Nolan out

for about 6 weeks due to foot injury , now who was th dirty **** who stamped on him the other night ?

Bloody Dembele! Should have been sent off 3 times!

Whoopie doo, just what we needed - not

May not be a bad thing . Maybe now Sam might use Joe Cole there or even give Welly a game, see what he can do.

So how do you see it going ? Will sam go for 2 up front or who would you put there instead.?

Maybe Vaz te can play in his right position, instead of on the wing. As I said might not be as bad as we think yet.

Could be a good thing Sam being forced to make a change although saying that he'll probably move Joey O'Brien forward in Nolans place.

Nolans greatest strength and what we'll miss most is his voice on the pitch and leadership. He has chipped in with goals to. But it does give others an opportunity, lets see who steps up and grabs it...

I'm sure he will be skipper this week, see how he goes eh. Also i would like to see Paulista play as well.

Yeh he missed spurs game due to a heavy cold and don't think he has trained much this week. Noble has a trapped nerve in his arm &back. We should just play 1 up front and the rest of the team to defend, might just get a point if we are lucky.

Paulista is in the Dev team tonight

i might be wrong but i worry the Brazilian will be too lightweight for a relegation scrap

Having come here straight from a Brazilian summer, I would imagine he is still in a state of shock about the temperature - he's probably playing in two pairs of thermal longjohns and a duffel coat. Maybe they will thaw him out before the end of the season.

I heard a story on the radio the other week that he refused to go on the warm weather training as he wanted to play for the development squad whilst the first team were away.....not sure how true that was.

But on what Alfie said I also heard a report that he is lightweight, not skillfull or quick, :/
