Nov 23:  .. and four steps back when it comes to Everton's massive injury crisis:  Watson, and Unsworth are expected to be fit for selection on Saturday, whilst Cleland (hamstring) and Moore (flu) are now doubtful.  Gascoigne and Nyarko will not be fit, despite earlier promises...

Nov 22:  Tommy Myhre was overlooked for the last reserves match, rekindling rumours that he may once again be looking for a loan move.

Nov 6:  There is less concern over Gazza's thigh injury, which is now thought not to be a muscle tear.  But he, Unsworth and Watson are all early doubts for the Bradford game.

Nov 5:  Gazza slipped over taking a free kick and pulled a thigh muscle.  He may be out for up to a month as the injury crisis deepens...  

Nov 5:   A heart-breaking end to a dire match saw Aston Villa snatch victory with their only shot on goal – a speculative long-range punt by Merson in the 90th minute.
