Was Heider injured or rested?

Bothroyd looked too languid and DJ couldn't get in the game at all. Need him back if we are going to get anything out of the Norwich game.

I'd risk starting DJ up top with Heider and drop Mackie. Thoughts?

I would play DJ up front with Taarabt behind him, Traore and SWP on the wings and two from Derry, Faurlin and Barton in the middle.

Problem tho as we saw when DJ came on is that he is incapable of winning a header. There was one laughable moment when the ball was pumped up the right wing to DJ - and SWP. It was never going to end in anything.

I think rested him so he can play Monday obv felt that was te more likely 3points

Kinda made sense

Play the ball to his feet then. T

Not sure we have the players to do that. Besides, even Arsenal sent in crosses. You do need a striker who can head imo.

What about pace ?

Think we need both, hence DJ and Heider. Not sure either is good enough on their own. Mackie for me to miss out, but hey, all about opinions...
