Sweepstake on who will look most grumpy?

I'd agree with that. Surely needs another couple of games before he's anywhere near up to speed.

@AdamBlackmore: #saintsfc Charlie Austin is Pellegrino's only injury doubt ahead of trip to #cpfc - final decision tomorrow.

I've always liked playing with a big striker. Players like Lambert & Pelle could help bring quicker / skillful players into the games, plus are always an outlet when under pressure. Look at West Ham the other night. Carroll made their game so much easier on Monday night. It always puzzled me that we deviated from having a target man in our armoury, after it had served us so well.

It needs to have the silhouette of a large goalkeeper being beaten by a low shot to reflect modern times.

Against Benteke?!

Worst case scenario: We are Sunderland from last season (without Defoe).

Yay!!

Don't think so. Has a knee injury with an unspecified return date.

& will likely beat us comfortably.

@TeleFootball: Breaking: Crystal Palace sack Frank De Boer after just five games in charge #cpfc http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/09/11/crystal-palace-sack-manager-frank-de-boer-just-four-premier/ …

Great summing up of our situation. The crux of it is that our recruitment has let us down.

His latest clip from Staplewood (vs a Tadic penalty)

Standard...

Guaranteed to change their manager before we play them.

I'd consider putting Gabbi right sided forward. Gives us an option cutting in on his left. Probably our best striker of a ball.

Hoping Bentekesaurus gets a red card today.

Absolute gamble to not sign any attacking players in the window.

Yeah. 3 managers didn't really rate him him here. The games moved on from having lazy/talented No.10's. Especially if made of glass.

It's not possible he can be fit though. Needs a couple of practice matches at least.

I'm happy to go along with this. Promising that he's back training, but lets see how the week pans out.

This wouldn't surprise me.
