Good afternoon fight fans.
Bolt On in the FACUP make it is then. And before any examination of our own can of worms transpires we need to stare long and hard into the face of the opposition. Well, in actual fact, not too long. The Wanderers have had an abysmal season.
The Trotters sit fourth from bottom only as the suicide wish has been stronger in a hopeless Wigan, a Wolves side that when in free fall was actually sabotaged by their own board and a QPR mob that are literally a bonfire of vanities.
‘Form goes out the window in the Cup!’
I’m split as how to reply to such a call. Split between answering, ‘That’s rubbish’ or ‘So what?’
The bottom line is that they have played some of the most uninspiring Premiership football this season. So are they up for doing a ‘Birmingham’ or up for staying in the division? Again, who cares, as I do not recognise this mob as a credible obstacle.
Above is my selection. But this is wholly dependent upon the players being deployed to their strengths. Without being cute, you can take those players, stick Brad up front in a 451 and it doesn’t work.
Predictions?
Arry is many things but ‘unaware of the grief he will have personally aimed at him should we go out of the Cup’ isn’t one of them. It will be interesting to put it mildly to see just how we do. Tomorrow. We ought to win. We bloody well will win. So 3-0 for me.
This might be contra – versial, but I think we should play Bale on the left.
My Team
Friedel
Kaboom (rb) Nelson King A&E
Walker (as a right winger…) Modders PNB Bale
Vdv
Ade (if fit, Saha if not)
Width, boys, it’s all about the width. That’s what she said….
agree HH that is our strongest 4-1-3-2 formation .. does put pressure on Parker as sole holding, but then we have Sandro & Jake ready to step in.. we’re home and oppo not exactly Barcelona, so yes 2 strikers
If Gallas was fit enough, I can’t think of a stronger side than this;
Friedel
Kaboom, King, Gallas, Benny
Walker, Parker, Modric, Bale
VDV
Ade
I love VDV, but not on the right. Lets get him back behind the striker and watch the goals flood in.
0-0 it is then!!
Next two games are huge.
The last 3 defeats were not entirely unexpected , for me anyway. Apart from the Arse game, with lady luck on our side the outcomes could have been totally different.
For me the next two are must wins. Anything less and you would have to think the wheels have come off. Just want to see players in the right position and we play without fear.
Lose tomorrow. I predict a riot.
