Boro striker out of Albion clash
3:00pm Tuesday 16th October 2012 in Albion By Andy Naylor
Lukas Jutkiewicz scores against Albion last season
Albion keeper Tomasz Kuszczak’s chances of a third clean sheet in six matches at The Amex have been lifted by an injury to a fellow countryman.
Middlesbrough’s in-form Polish striker Lukas Jutkiewicz has been ruled out of Saturday’s clash against the Seagulls by a knee injury sustained in training.
Jutkiewicz scored for Coventry against Albion last season before a £1.3 million move to the North-East in January and has hit four goals in his last four outings for Boro.
Albion boss Gus Poyet, who has known Jutkiewicz since he was a teenager at Swindon, has revealed the 23-year-old featured on his list of potential signings.
Poyet said: “He was definitely on the list because he was one of the target men available at a reasonable price but we never made any approach.
“He was very young at Swindon but you could see already then that he was big, strong and difficult to mark. He’s got better and better with experience.
“He is a very important player for them (Boro) but I would prefer players not to be injured. It’s been the same for us. We didn’t have Macca (Craig Mackail-Smith) for a few games.”
Kuszczak is expected to be on the bench as cover for Przemyslaw Tyton for Poland in tonight’s World Cup qualifier against England in Warsaw.

I doubt this game will be draw either way. Boro are like spiders, just as scared of us as we are of them. Should be a good game and a well thought contest
There is not a single thing we can do to influence what team Mr Mowbray puts out on saturday so i for one am not going to give it a seconds thought. Id rather let them worry about us. What I am interested in is how our guys are looking? especially the likes of Cms, Crofts, Buckley and Vicente after their layoffs with injury. Uta

All of Albion's injured were back in full training today, all except one that is. No prizes. #bhafc

I'm a tad suspicious about Gus's last comment in not having CMS for a few games. Is this morse code for him not being available for Saturday? Paranoia? I hope so.

Half of me thinks his heart isn't it from the fiasco of him resigning for the club in the summer. We shall wait and see..

VR would have unlocked both Brum and Ipswich and we miss him more than CMS.
He's played more games than Will Hoskins in the same amount of time and the consensus among most posters on here is that we can't wait for Will to return. Why the angst then for VR? Yes it's frustrating that he's not fit, but the number of goals / assists Vincente contributed when he did play last season shows how important he may be to our chances of doing well this term.
With hindsight, playing him for the whole game against the Swindon cloggers was a significant mistake....

Lack of correct information about the condition of missing players leads to wild speculation
The club should be a bit more forthright
with current status etc
You can always read a lot in the silence

The failure to sign a quality target man either permanently or on a lengthy loan, since promotion, has long baffled me - Paynter and Vokes being patently very average at this level.
Just see Ipswich,who have very limited funds available have landed Nigel Reo-Coker on 3 month loan,he had 7 seasons in premiership-could he have done a job for albion? Still no sign of any target man-its been about 18 months now. Gus does not seem to be able to pin this one down.
Willie, Willie Irvine's posting today is particularly apposite.
