Seeing our starting eleven really hits home how much of a Championship side we are.

yeesh..

Cissokho, Hutton and Baker in the back; Gardner paired with Jedinak :o

I do not see us getting a result with that line up, hope I am wrong.

No Ayew is criminal especially with Jack out.

I'm currently stood outside the away end thinking that walking straight back to the car might be the best move

I see the tombola is being used to pick the team again. How Cissokho be picked after sat is beyond me. No Ayew is pretty shocking too.

The bench would probably beat them.

Totally agree. I think it's going to be hoofball today. Jedinak and Gardner deep, Bacuna will be defensive minded and provided deep service. This looks like a line-up that is built to win the game on a late corner.

Thing is, if Forest for example put out a side with Gardner and Jedinak in, and that front 2, people would think it looked decent for this league.  So they are capable of getting a result.  Bruce's style might suit Gardner, and I am pleased with Gestede and Kodjia up front, I think if you are going to be pretty direct those 2 should create havoc, Adomah gives width and Bacuna can cross.  It will be interesting to see if he tucks in to make a 3 a fair bit. 

Not much you could do at the back of you play Bacuna in midfield and I think we need his running in there.

Oh, for fucks sake. No Tish? No Ayew? No midfield 3?
