We tend to stand off teams too much for my liking. The teams who have done well against them, including the great unwashed down the road, have got in their faces and disrupted their style. Under pressure they don’t look too clever. Their weakness is their defense.

I'd say Bjarni is probably the player in the squad who could do it the best so I'd consider starting him.If we can't get in the faces of the Fulham trio they will play the ball around us and dominate so giving Sessegnon plenty of chances to run with the ball at our defence.
If Steve Bruce can produce a game plan like he did against Middlesborough I'll be happy.

I understand why people are suggesting bringing Bjarnason in for this game but, as I see it, there is absolutely no way that he’s not going to start with Jedinak for a game of this pressure and importance. Not a chance.
