I was thinking just this, and the answer is yes! Kaz is mostly kept on the bench for away games, so if Noone or Bennett is injured/having an off day/tired/booked etc then he is right there to come on!
At home we can play all three!!

With Southampton, Sheffield Wednesday and Huddersfield all to play at Withdean at the end of the season, it would be bloody good to get him back as well

Lets wait and see what Noone has to offer in our set up before we nake our minds up on that one. Looking at the highlights on the Plymouth Player he will cover most of what KLL offered if not quite with the lightening pace.....

Noone is left footed. LuaLua is right footed. I will never like the inverting of wingers, you don't do it with fullbacks and it's not a good idea with wingers either as far as I am concerned. Good as though Robben is playing on the right and cutting in, it condenses the game and the last thing we need is to become even more narrow. People have been talking about teams working us out, and the reason is we've become easy to defend against because we have no width. Noone will address that.

Gus has pretty much said he'd have Kaz back in a heartbeat already so fingers crossed we will see him in an Albion shirt again.
Now Noone is in the bag would like to see us go for some centre midfield attacking flair.

A striker who can score goals hopefully will be the priority! We have Bennett, and Sparrow in the attacking midfield roles.

I agree entirely with Ninja that our biggest problem of late has been the loss of width since Kazenga's injury. It has been the difference between our ability to unlock defences and our subsequant failure to do so. Signing Noone helps to address that and once we have that extra edge to push defences back you will find that our defence suddenly becomes more secure again.
We just need to have one person on form to put away chances whether new or from the existing squad

It's great that we've got a proper left footed midfielder.

I don't like that tactic, if we keep Bennett out wide on the other side then that's a bit different, but I don't like leaving the flanks exposed. The goals we conceeded at Hartlepool were all from crosses into the box because there wasn't enough protection to either fullback. When it works, it works well and Noone has plenty of experience playing on both sides, but I'd prefer him to stay wide on the left and have Bennett wide on the right. That would free up Sparrow to charge forward from midfield aswell, in theory. And it would make us more solid defensively again.
100% agree. Kevin McLeod is the closest we've come to properly replacing Nathan Jones (yes, THAT long since we had a proper left footed winger). Forgetting Alexandre Frutos of course....

All i hear is 20 goal strikers & wingers but what i dont hear is defending for
90 minutes.

rochdale (h) 2 points
tranmere (a) 1 point
bournemouth (h) 2 points
bristol rovers (h) 2 points
huddersfield (a) 1 point
we would be out of sight if we
secured theses games

Personally I am a fan of switching wingers during the game as it keeps the opposition guessing. As for KLL I would love to have him back but on a permanent deal as I do not think you can have too many quality players...The problem is That **** Pardew (to once again give him his full-name) hates us and I cannot see him ever doing us any favours so I very doubt we will ever see KLL again.

Pardew will send LuaLua back out on loan but it won't be to us.

I think that pardew has more on his plate than worrying about us.
probably give us kas back to stop southampton going up.

We could have also secured these points by finishing better and killing these games off.

Fantastic. Personally, I think that we should be looking at playing Bennett off a striker, longer term. Ideally for me, we'd have a 4-4-1-1 (which isn't dissimilar from our general shape anyway) with two natural wingers and then Bennett floating about between the striker and the midfielders. We've been linked (tentatively) with JP McGovern at Swindon and knowing what I do about him, he would be perfect for us. With Noone on the left and him on the right, we'd be unstoppable with Bennett floating about feeding balls into the wingers to supply Murray!
