Accordingly to the Argus, Murray is fit, and Gus is already talking to Newcastle about extending LuaLua's stay.

Good news. :clap:

Will be tough on Foz as I thought he did ok at Charlton but Murray is probably a better player in that role.

No it wont as he will play 2 up front...we are at home to Exeter...need 3 points desperate, play 2 strikers.

No thanks. were more likely to get 3 points playing 4-3-3/4-5-1 as is shown in the last two results. :rolleyes:

Wonder how much longer Carole will stick around?

Agreed.

To be fair, Marshy refers to Capello (one of the most successful managers in the entire world currently) as a CLOWN, so I don't take his opinion very seriously.

Unless he doesn't want to risk Murray and starts with forster, bringing on murray when forster tires/when he wants to just change things up.

I'm torn about the 4-5-1 it's like it is a special formation for big games away, and like the other poster said, we're at home v exeter and should play 2 or 3 up front. But, if 4-5-1 took Leeds to the brink, and beat Charlton, shouldn't we use it to destroy exeter?

Away its 4-5-1 and at home its 4-3-3. Same players just a different mindset.

So 1 up front, despite how you dress it up, against a team that has just lost at home to Stockport who hadnt won a game since October...

Nothing like letting tehm of the hook before we even kick off.

I sincerely hope were good enough to win this game however we line up, and current results suggest we will hopefully.
If we actually get at this lot from the off then a comfortable victory is there for the taking, and we havent said that a lot this season.

I'm in two minds - I'd like Forster and Murray started together, but would be reluctant to drop anyone or change the system.

4-4-2 at home has not worked really and we need to win this so think continuity should win out and stick with 4-5-1 (4-3-3) and start Murray instead of Forster.

Murrays not coming back from injury though, he's just feeling a bit poorly, so I see no reason not to start him and Fozzie together on Saturday. We've got genuine PENETRATION down both flanks, so we should play BOTH our main strikers and thoroughly bitchslap those bumpkins into next Tuesday.

Its not as simple as that though is it, at home it becomes a 4-3-3 because we will be on the front foot more, your last sentence is comical to say the least, I'm sure they will feel 'let off the hook' knowing that we have just beaten Charlton and so nearly beaten Leeds with the same formation..:shootself

Their away form is as bad as our home form. Dull 0-0 draw written all over it...
