I think Lambert has made it difficult for himself with respect to Cleverly after the noises he was making about him yesterday. If he wasn't undroppable before, he is more so now.

I think he'll go:

Brad

Hutton Okore Clark Aly

Sanchez

Sinclair Delph Cleverly

Gil

Weimann

Christ, there's not much balance there. Might be better to go three at the back if Vlaar is fit, with Hutton and Aly as wing backs. That might allow lads to get into the box and get on the end of things. Play Weimann upfront and have Sanchez and Delph anchor the midfield. Let Sinclair and Gil ping in a few tasty balls or get a run at McShane and Bruce

I don't think you can play Weimann as a loan-striker, his game's just not suited to it. Plus, playing him and Gil as the front 2 leaves us with a huge lack of height on the pitch. I'm pretty sure Benteke will start tonight just to give us a little bit more solididy when defending set-pieces. I think he'll go;

Guzan; Okore, Vlaar, Clark; Hutton, Westwood, Delph, Cissokho; Gil; Agbonlahor, Benteke.

See you all up there. Well, I'll see some of you. The others? Who cares, I'm a considerably better fan than them anyway.

It's been a while since I've been this scared going into a game. FFS.

We're just waiting for the whistle that says we are going over the top.  It's not so bad as we've been here before, we're used to it. 

Hmm...

Quote
Melchett:
 Field Marshal Haig has formulated a brilliant new tactical plan to ensure final victory in the field.

Blackadder:
 Ah. Would this brilliant plan involve us climbing out of our trenches and walking very slowly towards the enemy?

Captain Darling:
 How could you possibly know that, Blackadder? It's classified information!

Blackadder:
 It's the same plan that we used last time and the seventeen times before that.

Melchett:
 Exactly! And that is what is so brilliant about it! It will catch the watchful Hun totally off guard! Doing precisely what we've done eighteen times before is exactly the last thing they'll expect us to do this time! There is, however, one small problem.

Blackadder:
 That everyone always gets slaughtered in the first ten seconds.

Melchett:
 That's right. And Field Marshal Haig is worried this may be depressing the men a tad. So he's looking for a way to cheer them up.

Blackadder:
 Well, his resignation and suicide seems the obvious choice.

Melchett:
 Hmm, interesting thought. Make a note of it, Darling.

Lambert's training practices.

You mean they actually practice. I thought they just got drunk put on a silly hat and trusted their luck.

Throughout the season I don't think I've been this nervous.. I'm genuinely afraid of the consequences of this match.

Is a must win.  Will go 1-2 to us with a rare Gabby goal, and Gil to get the other.

1-1.  We will take the lead then try to hang on with predictable consequences late on.

I think we will lose 0-2 and Lambert will be sacked in the morning.

I'm sure we have the players good enough to win.  I don't think Lambert has the nous or the  balls to set us up to win.  1-0 I'm afraid.

Good luck to all those making the journey.

Just arrived in hull. It is very foggy. Not sure if natural or man made.
