If he's fully fit and doing all his Dago tricks in training then I'd start him. We're rubbish at coming from behind, we need to score the first goal and I'd rather have him for an hour and get ahead than be 0-0 or 1-0 down and put the burden on him to turn things around as a sub.

For me he is the perfect 2nd half sub.

Play possession football until the 70th minute, and then unleash him once the opposition's legs have gone. Should be far more effective with far less risk of injury.

But with fitter players and 3 subs permitted you hardly ever see a team who's legs have gone, even with teams with a man sent off. I totally DON'T see Vicente as a sub - by the time he's got into the pace of the game and worked out where the gaps are there's hardly any time left.

I'd drop Barnes, start Vicente and tell Dicker to be Vicente's minder.

I'd go with this. We need to score first to win matches; so who better to get us 1 up than the Dagger. He can give it 30-45 mins of magic, and we can replace him with Crofts after that and defend our lead.

Over there
Vicente reminds me of a girl I once fancied many years ago, her name was Claudia and I was infatuated with her, I stood no chance though as she was going out with Colin who was a few years older and cruised around in a bright red 3 litre Capri that seemed to have a surfboard permanently strapped to the roofrack. I bumped into Claudia one night at a party and she sidled up to me seductively, the bitch knew I was in love with her and was toying with me, Colin was in the kitchen furiously trying to gain access to a large metal drum of Watney's party 7 so I chanced my arm and got a bit closer to her. I extinguished the Peter Stuyvesant cigarette I was smoking and gave her a look that simply said, "f*** Colin, he's a nonce and I'm halfway through my O levels and am a much better prospect", I'm not sure she deciphered the look but nonetheless she drew closer and her hip connected softly with my groin area, there was violent flash of static as her crushed nylon dress reacted with my burgundy two-tone stay pressed trousers and the bolt of electricity went straight through my knackers! I was almost there and in anticipation leaned forward a little as I focused on her heavily made up face and bright red lips, this was it I thought, I'm f***ing in here. Alas out of the corner of my eye I saw Colin standing there in the kitchen doorway, big droopy moustache and mullet with bleached highlights, white towelling socks brazenly on show above tassled black casual shoes -what a wanker! I screwed my face up and looked him right in the eye, I'm going to tell him what a twat he is I thought, instead I opened my mouth and said, "Alright mate, how's the Capri?". I didn't bother to listen to the reply, I was defeated and with shoulder's slumped walked back to my mum's. Like I say, its easy to see how I make the link to Vicente isn't it?

Brilliant sir.
one of the best posts I've ever seen on here :)

What! We are only winning again cause of Barnes!:facepalm: Orlandi scored a good goal but apart from that he did little, happy to swap him for The Dagger.:rave:

Moving.
I see Colin as Valencia. Or perhaps even depression itself. The sickly musk that has a hold of our blemished treasure.

It's odd, and a measure of the man's quality I think, that despite our shocking record with him in the side, despite his seeming never-ending injuries, despite the string of false dawns, I still feel like a new signing has been made, and I'm still excited at the prospect of seeing him in an Albion shirt again.

Was the kitchen floor black and white checked lino and the furniture all dayglo plastic? Just trying to imagine the scene more vividly.
