The play offs.

[Legion]

What would be your starting XI and subs for the first leg of the play-offs assuming everyone is fit and available?

[Keeno]

We are better than Boro and if we get to a final against Derby or Fulham, Derby have been pretty poor in recent months despite their late rally and Fulham will hopefully have the hangover of missing out on second place.

I think at Wembley that form of the last month will matter less. Over two legs in your respective stadiums it may do more.

I'd fancy us against either in the final (if we get there!) for a few reasons - Fulham are in the classic just-missed-out frame of mind which never helps - and Derby have a colourful, recent history of bottling these big occasions. We have the manager for it and some vastly experienced players in these big games in our squad, from Jedinak, Elmo to of course Terry.

Thanks Richard

We’ve played Boro at home twice this season and didn’t score in either game. Given our home record it’s unlikely they’ll escape a third time. Bring it on.

Hotel booked for Friday night in Newcastle.

Bring it on.

What would be your starting XI and subs for the first leg of the play-offs assuming everyone is fit and available?

Johnstone
El Mohamady - Chester - Terry - Hutton
Albert - Jedinak - Hourihane - Snodgrass
Grealish
Grabban
Subs: Bunn, Taylor, Whelan, Lansbury, Green, Kodija, RHM

Only two I hesitated over was Jedinak or Whelan, then RHM or Hogan on the bench but I think RHM would be a more useful impact sub (as he actually makes an impact).

I feel physically sick watching Villa in run of the mill games.  God knows what I’m going to be like for these.

Bruce has usually come up trumps when it gets to games that really mean something / his job's on the line

I’m hoping so but this year we have lost away at Wolves, Cardiff, Derby and Fulham so no he doesn’t win that many for us when it means something.

Bit tight that given we had 2800 in the league.

I would reciprocate. It will be a 1000 more than they usually bring anyway.
