Again we turn up at that place with one of thier ex managers.
We should be better than this.

I can't imagine being so unremittingly and unwaveringly negative. It must be tiring.

I sort of hope that after Saturday's results, we're out of the play off places so we have to go there and win to get back in.  I don't want any negative playing for a draw nonsense.

That's my concern. The jury is still out on us away from home. Playing two up front would be a promising sign of intent.

I would rest Kodjia for the first 60 minutes and have him come on for Davis after he's knocked the shit out of the defenders and possibly got a couple of them booked for good measure

It would be a massive lift for them if they saw Kodjia was only on the bench. He's arguably the only player we've got who is a bit unpredictable and can make something out of nothing.

I dreamt about this match last night. I can't remember what happened though. Not sure whether that's a good or bad thing.

Anyway FTF.

I'm not one of Bruce's biggest fans, but even I don't think he's stupid enough to leave Kodija out and rely on someone as inexperienced as Davis, in a game like this.

it'll be the same as always when we play them, they'll kick the crap out of us, we'll get little or no protection from the man in black; and maybe we will show one flash of decent football, and perhaps score.

so me , with that mind set I'm going for 4 - 1 to us.

Give it a rest.


I can't remember us ever turning up at their place with one of their ex managers apart from last season with the same manager we have now.
