[Scaloni Is The Messiah]

All about building confidence and momentum now. Need to break the home hoodoo before the play-offs. This would be a perfect time to break it.

[bubbles1966]

Subs: Henderson: O'Brien (if fit) ; Maynard: Lansbury : Baldock

Faubert or Faye if JOB out

We'll win this. First of 4 straight wins.

[Gummi]

Should we pay that 3 mil for Lansbury in the summer?

[claretcloggy]

We'll win this. First of 4 straight wins.

you reckon o'neil will feel at home, playing as a central, holding midfielder?

[Pop Robson]

Should we pay that 3 mil for Lansbury in the summer?

No

[bubbles1966]

Same set up that outplayed Reading for a long-ish period.

It'll be a football match rather than a physical contest against this lot.

[Pop Robson]

Our 3rd and final must win home game out of the last three.

A defeat, then a draw, so this one is a win.

Lets hope Reading lose 2 on trot

[Morocco Mole]

Lansbury's given Sam food for thought. His technique is obvious but I've been impressed with his attitude too.

Can Noble, Nolan and Lansbury all play in the same side? It worked in the second half today....

[Pop Robson]

Lansbury didn't get stuck into any tackles or headers today, did he make any decent passes ?

[Billydinho]

Lansbury didn't get stuck into any tackles or headers today, did he make any decent passes ?

No but he takes one hell of a throw.

[Aceface]

I'd have a reshuffle if McCartney is fit, and basically put out the side that beat Barnsley

[Pop Robson]

No but he takes one hell of a throw.

Yeah, that was a great one, worth trying the Stoke tatics with that throw

I have put Demel in but if O'Brien is fit I'd play him, I'm Faye's biggest fan but Reid is in the zone at the moment & Tomkins is the main man. We need Taylor for set plays & he will link well with Vaz Te who I think is better off the left but I liked the rotation of the side today & loved Nolan playing off the left.


So the attack might look more like this if the brum game is anything to go by.

That to me is just putting good attacking players on the pitch.

Faye, Taylor, Collison, Baldock, Maynard

If Macca ain't fit then play Taylor at left back.

[MD_HM]

Lansbury didn't get stuck into any tackles or headers today, did he make any decent passes ?

Yes plenty, changed the game in the middle for us, actually looking for a decent ball or to run with it.

Has to start from now on, he is a footballer

2 strikers in the starting line up again please.

[Doc H Ball]

Has to start from now on, he is a footballer

Yeah, I agree with that. He's patient with the ball.

Also agree with Taylor at left back if needs be - gotta be better than a centre half there. Ditto right back.
