportunity to look at him in his proper central midfield role. So far we have learnt that he is not laft winger or a left fullback, and frankly I could have told Ramos that...

One thing for sure is that O'Hara will definitely be here next season, and there are only four other players that can be said about.

Hi Eddie - would you be in favour of starting Troy AH soon? he looks ready to me form the Arsenal game - what do you reckon?

Maybe he will be here next season. But if he is anywhere near the first team is another matter :shrug:

Not having been able to get to reserve games this season, I am not he best person to say. But based on my favourable early impressions of him, Ramos' seemingly having taken a shine to him and the enthusiastic reports from reserve watchers, I would say that at present he has a better chance than any of our other homegrown youngsters of making the breakthrough.

We love a homegrown CB.

In the few games since he has come back and replaced King he has looked just as assured as Woody, the only mistake I can think of is the penalty for handball against Man U

 

[yanno]

On the fantastically named Troy Archibald-Henville, my tuppence worth is that he's a prime candidate for a loan spell at the highest level we can negotiate: hopefully, at a Championship club. He looked very promising against the goon stiffs, but he's played zero competitive league football.

And frankly, Dervitte is presumably ahead of him in the pecking order, now he's recovering fitness.

hi Lennon - well it's all about opinons - it's not what I've seen - but anyway thankfully JR is in charge of the team not me

Hi yanno - I was/am a big dervite fan - thought he was ready for regular first team squad prior to his injury - but I dunno he still don't look right to me on evidence of the Arsenal game - hope I'm wrong but I still fear he hasn't fully recovered

Me too mate :beer:

I still think Kaboul, given time, will develop into a World Class defender

Maybe a bit strong but i think he has the potential to be a very good player

I would say 7:

Gunter
Woodgate
King
Hutton
Bale
Gilberto
Keane

Gunter, yes, though I suppose there is a possibility we might put him out on loan.
King we hope and pray.
Gilberto is increasingly looking like a strange buy.
