Watkins hat-trick incoming

Will he get any more in the 2nd half ?

I've a sneaking feeling Ramsey will score tonight.

I've a sneaking feeling Ramsey will score tonight.

I'd put a tenner on the fact he won't.

[Skerra]

Very defensive selection on our part. Just hope we attack them rather than waiting for the Geordies the chance of taking the lead.(ie..game over)!

[JuanMartinez]

Some bonkers comments on here, if Cash is on bench it means he’s able to cover part of the game if needed but ideally not to play from star, it’s not rocket science.

[PaulWinch again]

Surprised to see Ramsey start, not Sanson.

I would have swapped them round.

Agree very tough on Sanson, Dean doesn't seem to rate him for some reason.

I don't think that's the case at all, he's just settling in. Jacob has looked decent anyway and who knows how they are performing at BH?

He's 4-1 with William Hill anytime and 10-1 to score first

No need to rush him back and risk a strain against these when the Spurs game is nine days away. We should have enough quality on the pitch to beat these without taking unecessary risks.

We've scored 5 goals in our last 8 games. Not too sure where this sort of confidence is coming from to be honest!

He did buy him for 14m only a few weeks ago!

I'm sure he will get minutes tonight at some stage. He's a bit lightweight just yet for 90 mins of EPL midfield play I think. I'm happy with Ramsey in but Trez on left is almost a guaranteed sub we will have to make already. Big game for Luiz, in the team on reputation only currently, needs to reward Smiths faith in him.

Just watching RMC Sport before the game. They are showing a mini-biopic of Lee Sharpe's career. It is called 'Lee Sharpe: a career that fell short of expectations.'

This with bells on, Smith is the manager, trust him.  No need for negativity.

Interestingly, or not, 'Sharpie' was quite scathing in his memories of David O'Fuckwit when he was at Dirty Leeds.
