    After Tuesdays game I obviously wouldn't wish to change team around but surely Christensen deserves a chance in first team soon. I don't think he's had a full start yet, only seems to manage to get on last 15mins or later....

    Question is who would he play with. He always replaces Stan, but is there any reason they can' play together?? ok both big men, but they both work and Christensen obviously knows where the net is.... Then again, you can't drop Macken, his work rate, first touch, creativity are immense! perhaps he would be the better partner.....

    Staying on the subject of Macken, kinda reminds me of Chopra when he came on loan. He worked hard but didn't score for first few games??? then once he got his goal he went on a run! there's no doubting Macken can score goals he's always had a great record where ever he's been... I tip him to score on sat against his old club!!!!

    Yep you're right and Odejayi can't even score at that level. All Christensen can do is keep scoring and hope for a chance.

    Christensen's impressed me whenever he's come on. His workrate is good, his touch is good, and some of his awareness and passes are excellent. He'll get a chance at some stage and when he does, I think he'll take it. I'd like to see more of Mostto too, as he was upfront with Odejayi for most of his time in the side - and that can't be an easy job.

    Ferenczi and Macken deserve their starting places at the moment, but we have competition for places - its a nice feeling for a change.

    sorry to disagree but.............

    Macken only scored for Preston- 1 every 3 games-in the 5 1/2 years since he left he has scored12 first team league goals in 105 appearances 2 FA Cup goals in 7 appearances and 3 League Cup goals in 4 appearances-not a goal machine but an excellent hold up player -the ball seems to stick to him-I think he wears Velcro shirt and boots:D </p>
