Let's hope Sam can name the same team - Faye can come in for Tomkins if he doesn't make it back in time.
I'd like to see Barrera on the bench, and wouldn't risk Carew, even as a sub :think:

Any of our Dutch friends know if it will be possible to watch this in Amsterdam? I am going for a stag weekend staying right in the centre. Any pubs around there might have BBC or another channel to show it?

Thanks

You'll defo get somewhere mate. I was in the Dam for the Cardiff game and at least one of the pubs was showing it (an Irish one I think). Just keep an eye on the sandwich boards outside the pubs and you'll see somewhere...

Howson and Gradel both served one match bans in the last game, so both are available for Sunday

He might have some success passing the full backs but he will then run into the brick wall that is Faye :twisted:

Kind of agree with yer, considering our **** awful record against this lot, but we are already 3 points adrift of 4 clubs, so we just can't afford to drop any points, whilst those teams above us are in good form, so, we have to assume they will all win again this weekend and that puts the pressure on us to win. If do win and a couple of the teams who are above us lose, we will still only be 3 points behind a couple of them and those 2 teams will be feeling very uneasy about life with us breathing down their necks. Having said that, if we are 1-2 down going into the 93rd minute, I will definately take a 2-2

Should be a good test for us. We need a solid home win, after two very good away results. Not going to get too excited just yet, looking at the table, we've just beaten the bottom team and the third from bottom team. Let's see where we are 10-12 games into the season. Brighton, Soton and Derby will lose their share of games, we just need to concentrate on what we're doing. I think it'll be a tight game, and I'll take a hard-fought 1-0 victory, which should have been the result against Cardiff if Nolan had powered home his chance from two yards out.

Can't change a winning team, Carlton to get the winner.
