    NUFC vs Sheff Utd

    Other than the question of whether Wilson is fit, one big issue is Darlow or Dubravka.

    As I've said, I think Dubravka is a better 'keeper and he's our number 1 as far as I'm concerned ( I mean, I know he actually is as well )

    But...when you look at how well Darlow has played these last few months, I don't think another 'keeper could have done any better. Certainly I can't recall any goals where you thought 'that was down to Darlow' whether it was because his positioning was wrong or he didn't come for a ball that was his, dropped a clanger...whatever, because his progress has been excellent. So, with all that being said, I think he deserves to keep his Premier League place.

    Maybe you could argue he knew the score and was always going to go back on the bench once Dubravka was fit because that's the role of a No2 'keeper...but I think it would be harsh.

    The other thing I would like to see is Anderson on the bench. Oh, and Hendrick but for two totally opposite reasons.

    And I'm sure we'll see Bruce go on the attack-as he has told us he likes to do-against a team without a PL win these season.....
