Cattermole came on as a sub late on against Villa and has been back training so im hoping he's back to start at the weekend. I'm not sure if hes quite there yet though. Cana got sent off against Villa so we could use him back or he's probably gonna be starting Richardson and either Henderson or Malbranque in the middle which isnt gonna give us any cover at all.
Jones was out suspended but hes been back for a while now. He just hasnt been doing anything. He's always been accused of being lazy but he had a good start to the season and i thought he was anything but. He was working hard, he was chasing things down, he was holding the ball up well, he grabbed a couple of goals in the air which is what we need him for and he was putting in some great performances. Sadly that hasnt been the case as of late and Bent may as well be up front on his own.
The thing is we have a few more options in defence this season when compared to last, and some good ones i think but its just potential at the minute. Turner is the only definite start for me and even he has made a few mistakes. Everyone else we can alternate every week and get no consistency. It's not all doom and gloom but were slipping back into the mediocrity we were showing last season where we barely managed to stay up. Im just hoping Bruce can put a stop to it and get everyone motivated.
