all our options.....

right midfield :
kimbo
smith
cowie

centre midfield:
whitts
mutch
gunnarson
kiss

left midfield:
bellamy
noone
conway

strikers:
helguson
mason
etien
earnie

surely with all these players we can at least contest for an automatic spot but guarantee a good play off position!

You can add rudy to the striker list but still don't think the strikers have got what it takes for promotion challenge. Got to hope Bellamy and whitts get 30-40 goals between them in midfield.
