Damn it :( I hope this isn't serious, and that Martin Kelly will be back soon so we don't have to rely on just Flanno. Because not having any back-up at RB at all would suck.

[elf_md]

I know. But, not to sound like a total fangirl, I don't think Skrtel is doing that bad. He's certainly better than Carra.

[theosakansun]

I agree, while Skrtel is not a right back, Carra is even less so. I think we'll be fine with Skrtel as RB against teams like Wolves or Wigan or whatever, but next week against Spurs could very well be tricky. I'm not saying that he's bad, it's just that he's not a natural RB at all, and that will probably show against good players.

*edited for clarification/bad wording.

True. Let's just hope Kelly is back by next week then. :)

What has happened to Flanagan? Have I missed an injury announcement or something?

I know he wasn't great in the Exeter game but I don't think he was anywhere near bad enough to deserve not even making it to the bench since; especially when we are so light on RB's right now.

[elf_md]

Don't think he's injured.

But I think Kenny is relying on Skrtel's experience more, and yesterday against Stoke especially on his physicality.

[theosakansun]

I think Kenny didn't have Flanno on the bench yesterday because he's much smaller than Skrtel and Stoke have some big ass players.

Was he fit enough?

[sukha4]

ugh why? Was he played too early before he was ready?

How is Kelly doing?

I think we should play Flanagan if Kelly is still out too. He did well last season but just had some bad luck in the beginning of this season. And Skrtel for Carra, until Coates is ready.

FFS. This is so frustrating.
