Looks a 4-2-3-1 to me. Keane needs to make sure he plays close enough to both the midfield and Bent, not leave either isolated or outnumbered.

It'll be very interesting to see how that team goes.

A lot of what we've been asking for has happened - Warnock dropped, Gardner given a chance, very attacking line-up.

Wonder what's happened to N'Zogbia?

Looking forward to seeing Gardner start, hopefully start of some good things to come from him.

Wow what a line up. That is quite an exciting looking team. Fair play to McCleish it is a very bold move. I presume Nzog and Ireland are not available?

Ireland has a hamstring problem, according to Mat Kendrick.

Both forgot to buy McMinge a birthday card.

This is the moment that many of us have been waiting for. To see Gardner make his full debut. He'll thrive on this in my opinion. Good luck young man.

Can't watch the game today, so cheer them on for me boys. I'll have some good news to announce today from earlier in the week.

Decent line up I think. Stan can sit, Gardner provides the energy as well as some attacking ability. Keane can float a little, which is his best role really. We look capable of keeping the ball well, which is imperitive if we're gonna get Benty a lot of service.
Gabby wide left should have a field day against their Right back. We can switch wingers too. Wolves Full-backs are shite so we could have a lot of joy today.

Lets hope we play decent football and take the game to them. I can't take much more dreary, negative football.

Not sure what to make of that. We have five strikers in the squad and four midfielders. At least we'll go for it. Looking forward to seeing Gardner.

Bit worried about the lack of Zog, he's been dropped from the team for disagreements with McLeish before this season, let's hope that's not happened again.

Also haven't heard anything of Ireland's 'injury' before just now...is something going on?

I think NZogbia is  little unlucky, he was excellent at Chelsea then on the right not left against Swansea where he has struggled and not been seen since.
