Bolton - Wet Spam

[Choppers]

Not normally worired about West Ham games, but this one...I dunno.

If Coyle gets our middle four correct, we should be more than capable of winning.

The most worrying thing about today's game is how our midfield is going to cope with Parker.

He might get a strong odour of Kalvin Klien whilst winning half-a-dozen free kicks.

Team news...

Wanderers: Jaaskelainen, Steinsson, Knight, Cahill, Alonso, Chung-Yong, Muamba, Elmander, Petrov, K Davies, Sturridge (Substitutes: Bogdan, Robinson, Taylor, Klasnic, Rodrigo, Blake, Cohen)

West Ham: Green, Tomkins, Parker, Hitzlsperger, Upson, Noble, Ba, Da Costa, Piquionne, Keane, Bridge (Boffin, Gabbidon, Cole, Spector, O'Neil, Obinna, Jacobsen)

Wheater not even on the bench. Elmander in the middle? Hopefully MD is fit by next week

Interesting selection from both managers. Will Chungy or Elmander start in the middle of the park? Wet Spam have an attacking line-up with Keane, Ba and Piquionne all starting, with Can't Control on the bench, should be an exciting game!

[Tals-biggest-fan]

no Wheater??? hopefully he's not being risked for the FA cup game, thought tho seeing as Knights only just returned he'd be on the bench just in case Knight pulls up

OC said yesterday if he asked Elmander to play CD he'd be happy to. He prefers down the middle but will play anywhere.

[jmjhb]

Any idea what formation that is?

[HMX]

4-4-2?

[spikeykev]

Moo will have his work cut out today if Elmander is central!

[jmjhb]

And there was me thinking it was 4-1-3-2! Well, it works for me on FM...

need a rejig on that. My patented 4-1-2-2-1 which has seen my mighty St Albans City soar from BSS to League leaves me languishing in the relegation places at the moment!

Cohen immediately benched after last week? Do the backroom staff read TW or something?

Obviously saving him for the semi-final.

Being saved for big/side Stoke in case MD isn't fit?

Go bold, attack em and get the ball in the net any which-way. The rest is immaterial.

[Tals-biggest-fan]

as much as it'll probaly fail, we could ask Fab to attempt to man mark Parker

[Choppers]

You'd have to think that Wheater is injured to be honest. Dropping him immediately would be harsh on him anyway, but right out of the squad altogether, leaving us with no centre back cover? Not likely.

Elmander, I think could play central midfield quite adeptly. He has the work-rate to perform the defensive part of his duty and we know he's good going forward. If he has the discipline it could be a masterstroke, otherwise we're playing 4-1-5 and we'll get murdered in the midfield.
