What is it with Quinn and horses?

Incest?

Incest?

No, incest is with relatives so that would be donkeys rather than horses.

[Villafirst]

Hoping McCormack is fit. Though I think there's a good case for 433 and that would mean him playing out of position- e.g. on the left of the attacking three

Also wonder if adomah comes into the reckoning. I'd probably keep ayew to be honest.

Gollini

Chester elphick baker cissokho

Westwood Jedinak grealish

Ayew kodjia McCormack

Subs: bunn bacuna Richards Amavi Tshibola adomah gestede

Adomah needs to start plus Tshibola in for Westwood.

[VancouverLion]

Due a win, 1-0 Kodjia 76mins

Who knows which way this one will go with Football and Championship the way it is.  Not sure whether being the home team improves our chances or not.  They will be egger to atone for the Wolves result.  Hopefully the crowd can be a big alley on our side, but I gotta be honest last week was probably only a blip for them.  We have a lot of work to do.  0-1 to them.

If the crowd is a big alley?

Have you ever tried to negotiate "Lovers Walk" from Aston Station against a fierce North Wind and battled through sloughs of leaf mulch and mulch more which should not be mentioned on a family website?

The humanity!

[Jean Quereue-Quereue]

At least with this match people might not be predicting a walloping of the opposition - so less pressure on the players compared to previous?  I'll take any psychological boost.

[Matt Collins]

Grealish may not start after more hippy crack allegations I guess . . .

I hope that the 'hippy crack allegations' don't lead to him being dropped. Tequila is infinitely more potent and it'd be sort of ok if he was doing that on Saturday (although preferable if he was doing neither).

All this 'Hippy Crack' bollocks, is exactly that. Daily mail my arse.

We will smash them.

[sid1964]

Another draw for me at best

Otherwise it could be a late winner for them, more pressure on RDM

[Matt Collins]

I'll be interested to see Jedinak in this big game. I've just never been that impressed by him and so far he's played up to what I've seen before. But he's obviously got something that's impressed others. We definitely need him for this one.

[sid1964]

I agree Matt, at the moment I am struggling to see how Jedinak improves  the team, he looks like a player who is here for the last few years of his career, and we have given him his pension contract!

I hope that he improves, hopefully when Tisch, plays alongside him
