A draw wouldn't be a bad result away in a local derby but a win would be massive and put some clear daylight between us and the relegation threatened teams.

 

Totally this. A point is fine from this game, would be six unbeaten and 10 points from 6 games after the horror fixtures which is a great recovery.

3 points though and we could be top half and well in the middle group in the table and looking good.

I would play Lowton at CM. I've always felt he has a better future as a midfielder than as a defender. He is also our best crosser.

 

My sarcasm-o'meter is clearly not working today.

 

mine is

 

crosses from central midfield?

 

sounds a bit "Hoofy" to me :D

Completely agree.

I think not losing this one is key.

So far with the exception of QPR we've had good results against those sides in and amongst us in the table, not losing this one is almost more important than winning it.

A draw would be a good result in the context of our current form and potential absences through injury.

Hutton

Okore

Clark

Cissokho

 

Cleverly

I really hope so. Without him I think we'll struggle.

Cleverley puts in about 4 (shit) crosses every match. Bring in CM doesn't preclude you from drifting wide you know.

Would be nice if we didn't gift them a 2-0 lead this season.

Them not having Shane Long is a massive bonus for us, he seemed to score in every game against us for them.

They do however have lescott, who also has a habbit of scoring against us.
