Stoke City
3-1: Wednesday, 27th OctoberHis air shot was the 'highlight' of a rather dismal performance.
Newcastle United
1-2: Saturday, 23rd October(Replaced Barrera, 69 mins) Came on to replace Piquionne. Apparently.

Oxford United
1-0: Tuesday, 24th August(Replaced Sears, 78 mins) Actually did ok, I thought. Won a free kick just outside the box; good link up play.
Bolton Wanderers
1-3: Saturday, 21st August(Replaced Dyer, 77 mins) Still a few lbs to go Benni. Nice lob that led to the second penalty. Keep working on that treadmill.

Stoke City
0-1: Saturday, 27th March(Replaced Mido, 84 mins) Had one very good chance that he just failed to convert. Still looking less than 100 per cent.
Wolverhampton Wanderers
1-3: Tuesday, 23rd MarchLooked unfit and, bar the odd nice lay-off, pretty ineffectual in the first half. Completely AWOL in the second half until being unceremoniously hauled-off.
Wolverhampton Wanderers
1-3: Tuesday, 23rd MarchA home debut to forget. Unfit and well below par.

Chelsea
1-4: Saturday, 13th MarchDid not play.
Burnley
1-2: Saturday, 6th FebruaryA fair way off the pace, but looked willing. Fluffed his lines after doing the hard work in the easiest chance of the match, then limped off at half time. Not a classic debut. But not quite a Tomas Repka debut either.
