Still it's not as if we missed out on Tuncay, Martin just did not want him, he plans for Ash to move into a free role behind the striker to make him the centre of our team once Downing is fit.
Petrov and Cuellar played excellent today. Glad for Gabby to get a goal, and very happy with the clean sheet. Clarke had a fine debut, although Fulham were rubbish.
Seriously, not qualifying for the group stages is devestating for the club and team. This is a result we can't bounce back from, this ius terminal.
