I think Forrest will want to back him though, Nicky Shorey is brilliant left back that has been brought in on loan so that certain shows some ambition from the board.

I think Newcastle have a tendancy to use Jonas quite a lot but thats because he can out pace a lot of players in this league. Enrique does tend to have blackouts quite a lot, he's a good player really but sometimes he quite oddly just boots the ball anywhere when trying to play it forward. When he has confidence though hes the best left back in the league at going forward, he's skillfull with the ball at his feet and hes a fan favourite at Newcastle as we think he can keep on progressing. If you look at Newcastle and where their goals are coming from this season, Danny Guthrie is our main supplier with assists, and this is probably because hes usually on the right and our main tactic is to get the ball crossed in from the wings so Caroll or Ameobi can head it in. And on N'Zogbia, hell will freeze over before he is welcomed back by the Toon fans ha ha.

That's not the problem, though -- the problem is you usually need a left back who can consistently support and move forward, and their first choice left back is Jose Enrique, the Human Turnover Machine. More than another striker (which would of course help), they need to find other support for Spiderman. If you watched the Derby match (thanks ESPN360!), you could have counted about 10 occasions where Enrique gave the ball away without any pressure. Maybe they can figure out how to convince N'Zogbia to come back, now that Kinnear has left the building...

Davies is a really good CCC manager but if Florist do get promoted and he is still in charge they are screwed and I know a majority of Derby fans feel that they are welcome to him.

They don't lose many games, but they've drawn nine. The most prominent quote by players and Sousa this season has been "It was two points dropped." But yes, they've been having an issue with their strikers not scoring goals. Lee Trundle (on loan) has scored more goals than record signing Craig Beattie. Cheers, The Gaffer
