I hope he now gets a run out in the absence of Nicky Maynard. He took his goal against Newcastle really well, so who knows, we may not notice a striker of Maynards quality being missing as much as we would have last season. How good is this whole "strength in depth" thing?

Well said , I echo your thoughts exactly.
I really rate Nicky he's our no.1 option however we have boys of quality who can come in and cover.
Every cloud has a silver lining and maybe his coming back into the team in a month or twos time would give them a lift as if they'd just signed a top notch striker.
Come on the city, not that worried at the moment.

Have you forgotten Bellamy ?
Given the form of Noone and Smith in the wide positions I think Bellamy could do a great job upfront. Remember his last season with us; if Jones had played him upfront from the start of the season, rather than wait until he was forced to when Chops got injured, I think we would have gone up
In the Championship Bellers would do some real damage and CBs would dread playing against his pace.
Having said all that I really hope Maynard get's back soon

Do you know what? I had, and that says it all really regarding squad strength
Onwards and upwards

If he does get a start he wont lack motivation... he will see it as his big chance to impress, I would expect a good performance from him should he get a game!!
