If we move the ball quickly we have a chance. That's our biggest failing and will be shown up by even an out of form prem team. I'd like to see Johnno up the pitch giving a bit of steel to our midfield. .. as to the Attack ... big conundrum. Nugent but do we want to rush him back ? Bent well he's got loads of experience but but he has lacked some mobility in the last few games. Can we really rely on him to stab one in every game ? Vydra .. risk him being too isolated because he doesn't go foraging deep enough or make use of his pace ?

Looking forward to it and a stonking atmosphere COYR

Johnson has to come back as DM for his strength and experience.

Bryson probably edged it on his second half performance.

Bent should keep his place as he's on decent form and he's our second biggest goal threat.

Russell's hard work will be very much required.

Will need Ince and Hughes to be at their best.

Tempted to play Christie at RB just because of Leicester's pace.

Stick with Pearce and Keogh, they're the best centre half pairing.

 

I just hope that unlike Man U, Liverpool and Chelsea (twice), we at least give it a go.

We know Christie is going to take over from Baird, so he may as well go in now.

I think I want Johnson in the attacking midfield role instead of Bryson. Set pieces may get us more opportunity of winning this game and I like the muscle he brings.

Carson
Christie
Keogh
Pearce
Olsson
De Sart
Hughes
Johnson
Ince
Bent
Russell

We need to believe we can win this game, which I very much think we can.

I'm nervous about de Sart tbh, I'm not confident from what I've seen so far he can provide the necessary defensive cover for the back four.

I do, just depends on him

 

Agree with the team @rammieib

Best Referee in the world.

Against West Brom he did it well, Leeds awful, Reading average.

However, Johnson who tackles and heads the ball like a one man army can't do anything with the ball when he gets it. My preference is for quality on the ball over brute force. I get why some fans prefer it the other way.

I want Johnson in my team for his physical presence in both boxes. Not sure he gets forward enough but then nobody does anymore sadly. Bryson presses but does little else IMO (Yes good assist to Ince but anyone should be able to make that pass) and Butterfield is so horizontal he is planking. So who is the best to partner Hughes? Hhmm. Million dollar question.
