This is a retribution a long time coming.

Don't just beat them West Ham.

With both Faye and Taylor out, I'd like to see a creative solution.

The Wardrobe at centre half (better positioned to deal with Zigic than McCartney is, too), with The Beatle in his natural position, and Mr. Potts on the left of midfield, exploiting his pace and crossing ability.

--------------------Green------------------

OBrien-----Diop---Tomkins---Macca

---------------------Nolan-----------------

-----------Lansbury-----Noble---------

Faubert-------------------------Hall/Potts

----------------------Cole------------------

I agree, Diop to counter for Zigic in Faye's absence and Macca at left back because of Redmond with either Hall or Potts on left wing.

Not confident about this one.
Get the sense that BFS has been found out by a number of opposing managers/coaches in what - by accident or design - appears to be a resort to 4-5-1 hoofball.
Will be watching the game in the hope that I will be proven wrong and will have to hang my head in shame for suggesting such a thing.

The matches versus Stoke and Birmingham last year were absolutely infuriating. I can honestly not remember any time in recent memory being as angry as I was during the Brum matches.

Hopefully we won't need him to see the pitch.

1-1...Zigic 7th minute, Nolan 80th.

After looking at the table I have decided that we are gona win today because a win will put us back at 2 points average per game. So considering that it's a nailed on win surely isn't it?!

(don't you just love that irrational optimism you get when the game gets closer?! Last week after Barnsley I was saying I would be delighted with a point at Birmingham!)

The one fixture I looked for when they came out was this one.

After last season, I developed a hatred for that ****hole of a club and I am gutted that I'm away so am missing this.

To all those going, ****ing give 'em some and get behind us as I know you will on the way to an important victory!

A massive hangover & baby gherkins equal watching this on the telly.

I've no strong hate for this lot, their hilarious relegation felt like revenge to me. They do bring back terrible memories of Avram & his half time motivational talents though.

Anyone know how many we're taking?

Got a feeling I'm going to have my wits about me today.
