Finally all the pieces are falling together . . . All the answers I’ve been searching for are on the verge of totally being answered. I put in the goddamn man hours, the f*cking muscles, the sweats, the tears... Now it’s my turn...

Atomsphere could be key for this one. Blow the roof of early doors lads and keep behind the boys for the full 90.

If we get behind the lads, they'll do Reading.
We owe them one, can't remember the last result against them.

Even though the 451 worked for us tonight (eventually), to settle the crowd and go out for attack we need two up top.


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

Faubert-----Faye----Tomkins-----McCartney/Taylor

-------O'neil--------Noble--------Vaz Te------

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

-------------Baldock-------Maynard----------


Cole is just not cutting it, and these two up top would encourage us to play ball to feet, which on tonight's display apparently we can do. Faubert and McCarntey/Taylor could provide the overlaps and crosses, if not O'neil and Vaz Te themselves but also allowing them to run infield through the defence. Noble to stay relatively deep with the dinks over the top or through the defence for Baldock to blister on to and rocket into the net! Round peg in round whole.

COYI! 3-1 West Ham win.

They are planning to throw loads of old socks on the pitch if they score something to do with Kebe...

Green
Faubert Tomkins Collins Lionel
Noble Nolan Collison
Vaz Te Maynard Taylor.

Same as the second half today, but with Collison instead of O'Neil, he offers more going forwards. Play the ball to feet and we'll smash 'em.
