Doesn't Dunk play on the left? Hughes gets a start for me, I think he's a decent player.

We are now listed as 4-4-1-1 in shape.

Weather is warmer in Blackpool than down here.

That's more like a Capello style playing the team above. Tex (loanee) is a key player if that is the side.

Not seen this ref before.

Yes please - that'll do for me.

 

[B.W.]

Hudds to win please...

Think we will see Lua Lua on the bench today.

SCR for me today as bad fan

I have my doubts about the result of this and predicted a 0-0 draw. It would very good to win with a clean sheet and even better of we get more than five goals clear. Teams don't get relegated (do they?) with a positive goal difference.

I have a sneaking suspicion that Orlandi and Delfouneso and Mellis will cause us problems?

JC recons its -4 at Bloomfield Road

no place for wimps then

 

[WATFORD zero]

Think we will see Lua Lua on the bench today.

Think someone posted yesterday that Kaz hadn't travelled

Happy to be in the warm today. Don't think it will be easy.
See they have signed a centre back from Accrington expected to make his debut. Hopefully COG will give him a hard time.
Hoping for a 2-1 win after going behind first half.
