I want to get Delph time on the pitch but he hasn't played for weeks so wouldn't start him, i put Walker in midfied because he is aggressive and very quick, Petrov is just too slow for me,  Makoun will be good for us next season but he hasn't adjusdted to the pace of the prem.
There are not many on our list that fill me with confidence or who feel they owe any loyalty to the club.

So you'd put a right back in the centre of midfield for a key game?  Are you MON is disguise? lol  FWIW I'd go for a solid and unspectacular 4-5-1 with Bent on his own up top.  Friedel, Walker, Young, Cuellar, Dunne, Downing, NRC, Delph, Makoun, Young and Bent.  Don't lose.  The point (at least) could be very valuable.

Better than playing the same midfield that could not break down a pathetic ten man West Brom.

Well, here's a thought.  Play a different midfield then.  Involve Makoun, Delph, Bannan, Albrighton etc, call up Gary Gardner or Michael Bradley.  But don't put a right back in the centre of midfield. We are bad enough as it is.

Everyone seems to have forgotten Pires?

I haven't.  I see that cnut every time I close my eyes at night.  It's a never ending nightmare.

I'd bring back Heskey if he's fit in place of Gabby. That's really the only change i'd make. If Heskey is'nt fit, i'd recall Delfouneso and have him on the bench.

If we win we're definitely safe and I wouldn't experiment too much for this game. I wouldn't drop NRC or Petrov, but I would bring in Cuellar for Collins and Heskey for Gabby. And I wouldn't have Pires on the bench, let alone in the starting XI.
