if he is ruled out, with tugay susspended and the axe will be probably knackered from flying to south africa, it could be a centre midfield pairing of savage and bentley.

Nah, lets just bang three up front - BOOM - 5-0 to the Rovers

nope, i just hope it was a precaution he was brought off.

I think Bentley and Sav was to play in centre of midfield anyway..Reidy was meant to play on the right, just as they did against NZ..so lets hope for Gallagher on the right, since Emerton probably won't be fit!

Den: Douglas is useless

Wrong thread to make this point, I know, but as much as Douglas is definitely not the answer to our midfield problems - I think he could do a job as a stop-gap if only he would alter the style of his game.

Too many midfielders in the British game think it is essential to be a box-to-box midfielder - despite the fact they are woeful going forward. On the continent, you get specialist defensive midfielders who accept their crucial role in protecting the back four and aren't seduced by the glory of scoring goals.

Douglas' inadequate skill and technique and lack of shooting ability (yes that Fulham goal was good - but look at his goal record for Chesterfield, Gillingham and Leeds) mean that he shouldn't be wasting his or our time going forward.

He's a big strong lad - why doesn't he play a genuine holding role and break-up the opposition play in an Aaron Mokoena type way? Imagine the Axe trying to gallop forward and score goals? Exactly - you can't.

Douglas should play to his strengths.

....at a lower level...

was that after the dutch had torn him and the irish team "apart" :ph34r:

i'll get me coat

:lol:

I would guess if reid doesn't make it we would play Bentrley on the centre and Emerton on the right, putting Gallagher wide would mean a very weak tackling midifield.

Buy a central midfielder!!

so what?! we have done all the tackling in the premiership for the last 18 months..lets attack!!! :D

REID'S BACK BREAK HELL

By Alan Nixon

BLACKBURN star Steven Reid could miss the rest of the season with a stress fracture in his back.

The Republic of Ireland midfielder made the discovery when scans were taken on his persistent problem.

The verdict is that he will be sidelined for around five months.

Reid had played in pain earlier in the season and has been missing for the past few games as Mark Hughes's medical team tried to get to the bottom of the trouble.

Now the news is bad and Reid may be in traction for about six weeks before further checks are made to see if the injury has healed properly.

Blackburn skipper Ryan Nelsen will be out until the new year after his major hamstring operation.
