They score first, draw in the end 2-2. Pressure on RDM grows.

Does anyone know if you can buy in the away end at the stadium. I am working in Manchester and really fancy going

Another draw 1-1.

Tshibola makes a huge difference in midfield - hopefully he can stay fit for the two games this week before his suspension kicks in for the Wolves game.

I like this however I think Kodjia should be central.

[mr underhill]

so do I, presumably we bought him to play centrally. I just don't get why players aren't played in their recognised position.

[Bottom Right 89]

They're 3 wins out of 4 at home this season, seem to have no problems scoring but have lost their last 2 games to Brighton and Reading. This will be no easy game but if we start as we finished Saturday should be more than capable.

Just need to stop messing about in defence and clear our lines rather than looking to play it out from the back all the time. I'd be giving Adoma another start, drop a defender and put  Tshibola in.

Up front is the difficult one - I really think Gestede should play, he causes chaos in the opposition box and something always drops for us from corners and crosses with him in there but then who do take out? If it was me Kodja would be main striker and I'd start Ayew and Gestede up with him tomorrow. McCormack/Hepburn/Grealish to come off the bench if it's not going to plan.

That's what the official site says.

When you call up Hookey, ask them how many we've sold. You'll make Quinton Villa's day!
