What's the general opinion on Bent's injury, if we were to assume that he'll be out for a couple of weeks?
There seem to be quite a few on SW who are feeling that it'll force AM into playing Gabby, and he suits our current style (I use that word loosely) better anyway. There have even been a couple of shouts for Andy Weimann getting a start.
I think we're a worse team on paper without Bent, but I think Gabby can potentially do a better job when you're in the brown stuff, which frankly is where we're heading.
Thoughts?
Bent out of shape?

It looked bad on tv to be fair. I think we will be good with gabby up front. He will be strong, and hold ball well. I also think he will bring the midfielders into play more, which is especially good for bannan, ireland, nzog etc. I am actually looking forward to it.

I guess one of the sub editors at the Syn reads JA606.
Either that or I went for the most obvious pun on the planet.

It seems like an extreme way to avoid playing McLeish's dreadful football
