Andy can't cap a cap with a goal

Last night was not a good one for Bigger Lad, in action once again for England U21s. Following Saturday's assist against Portugal, he will have been hoping to go one better - but managed only a hat-trick of misses (header wide, post struck, crossbar shaken) as his side drew a disappointing blank against their Lithuanian opponents when a win could have taken them above Greece to the top of the group.

Let's hope for better from him when we take on Preston on Monday. At least it's some consolation that he's getting into positions where opportunities are presenting themselves - and that, unlike Arsenal's Kieran Gibbs, he didn't get crocked.
