CaliMag Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I am thinking we'll lose this one. I honestly cannot see us winning this. If we get a draw we'll be lucky. I am interested to see what impact Alan can make, but other than confidence building it doesn't change the fact we don't have anyone who can cross or even take a corner. I am seeing an argument to bring on Carroll and as much as he has impressed as at a target player he'll just stand there like a statue without service - so will Owen. We'll lose a bitter midfield battle with no pace on our side and our strikers will be starved of service. I wish we had Barton back for this one in place of Butt.

jimmymag Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 ;D Do you guys fancy your chances on saturday? It's a must-win for us. So not particularly. If we can't beat s**** like Stoke Hull when we need to then we deserve to go down. Yep. Why? Surely with that logic we deserve to stay up for beating Villa and drawing with Chelsea and Man U. The teams that deserve to go down are those with the least points. I'm simply making the point that we indeed cannot beat shite teams when we need to, like Hull. Who have the worst home record in the league. We completely deserve to go down as things stand. We had Hughton mismanaging us against Hull. If Al can't inspire this lot of wasters and underachievers to beat the likes of Stoke then we deserve to go down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DannyStokie Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I think some people are trying to get a reaction We are though at the moment in a stronger position than yourselves, with our brilliant home form, and current good form, we should be looking for the win, but this is stoke and we never do it the easy way.

Ash Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Harper Beye - Taylor - Bassong - Enrique Guthrie - Butt - Jonas Owen Carroll - Martins Four, three-fucking-three (or 4-3-1-2 if you want to be pedantic ) can win us this. Fixed my post. Opted for Carroll in place of Xisco after his two goals tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisMcQuillan Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I was going to say Guthrie'll probably be out injured now. However, that'll probably guarantee him a place in the squad now, as we seem to enjoy playing people who are of questionable fitness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
80 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I'm just hoping we can snatch this... scrappy 0-1, 74th minute kind of thing. Praying that we go with a 4-3-3, but have no expectation of us doing so. I'd be over the moon... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
QBG Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Will be far from easy, I reckon it'll be a draw 1-1 but can with a bit of luck see us snatching it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Darth Toon Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Carroll getting a start is surely more likely now, and his physical presence would be useful, but with Owen guaranteed to play that means leaving Martins out, which leaves sod all pace up front. The return of 4-3-3 really could be the way forward here, with a midfield trio of Butt, Nolan and Gutierrez. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
