Fancy a win now Champions League standard Bacuna has left them.

[CT]

I would imagine their midfield has just got substantially better now Bacuna has left.

We need to keep the momentum going - 2-1 to us.

Team could be;

Kalinic

Taylor

Fer

Hourihane

McGinn.

Will the game be on, if we get the snow as forecast? - if it goes ahead then 0-2 win and we are on the march to the play offs!

Started snowing down here about 8:45pm...not heavy but big flakes and looks like it’s sticking. Only about a mile or so away from the ground so will provide updates tomorrow.

That midfield! So lightweight. I’d welcome Jedinak back right now.

[Matt Collins]

Think it will be the same 11, hopefully in the same 4231, as against Ipswich

Maybe mings for Chester if he looks ready to step straight in

I think Mings will definitely start for Chester. It would surprise me if he had surgery. It was like he was playing in treacle the past few weeks.

[Matt Collins]

I'm sure that's the plan

Just don't know if it will be immediate

Smith says he's match fit. Chester has been visibly deteriorating.
