NJS Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 We'll get beat and anyone who thinks otherwise hasn't got the first fucking clue what they're talking about. Number one in a series: "The other team were fired up by Sam" "Kaka was making his debut" "Derbies can always go either way" "West Brom are down there and scrapping and were at home" "Everton are an excellent away side" "Bolton are always hard to play against" "Fuck - good teams" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Bit depressing that no-one has even come out with the obligatory "this is a must-win" cliche of the week yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
plenum Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Daily Mail think Barton could make the bench. Bloomin' 'eck, didn't realise he was so close to coming back. Good news, I just hope (again) Guthrie stays in. Doubt it though. Barton should make a timely come back against s********d. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sicko2ndbest Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Blackburn have tightened up at the back, have santa cruz back against a defense that is shit in the air, no Martins Only one result people Blackburn comfortable win Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Maybe Sam can convince them we are too dangerous and deflate them enough for us to get a draw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 First twenty minutes will decide the result, we always seem to be capable in the first twenty then lose control and panic afterwards. If Owen is focused with spagetti coming to see him we might just scrape a draw. I-ll be positive 2 2 draw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we score early we tighten up allowing the opposition forward, when we dont score early the longer the game goes on the more likely we are to again tighten up!

Lenny Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Judging by what we've got available (if Taylors passes fit) I'd probably go with: Given Edgar Taylor Colo Bassong Duff Butt Guthrie Jonas Owen Xisco I know that means moving Bassong over to left back, but I'd quite honestly rather have Edgar in defence than N'Zogbia. I'd rather see Butt dropped for N'Zogbia but that's not going to happen, hence sticking Butt in my lineup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 A bit fruity.... Given Taylor - Colo - Bassong Jonas Zog (Wing backs) Butt Guthrie Lua Lua Duff Owen Or drop Duff and play Xisco up top with Owen, just can't see JFK playing Xisco twice in a week cos he's as idiot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.S.R. Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I'd go for one up front. Damage limitation, protect the goal difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hakka Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I'm starting to think that we could get something out of this game. Given the misses Owen has had of late he is due to score in this game. I'm also thinking about the Portsmouth away game and wondering if we could produce this performance again, it wasn't that long ago. We did do ok against Hull, it was a lack of finishing that prevented us from stepping it up another gear. If we don't win this game then it will because of that amount and who we have injured. I'm just hoping that some of young players who come in will surprise a few. It would be nice to see Lua Lua, Carroll or Xisco get a goal today.

Parsley Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Given Taylor Colo Bassong N'Zogbia Lua Lua Butt Guthrie Jonas Owen Xisco ...is what I'd play. Jonas will give Charlie plenty of cover to make up for his defensive frailties and both have pace and guile in attack. Lua Lua looked promising against Hull and I'll be disappointed if he doesn't at least feature today. Xisco is better than Carroll imo and with an alright performance mid-week should start again. I think we'll go a goal down in the first half but come back strongly, get an equaliser and come within inches of winning it right at death, 1-1.

We had Martins in that game and IMO he's crucial to our chances in away games bbbecause he has pace. Not everyone agrees but I've yet to see us play well away from home when he's not in the team.
