Wallsendmag Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Just not confident about this without Shelvey bossing the midfield. The lack of any creative spark without him is worrying. For that reason I'd play Diame at CM in place of Colback which would mean Perez would have to start but at least it gives us a more offensive look in the middle of the park. Hayden and Colback in the middle is turgid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perez has been poor this season, no question, but I'd rather play him off Gayle and have Atsu and Ritchie as our wide players with Hayden and Diame in the middle. Tbh I'd rather Mitrovic started with Gayle but as there's no chance of that happening I'd be happy enough with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have literally zero attacking threat down there with Dummett and Gouffran. Just hope he starts Yedlin at RB again today because he gives us so much going forwards.

frankpingel Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Think we'll be seeing Grouffran back today. Hope Yedlin retains his place but I've a feeling Anita will return. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robster Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 We're going to get absolutely rinsed by Newcastle. Last time, Coyle pulled off his one season high profile victory, much like what Kean did. This time, he won't get lucky and I can see Newcastle just completely destroying us, live on sky as well. Be amazed if we concede less than 3. A post many of its kind from one of their forums. Don't think they're very confident. So 1-0 Blackburn. I'd imagine that most of them were saying the same before the game at SJP. I still think we'll win but just 0-1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hayden and Colback in the middle is turgid. Agreed - this, and the lack of pace(Gayle apart)up front are the biggest worries. Its one thing to lose matches unluckily, it happens to all teams, but quite another when you are not creating many real chances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 You'd reckon Diame and Atsu, depending on fitness, would both start given it's going to be their last game for a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not 100% sure but I think it gets played on the 17th/18th of January so the Brentford game gets moved forward to Saturday 14th of January.
