I was speaking earlier today with an acquaintance who is friendly with a couple of Palace players and apparently Holloways pre match team talk on Saturday centered on attacking us down our left side because he said it is weak and even more so with Calderon at left back who isn't happy playing...

He has played in the Bridcutt role when I have seen him play and looked quite promising a lot better than the full backs in the DS.

You obviously haven't seen him play because if you have you wouldn't even consider him for the first team at the moment.

Bridcut cannot be expected to be winning balls in the centre of midfield to break up play and then 2 secs later be checking out a fast right winger like Zaha to help out the full back it just isnt physically possible. Incidentally according to BBC Sport Johnson started for Norwich today.

I hope so as we need somebody there I think especially when Bridge is out either injured or suspended. The problem as I se it is hat i is not a position that comes naturally to most players so it becomes a specialist position and the good players there are greatly sought after.

I am glad that I am not the only person having problems thinking of known players to fill that position.

We could do with a natural left sided midfielder who can defend but haven't got one as even Orlandi is more akin to attacking.

f that was the case Vicente would then come in for Orlandi who has suspected broken ribs.

From what my son was told yesterday El Abd is out for a few weeks, recurring hamstring problem, Bridge indefinitely cartilage trouble and Painter a couple of weeks ankle ligaments. I am sure that Vincelot cannot be recalled until the loan is up at Christmas and although the loan window has...

Due to Dunks suspension and El Abd injury could we be eligible to bring in an emergency loan CB like Ignaci Miguel of ArsenaL
