Better yet, start Jelavic against Norwhich and keep Lukaku on the bench. If we're not winning by 2 or 3 in the 65th minute, bring Lukaku on. After chasing Jelavic around for that long, it'll be a really difficult adjustment to mark Lukaku, who can't move as quickly from a standstill but will outmuscle them for every 50-50 ball

This is exactly how West Brom made use of Lukaku last season. It worked for them. It worked for us away to West Ham too (Lukaku on at half time).
 
Despite everything I find myself rooting for Jela. Yes, he's been badly gash for a year but he hasn't had a proper chance under the rip-roaring Martinez. I fear his brace on Saturday was too little too late.

I'm still rooting for him.
He was excellent when he came to us. Confidence is a funny thing when it comes to strikers, and if he can regain that then he could still have a future here.

He should be in his prime at 28 (and not exactly having worn himself out in the last 12 months). We shouldn't just ship him out without giving it a real go to try to reinvigorate his goalscoring touch.

I'd love for him to start on Saturday. We will create chances, and if he can get onto the end of one, it would do wonders for him. The road back has to start somewhere, right?
 

Can't believe you can say that after he nearly got a hat trick the other day. He's back IMHO NSNO!

QPR are no mugs either some of their players are PL quality I was quietly impressed with how he got on against them, to dispossess Karl Henry like he did for his first goal showed true quality.
