Faubert - Tomkins - Upson - Ilunga
Jimenez - Behrami - Noble - Collison
Diamanti
Cole

We need a win and I think we will get it. A nice 1 - 0 with Diamanti scoring that will restore some confidence in the defence and should kick start the season.

:crest:

Need to spend the next 10 days practising defending set plays HH93. Green, Upson and Cole will be in the Ukraine while we are supposed to be preparing.

Can see a use for Kovac in this one. Upson, Tomins and Cole have to stand tall as well.

it was bad enough drawing against a side with Konch and Paintsill in it.
Please God we don't lose to a team with Matty...

We need to keep a clean sheet at all costs this game. We have looked poor at the back this season and with a few players away it will be hard to get them properly prepared for the game.

----------- Cole - Diamanti

Think we're gonna need a bit of old fashioned grit this game, gabbs instead of Faubert might not be a bad shout either.

Exactly, that's our problem right there and a big reason why we ain't doing very well this season. Lack of quality simple as that. Still, when the new owners come in and conduct a through overhaul of the club, me thinks this, amongst loads of other things, will be addressed then

I agree that is exactly why we arnt doing well. There are too many youngsters in and arround the first team. That is esspecially worrying if we get into a relagation battle :?

Saying that I would say a comfortable 13th this season :D

Just to cheer all you sad ****ers up. Just take a look at our home fixtures in the second half of the season. Easy as pie 8-)

Great idea, except they are exactly the same height...
