    Apparently.

    Blessing in disguise if you ask me. Liability in the team.
    Shown up again for 3rd Chelsea goal on Sunday.

    Rocha & Dawson (with Chimbonda as cover).
    We'll battle on.

    I dunno - Daws doesn't seem to get injured, though we could be unlucky and lose one of them. I think we're ok for the time being. We may need to get a decent centre back in the summer though.

    i cant think of anyone to take the place of either rocha or dawson should one of them get injured, or who would take rocha's place in the uefa cup.

    unless we are going to start using huddleston in defence?

    Hairline fracture of his tibia (I think)

    Wed night : Stalteri/Chimbonda/Dawson/Lee

    Solid enough for Braga anyway.

    While Gardener's been playing poorly it is a bit worrying in terms of cover (and while Stalteri did well against Chelsea and scored a vital goal at Wham he's always a liability if Chimbonda's in centre back!)

    I'd rather we had an out and out CB as cover, but if we have to make do then Chimbs at CB with Uri Gellar in at RB and someone doing a bit of donkey work on the right wing to provide him with defensive cover.

    Chill people,only an issue if we lose Dawson or The Rock.

    Snoop is a liability anyway.

    No Rocha - hope King is back. Why did we sell Davenport knowing Rocha was cup tied?:confused:

    I'd rather play with ten men than Davenport, plus we were afraid someone would notice Davenport was **** before we could cash in...:D

    This is a serious problem for UEFA cup. Dawson is our only centre half. Either Chimbo or Thudd will have to play there. That is fine against teams like Braga but Seville could rip us apart with there strong attack against an inexperiecned centre back. I know Gardner is far from great(being kind) but at least he is a centre back.
