I reckon our first eleven will be ok on Sunday for 60-70 mins, the BIG worry is that we have nothing on the bench to come on and force/defend the game. Is this completely obvious or is it just me ?

I never thought that going into our 4th season in the prem we would still have Rory and whelan as our central 2, and I never thought we would start a game without a striker on the bench! At least years ago we had big vince rely on!

At least years ago we had big vince rely on! What about years before when we had Carl Asaba and Bruce Dyer to come on and change the match...  |

Its about time that Chelsea had some bad luck at Stoke and went back to London without even a point
Give the new Manager plenty to think about!

I have the same feeling about us tiring in most games to be honest. I think we allow our players to stay on a lot longer than most other teams, as a result of our squad being so thin at times.
Let's hope that our first 11's fitness lasts the course on Sunday.

Here's hoping the two competitive games weve already had will give us a slight edge fitness wise. I feel fresh legs will definatly be need come 70 minutes though :/

At least years ago we had big vince rely on! I never thought that going into our fourth season we'd have a european tie midweek to add extra strain to our already thin squad. Come on tone, bring in the reinforcements, we don't want to give anyone a head start this season. |

That's my worry, I'm not knocking pulis for what he's done but the time we need a decent squad were somehow going into this season with one of our weakest |

What so all that pre season fitness training was for nothing? By your logic they might as well have stayed at home for the past couple of months.

You know Pulis will come good and get in the players before the end of the window, just frustrating we couldn't have them for Sunday. How often do you here Pulis come out and say he wants 5 or 6 players in before the window closes, he must be confident. I think we will win regardless, Villa Boas wont know whats hit him.. Lets make it LOUUUDD  !! |
