Jermaine Jenas is back in the frame for Saturday's trip to Blackburn Rovers.

Illness kept the midfielder out of last weekend's match against Newcastle at the Lane but he's available alongside defender Younes Kaboul, back in training after a dead leg.
"Both are fit to play and unless something happens, they will be with us this weekend," reported Head Coach Juande Ramos.
Long-term injuries Gareth Bale (foot) and Benoit Assou-Ekotto (knee) are out for the season.

we'll soon see who's our no. 1 mid Zoko/Hudd fans :wink:

The sad fact is, none of them are currently good enough for a top 4 assault. Whether a top class partner playing alongside one of them would make a difference remains to be seen. If one or any of them is going to be first choice next season they are going to have to improve.

all - yep I know JJ isn't the greatest mid - but it'll be interesting to see what happens next season

I suspect he'll be in the starting 11 if he is fully fit...I'm not sure that Juande ever lost faith in JJ, particularly in light of the marked improvement Jenas has shown under his guidance.

Good to see Jenas back, hope he starts.

Doesn't control the midfeild like we want him to, but is the best we have at it just now.

That's roughly my view too Blotto - to me JR thought JJ was our best mid (as did Jol during this season and last) -

JJ got injured plus a bit tired/dpwn/out of form around about the time of the PSV games - now he's back and as I've predicted many time I don't think it'll be Hudd/Zoko keeping him out of the first team, this season or next (except for normal rotation)

i think Steed looks like the most tired of our players at the moment, i'd rather have Gilberto left mid, maybe Taarabt, or give young Rose a go.

thanks to all the JJ supporters I wouldn't mind Kaboul starting too if fit enough - I'm afraid I'm giving up on Daws as anything but a back up player

to me keeper & CB are priority signings in the summer

I'm pretty sure a lot of us, including senor Ramos, is thinking the same thing.

Great JJ is back. There i was thinking the end to the season could nt get any worse!:razz:

I agree with this. I think Steed's exhausted however I think Taarabt would get kicked off the field against that lot so maybe it's Gilberto. Not sure Ramos thinks he's ready though. :shrug:

Also like the idea of a JJ, TT combo against Blackburn. Could be quite a bruiser and TT would get stuck in an 'mix it up a bit'.

 

[stevenurse]

it depends which jenas turns up, the jenas of 8 weeks ago and im confident but the jenas before/after the final has been gash
