Lisbie recalled

Curbs has recalled Kevin Lisbie to The Valley, deciding not to extend his one month loan spell at Norwich. He made four starts and two substitute appearances for the Canaries, scoring in a 2-1 defeat at Watford.

Norwich City assistant manager told the Canaries web site, 'We would very much like to have kept Kevin longer, but at the same time we understand and respect Charlton's position.'

The Norwich Evening News states that Lisbie has been recalled because of 'mounting injuries' in the Charlton squad. However, the lacklustre performances of Shaun Bartlett in recent appearances may be a consideration.

The fact of the matter is that we have three relatively uninspiring back up strikers (although JJ can cause some trouble with his pace) with a reputation for missing sitters. Bothroyd is injured and clearly has a short fuse which could get him in trouble. Failing all else, I would use Sam on the bench as an attacking midfielder or even take a risk with Gislasson.

Deano

Following his recent appearance on Match of the Day 2 Deano did a long interview on Radio 5 this morning about Ireland's World Cup qualification prospects. It's interesting to listen to Deano's accent. Although he was brought up in Warwick and Leamington, playing at one time for the Hibernians, and I bump into his dad now and then, his accent sounds more like an 'estuary' one. Indeed, there is no trace of the Leamington accent that one hears 'townsmen' speaking.
