I understood he had tweaked his hamstring but nothing has come out of the club. I am assuming he is out, as Immers is likely to be. God knows what our forward line will look like if Pilks and Fred out as well. Only good thing is that Harris will have to start. Bad news is Zohore as well.
How bad can it get , I would play Manga up front with Harris off him.Quote:

I think we will have to play Manga with Noone and Harris either side. What a time to be alive.Quote:

Off the top of my head, I remember Phil Dwyer playing centre forward for Wales. Probably quite a few others too..
Play Noone and Harris as twin strikers - Ben Turner would hate playing against those sort of opponents (of course, our multi talented midfield will have to provide them with the ammunition to run amok mind).Quote:

He was even called up to the England squad as a centre forward but then got injured himself and never played.

Even one of own has made the transfer : Jurgen Klopps , new striker ,Steven-Caulker ,defender .Quote:

Another closer to home was Paul Went for City must have been late seventies.
He was a big wide centre half from memory and I think he played at least a couple of games for us at CF, not sure if it was forced through injury though or just that we couldn't score goals.
Surely Jamie Bird is worth a punt in the first team?
Seems like a good shout.Quote:

Scored a cracking header past Peter Shilton at the Canton Stand end as well:thumbup:Quote:
