The team looks good so lets hope we can perform and go on a decent rum of form as from today.

I like the look of that team. Bit more solidity in midfield compared to the Wigan line-up, and potential creativity and pace up front. When you see a team like that you wonder why we're struggling so much. Then you realise.

Yep best team to pick under the circumstances. No Ivanhoe in midfield thankfully. Blackburn are going to scrap and scrap hard but we should have enough to beat them.

If we lose the Manager is shit.

If we win he's even shitter.

We found this formation when Bent was out and played our best, he hasn't played it since.

Because it would have been an easy decision to leave out your record signing when was fit again wouldn't it? And it would have also created a million new threads on how it meant we are a selling club and we're about to cash in on Bent.

How many games have we won without Bent?

Praying for a win here. Anything but three points and we're sinking into the bottom mess with real momentum.

Should win, a draw would be deflating but not a complete disaster.  A loss doesn't bear thinking about.
