Clucking Kevin Nolan out

More bad news is that Kevin Nolan is out with a broken toe after Dembele's tackle. With Nolan also still injured it's looking bad for my trip to Stoke tomorrow. At least Huth the Barbarian is out for the Potters. We're now reliant on Diame in midfield and surely it's time to try something a bit more adventurous rather than relying on Taylor and O'Neil. Perhaps we could play Carroll and Cole (or Maiga) up front with Jarvis and Vaz Te as wide midfielders and move Joe Cole into central midfield alongside Diame? Though I expect Big Sam will opt for a five-man defence, with one up front and hope for a draw...
