Drinkwater in for Wellens and Delfounso in for Gallagher in my opinion

Don't think Wellens will be up for completing two 90 mins in a week

Spot on, not sure whether to play Delfouneso up front with Beckford or let him play on the right....... :dunno:

Surely if we wanted Cotterill we would of got him by now?

Plus I no need in resting Konchesky

I think Cotterill is 'backup', so it depends if we get any other wide players or not........ :dunno:

I thought Konchesky looke a bit tired and 'frazzled' yesterday, Kennedy might well be worth a start.

Watching the 'Boro game at the moment, they are really going hard at each other, 90 minutes of this and they will be knackered..... :thumbup:

They've been impressive in the first half v Sunderland. Will be a tough test I'm sure, however if we are serious about making a late surge we have to expect to beat good teams like Boro.

Posted

Granted, they're beating Sunderland. But honestly speaking, from this 45 minutes I don't see why we should have any fear. They seem sloppy in midfield and defence, and we can more than match their ability going forward. Their talisman Emnes in particular looks suprisingly lacklustre.

EDIT: Saved by the flag. Sunderland just haven't turned up. Beatable outfit.

Danny Coyne just gone off injured! I'm good mates with a season ticket holder at Boro and I know that the kid that has come on in his place is not that good. Made a right mess of a long range shot a couple of weeks back vs Burnley.

I fancy us to win this, they're not that strong going forward and we're playing with confidence at the moment so I fancy a 1-0 or 2-0 win.

They're in a poor run of form in the league, so it could be a good time to play them.

Drinkwater and Delufouneso will be back, and we could have potential new signings involved.

Hopefully MON's Sunderland will tire them all out today.

They did lose their keeper today I believe.

Not an easy game but I feel we may be good enough to sneak a win, 1-0 or something. Think it will be one of those games.

I would bring Drinkwater in for Gallagher, that is all, looking at something like;

Kasper

Peltier -- Mills -- St Ledger -- Konchesky

Drinkwater -- Wellens -- Danns

Beckford -- Nugent -- Dyer

Posted

They'll be significantly tougher opposition than we've faced in the last 3 games.

so you would opt to change the 4 4 2 formation that has scored us 8 goals and 3 clean sheets in 3 games to a similar 4 3 3 to which we lost at home to barnsley. Wouldnt be a good move IMO. I agree with bringing drinkwater though!

Posted

If we don't bring in a wide player then i can see NP using the formation used at Palace (if Morgan is confirmed)

Kasper

Morgan Mills St Ledger

Pelts Danns Drinkwater Wellens Konch

Beckford Nugent

Thoughts?

Well, we haven't got any quality wide men. And I thought we played more of a 3 at Southampton once Drinkawater came on. I know it is a different game because we were away, but, I thought we were creative a fluid in what I think was a 3.

Let's not beat about the bush... If we want to keep the momentum up this is a game we need to win.

Borough could be one of those sides we are competing with come the end of the season for a play off spot.

Three points needed.. Anything else is insufficient now IMO.

4-4-2

with drinkwater in for wellens (fitness)

fonz in for gallagher

Hopefully come out with a win if you look at current form but you never know with leicester

Posted

Kasper

Peltier

Mills

St Ledger

Koncheskey

Drinkwater

Wellens

Danns

Dyer

Beckford

Nugent

subs: Logan , Morgan , Kennedy , Gallagher , Delfounseo

I would like to see us play this team. It would be good for Drinkwater to get a start and I haven't been impressed with Gally recently. I reckon we will win and it's important to keep up the momentum we have been creating.

Absolutely spot on Col........ :thumbup:

The league is pretty tight and a play off spot though possible is a really tough ask. We need 2 points a game average to have a realistic chance, we need to maintain our current form and keep winning, we have to take all 3 points on wednesday to keep the momentum going.

A lot will depend on the next couple of days, we need reinforcements if we are going to stand a chance of maintaining the sort of form necessary........ :fc:
