These are the games that we don't do well in. Tuesday night, low crowd, dead atmosphere, flat performance, shit opposition.

0-2

Some changes needed after Saturday's inept efforts.  Elmohamady back in at RB, Bjarnason for Jedinak, Hourihane for Lansbury and Hogan for Grabban are the changes I would make.  Bench something like:

Bunn, Bree, Axel, Jedinak, Lansbury, Kodjia, Grabban

[adrenachrome]

One issue on which I will agree with QV is that it will be a low attendance (in terms of actually occupied seats) with a flat atmosphere.

As far as the result is concerned, I have often correctly predicted we would games in far more adverse conditions, but I would not venture a prediction on this one.  If the ref allows them to whack Jack, Snodd or Albert early on, expect the worst.

[Goldie.7]

1-0. Hutton somehow fumbles it over the line from a really scrappy set piece.

[Ads]

Got to press and do far more off the ball than we have the last 3 games.

Bikir in for Jedinak and Hourihane for Lansbury. The midfield to be 15-20 yards higher and get closer to the front man.

[VinnieChase84]

Woke up feeling confident. 3-1 win.

[mr underhill]

can you throw some my way?

I'm confident we'll pick up the necessary wins. I can't pretend I have much interest in it.
The next month and a bit is going to draaaag.

0-1. Clement to out think and out coach Bruce.
