What about nine game (six starts, three sub appearances) drought when only one other recognised striker is available and he isn't fit enough to start?

Still an awful run. Lita has been here for two weeks and was still training at Swansea so should be match fit by now.

I think Virgo is on today (from what he said on Sky on Monday).

That would make a refreshing change. However, still not gonna listen to the other one shouting like we have scored when the ball has gone 50 yards over the bar

Why get a player in on loan who isn't fit to start games. Why? Isn't this something we should find out before we loan a player. By the time he is match fit it will be time for him to go back.

For what its worth he looked sharp when he came on against Watford although he hardly saw any of the ball.

Barnes played better than he has done recently against Watford but his touch is never going to be that good and he missed the great headed chance in the first half. If I had a choice of Lita or Barnes up front for the rest of the season I would go for Lita as Barnes has had plenty of chnaces. Hopefully the Argie will be back soon.

The reason he isn't match fit is that he hasn't been playing matches. We knew that. It's what happens with most loan players. They are only available for loans because they're not being used at their parent club.

Barring a barnstorming performance from Ashley today (or injury/red card to Lita), I would expect Lita to start next week.

how does Bruno get another start?

Good question - if someone could mention to hi that flair passes are all well and good if they are on top of doing the basics right, but are not enough if you are not!

Doncaster commentary at least have the correct game.

"CMS is a prolific goalscorer at any level". Hmm....

Changed to the Doncaster commentary. The Brighton option is actually Crawleys game at the moment.
