Is Beto available today anyone know ? Or is he still not allowed.

 

[Blue Willy]

Nope. Concussion protocols.

Suppose it all boils down to fitness for the starting XI as I'm sure he'd have wanted to send out an unchanged side bar Youngey in for Myko.

Interested if Doucoure, Gueye and Garner are all deemed fresh enough to start as that's at the heart of the pitch and we can't afford any tired legs here. Onana and Gomes are good to start here for me.

Comon the Blues, a win today would put the seal on a very good week. Off for another 15 days from work, going to the Canary Islands on Monday morning and hopefully I will find a bar showing the Luton match so I can watch it in relaxing mode, please let it happen !!!!

 

[Kendal]

1-1 draw. I would be completely fine with that too. I think one more point seals it.

Play for the win if we play for a draw against these we’ll get beat. Just carry on from Wednesday and we’ll batter them.

 

[blue to the bone]

Dont count your chickens just yet. Big ifs, but if they win at Wolves and Brentford beat us, its squeaky bum time again.

Forest out of the mix are they ?

 

[Mr Happy]

Nope. Concussion protocols.

Didn't think there were such things in Prem.

Let's just hope it's not a case of after the lord mayor's show.

 

[Runub]

At least they can play free of massive pressure today whatever the Luton result is earlier in the day. Chance of winning three of the last four games which would be a decent effort across the season given all the issues surrounding the club. COYB

I think we will just have to hope that adrenaline carries over the line today, I just hope there is enough left in their legs after the running they put it in against Liverpool.

 

[Bluebonic]

Let's just hope it's not a case of after the lord mayor's show.

I get what you mean as our lot have let us down so often, but Brentford have only won three away games all season, so I think we should be confident of a point at least.

I reckon Dyche will go all out for the win today to secure his tenure for next season against what was a growing undercurrent of dissatisfaction. In truth, I think everyone shares the sentiment that the style of football, especially since December, has been horrendous to watch, but the 'achievement' of safety despite the absolutely awful and divisive hand we've been dealt is an exceptional achievement. We've proven we can play a bit but that lack of confidence in front of goal caused us to panic, lose confidence and go full hoofball - the last two wins, most notably Wednesdays, should have eradicated that fear.
We'll win today, ensure that the Old Lady's last season is fittingly in the top tier, and the whole of Goodison will give a massive, massive middle finger to Masters and his cohorts.

Third gig in a week, and what a great week it's been.

Could be a bit after the lord mayors show this today. Knackered and on a come down from Wednesday.

If they use that as an excuse for a sub standard performance, it’s not valid.

They’re professionals who played a 90 minute game midweek, it’s nothing out of the ordinary.

 

[Street end man]

Without the PL's interference in on the pitch matters a win today would see us on 44 pts, same as Brighton who most seem to admire.
Incredible really but sickening at the same time that the table won't show it.
