NITFC added 13:14 - Feb 17 It's early days I know but I can't see how Healy can be his country's record goalscorer at international level. He looks pretty poor to me

WonnorCickham added 13:19 - Feb 17 Agree with NITFC, he spent most of the Middlesborough game offside and was poor again last night.

Wussinwhiteboots added 13:50 - Feb 17 Albania is probably Healys level. Other than the commendable hattraick against Spain and one against England, the majority of his goals have come against Leichtenstein, Malta, Luxembourg, and a host of West Indian combinations

Good luck to the 2 of these, I hope Healy can replicate his international form for us for the rest of the season and hopefully beyond.

jamie22 added 14:56 - Feb 17 How can you attack Healy? He has a proven goal scoring record, the fact that he is unfit because he was played about 6 times for Sunderland, none of them starts! This game will be good for him hopefully up his fitness! Okay, hope that's cleared it up now get behind your team! COYB!

corshamblue added 21:20 - Feb 17 Gareth deserves all the caps he can get and is putting in decent performances following a 'loss of confidence' and a poor thigh injury early season. He upped his game against Poland and replicated that form when he returned to Town. I hope he has a great game and does the same in a couple of weeks. We could be well in the cr** by the time we play at home again and Gareth will be key to the points we can take.
