Having Gabby stuck out on the left is like playing with 10 men. I simply do not get it at all.



Having Ash play in the hole makes it like playing with 9

Indeed and there is a very cunning solution to this. I wonder if Gerry Hoollie will see it.

feel sorry for gabby, he's dying to stretch his legs but looks reluctant every time.

Dreadful football.

I agree with taking Downing off, putting Albrighton on ( down the right)  and playing Gabby alongside Benty.

Maybe take Makoun off for Petrov on 70.

To be honest, Makoun looks like he needs a game or two in the reserves to get up to speed.

Thought he was doing great until the booking, then he vanished

Erm, that was crap, wasn't it. Got to get Gabby in his proper position. Albrighton for Downing.
Spot on.

Yep, Heskey for Downing or Gabby I reckon. 4-4-2 second half. Or if not, at least swap downing and gabby

Plenty to be positive about there.

We need to step it up in the second half, and we'll be fine.

The way Downing is playing, make that 8.

Ipswich 45 minutes from Wembley.

I actually hope they win. I don't give a fuck about Blues, they'll get beaten tomorrow night anyway.

   Well i think its quite a good open game.

  Bent could have a hat trick tbh, and they play some nice football, certainly too good a team to go down.

  But 2nd half Gabby and Downing need to do a lot more, and be a lot better in possession.Baker has a nice turn of speed as well, does'nt look to bad a prospect.

Didn;t see the team announced earlier - who've we got on the bench?
