Id get Matthew Upson to keep the beard..... he looks like a young Geoff 
Pike.... and the way the defense did yesterday it looks like other players 
are responding to each other a lot more....

A young Geoff Pike? You're showing your age mate :-)

Because the teams around us will be strengthening their squads and if you 
stand still you go backwards (relatively speaking).

I think the current squad has done really well but it only needs a few more 
injuries and we could be in trouble.  Parker and Nobby hobbled off yesterday 
but I haven't heard any more details of their injuries.

I agree with Garry, they cannot afford any more injuries but, a few of the 
old injured are coming back soon:
Faubert, Bellamy, Etherington. Has anyone heard of any progress about Dyer?

I heard a rumour that they will be after Darren Bent again, WHAT THE HELL 
FOR?
Hope the rumour is complete bolx.
