Up front we have four strikers so plenty of cover, and how essential that cover was is shown by the fact that Barnes and Wood are both out but we aren't missing them, we have adequate replacements.

Just suppose last September or October it had been Cork and Westwood out injured as Wood and Barnes are now, our midfield would have been right mess, a collection of square pegs in round holes, but we were lucky, the injuries hit a part of the team where we had cover. Sometimes you need a bit of luck, but it's not a good idea, or good management, to depend on it.

Just saying like.
And what would we they have done if Vydra or J-Rod got injured early in the match..... Bring on Long I suppose.
