Right then striker the neet.

Whilst I'm not a massive fan of Mitro(he's bang average at best) he must play tonight.
Bang average puts him streets ahead of Hoss,I get it; what Rafas thinking is and the way he plays him(Hoss) but surely it's horses for courses and we aint playing a top four tonight.
Him and Gayle up top,lets take the game to them and take the much needed win,cos we fecking need it..

We've got a pretty fair ref for this game so that's a bonus.

I'd definitely play Mitro and Gayle and any other forward rather than Joselu.
He's had his chances and even though I've tried and better tried to be patient with him, but he's just far too slow and haphazard in terms of taking chances and....well...to be brutally honest, I think he should be left out i a field to graze.

I reckon Mitro and Gayle can form a decent enough partnership until January and get us some well needed goals, starting with tonight.

I'm going for a nice comfortable 4-1 win for us tonight with Gayle getting 2 and Mitro and Ritchie the other two.

i dont think it matters who we play up front
first we need to sort the middle out and win that battle

whoever we play up front will need service and if they are all getting pulled into shelveys gaps and waiting for his 40 yard hoofs then they wont get it
we should win tonight
not comfortably

but away from home without the pressure of the crownd im sure we will win
iwould start with mbemba holding in front of our back 4

he will only play 1 upfront im sure
two heavy defeats with two up top im sure rafa will go back to bodies behind the ball

mind he is only up against a number two tonight and an old war horse in that and WBA wont make it easy
they had a good rsult agains spuds although a little bit weary from the europe trip

their players are playing for their new manager

lets see what happens

I would play Mbemba there as well,I divvint think we will see as many 40 yard punts as Saturday cos they wont be playing 3 at the back.I wouldnt be bothered if Shelvey doesnt even play(hope he doesnt)
Recently he's reminded me of Shearer when he was on his last legs,in as much everything has to go through him.
They HAD to pass to Shearer,it's the same now,even if they have to track back 5 metres to find the fecker when there's a knocking pass just begging ahead of them..Or the imbeciles wait till he runs back 5 metres to collect said pass...

[Zippity]

Whoever plays up top-and I think it should be Mitro-I think 4-4-2 has had it. At least with the 4-4-1-1 or 4-5-1 we played in the first few games, we looked pretty solid defensively.

I'd settle for a point tonight, if i'm honest. Saturday was SO bad that even a huge improvement would bump us up to only 'acceptable'. In a two horse race we were third. And if we were a horse, we'd be glue by now...and pretty shit glue at that. And anyone who was there will know i'm not over-exaggerating; it really was that bad.

[Jammy89]

I think we'll need to revert back to what Rafa had before, he's done the 4-4-2 that was called for and we've leaked goals. Haven't got the players for it currently.

I'd take a point as well Zip, something to stop the rot setting in.

A win would be lovely though.

A Mitro start would be good but sadly i still don't see it happening.

I think we need 4-4-2 it sends amessage of intent and it's effective against teams at the same standard as us (s h ite!) keep the 4-4-1-1 for Saturday when we will f u cking need it

[Jammy89]

Maybe Ash, not sure i buy that at the minute though. Might send the message that they can tear straight through us.
