    It doesn't say but we can only hope Stuart will get the start on his debut. Spurs are nothing to snuff at so this will be a perfect opponent, at a perfect setting (White Heart Lane), in the only competition Wanderers can salvage any joy for the season.

    Shouldn't this be in the game day forum?

    Opps. I don't know how I managed to accidently do that. I guess that's a sign I need to do "real" work at my desk instead! :D

    I would say that although I have been negative on this move for Holden, it really does allow Bradley the chance to vet Holden for a ticket to South Africa. If he can come in, force his way onto the pitch by playing well, he will really earn his spot. I'm not saying that he won't be there if he doesn't, but this would seem an ideal thing for him and US fans, to have him in a competition day in and out for his spot on the pitch. This would seem perfect preparation for the World Cup squad.

    Good luck to him tomorrow.

    With as much press as he's received about his probable debut, it would almost be (to me at least) a let down if he doesn't start.

    Coyle isn't beholden to any decisions until kickoff, so don't get your hopes up this time until you see the frosted spikes.

    But if he doesn't end up playing, it's not the end of the world. All it means is we'll be holden on for just one more day.

    That's a pretty strong Spurs lineup. Looks like Holden will be up against Assou-Ekotto.

    If Holden scores, gets subbed and his sub scores, the headline should read "You've Got To Know When to Holden and Know When to Fold 'Em!"


    Yes, I'm a dad. Why do you ask?
