They are crap.

Even crappier than we have been.

Let’s not make out we are going to The Pit or to Arsenal or sommat.
This is true

But they've got us and Norwich next game.

So they'll be thinking if they get 6 points, which they can easily do, then that's them really pushing for safety.

If we'd have drawn half the amount of games that Burnley have this season we'd be safe and that's the annoying thing
 
He has to play Branthwaite, for his height.

Godfrey will have to go left-back if Coleman is fit to go right-back. Mykolenko will get bullied I think.

If Coleman isn't fit then Godfrey or Holgate at RB, and Mykolenko will have to stand up - he wasn't awful the other day but I just don't think he's anywhere near this level but what can you do.

Go with a back 4, and Delph and Doucoure in midfield with one of Alli or Iwobi ahead of them. Gordon one side, Richy the other, DCL up top.

And ffs Frank, use your subs right.

Iwobi is the last person you want in a scrap
 
Seriously, the side that puts a formation out that suggests they want to win the game, will win it.

If we start 5 at the back we're going to lose. We have the better players, especially in attacking positions, so there really is no need whatsoever to try to soak up and hit on the break for 1-0.

We need to break the cycle and get the first goal, and we'll most likely be able to do that by starting with an attacking formation.

4-4-2 or 4-3-3. We have players available to put out a strong enough team to comfortably beat these.
 

I really can't see us winning tonight, I think a drab draw with 2 crap sides cancelling each other out, both as worried as each other about losing.

That said......I had a dream last night that we won 2-0 and DCL scored both before verbally abusing Jermaine Jenas in the after match interview, so I'm going to back that now (not the abuse bit) Some weird dreams lately !!
 
Some of these players have real quality on their day. For goodness sake, can just one or two of them show up and have their annual impressive display tonight? Not so much to ask.

I’m going for a scrappy and nail biting 1-0 win for us.
