Woody in the clear

It was the first appearance of the season for the club’s new penalty king and after cruising through the game in his normal composed fashion he told medical staff that the injury had cleared up entirely.

The news will come as a massive relief to Sir Bobby who will have seen more evidence in Kuala Lumpur that Woody is now an irreplaceable member of the starting line-up.

The news was also good on Titus Bramble and Darren Ambrose who should both have recovered from minor knocks sustained in Malaysia in time to be considered for selection against Leeds United.
