He is saving Varela for the Stoke game Beefy. The same goes with Gardner and Pocognoli.
I'm expecting a good amount of changes for the Stoke match to freshen up the starting 11 and the squad as we have 3 matches in 7 days, today being the first of the 3.
Ideye with his first league goal. A fortunate goal is what he has needed for a while.

Second half was a non event really. Unplayable conditions.
Gamboa did himself no harm when coming on. Looked sharp, full of desire and good on the ball. I'd personally like to see him come in for Pocognoli, who I'm starting to realise is nothing more than a good athlete.
The 2nd half performance (or lack of it from Man City) will keep Irvine in his job again. Hopefully we're not still in the spirit of giving Christmas gifts for the Stoke game.

Did I hear that it was snowing? Strange cos I'm getting too warm here and think I'll go for another rum punch to cool down and try to remove the memory of listening to that. Sorry to gloat

Weather conditions definitely Irvine's fault. Useless fecker.

Didn't watch the game and had a much calmer day as a result.
Realistically all we could hope from that was that the other results went our way and I think they all did bar Hull winning.
From QPR, Man City and Stoke I would have expected 3 points minimum with a hope of 4 - fail to beat Stoke now and that would be 0 or 1 points from the three games. Unacceptable and relegation form. We are now averaging below a point a game, and with our run-in we can't afford that.

So Mr Noideye claims his first goal with a ricochet of Morrissons shoulder that hits him on the back of the head and somehow ends up in the goal. What a wonderful return on £10 Million?? I despair. DD

NEGATIVES:
Ben Foster has turned into Scott Carson
Joleon Lescott has turned into Ryan Donk
Our attacking line with its wealth of international experience is in danger of winning the Barn d'Or award for services to spooning absolute sitters
Sadly, this is probably the best line-up we have
POSITIVES:
It snowed. Snow is nice.

Probably helped the goal difference though. DD
RE: WBA Xmas/New Year Thread - WBA-Josh - 27-12-2014
My team for Stoke:
Myhill
Gamboa - McAuley - Lescott - Pocognoli
Yacob - Gardner
Brunt - Sessegnon - Varela
Berahino
Gamboa - McAuley - Lescott - Pocognoli
Yacob - Gardner
Brunt - Sessegnon - Varela
Berahino
Subs
Foster
Dawson
Wisdom
Mulumbu
Morrison
Blanco
Ideye
4 changes with a few surprises to keep the squad fresh and on their toes. Some of the players are starting to become complacent because they are classed as undroppable, this needs to change.

Doesn't matter which team we put out against Sjoke, we'll lose.
