What say ye? Elmo on for Muamba as an impact sub when/if needed.
We want to drop our top goalscorer? For a game against a side who haven't been playing at all well and are there for the taking? And we moaned incessantly about Megson being too negative?
I say...WTF???

I hardly think there's anything negative about the formation I posted; you have a point about Elmo's goalscoring form but I'd rather drop him than SKD. And I'd definitely bring him on around 60 minutes in.

So we've come full circle - 1 striker is now not negative? At home

As the DJ says, theres only one team in this league lost less games than us. And they can spend £45m quid on a strikers wages.

This. Finding it strange that people want to make 4-5 changes/alter most of a midfield which has seen us lose 1 out of the last 9 games.

Coyle will keep the same team.

I'd be tempted to put Taylor in for Petrov though.

I just think we need to have a little extra support but I'd not change the shape.

Lets face it we scored on Saturday because Taylor came off the line got in the box caused trouble and created the goal for Elmander.

I don't think Petrov would have done the same.

Petrov might be a better option off the bench for a game or two with his pace against tiring defenders.

Coyle will stick with the same side though and really there can't be too many complaints with that.

That's guilding the lily somewhat - Taylor made an absolute bollocks of it. I'd give Moreno a runout down the left myself.

He did make a mess of it, but equally he managed to shuffle it across to Elmander to poke in.

End of the day he got in the box and made the extra man that created the goal. Sometimes with Petrov and Lee we find neither get in and around the box so sometimes we're a little lightweight in there.

Moreno certainly has a bit of pace, not sure he's ready for a start yet. Certainly a good option off the bench though.

Oh don't get me wrong, I agree entirely, I just have Taylor's actual contribution to the goal down as owing more to luck than management, but absolutely he drew the defenders away from Elmander and I doubt we'd see Petrov in the mix in a month of Sundays.

By the way - have they been on from RAWK yet, issuing a list of questions that they won't like the answers to, again?

Despite their win at the w/e Liverpool are there for the taking. Over the past few years we've let a bit of an inferiority complex creep in against them but we've no reason to fear them this time.

Hodgson's rocking, confidence is low let's twist the knife and show them that a 2-1 home win against the Dingles hasn't 'kicked started' their season.

Hodgson must stay!

OK - I'll elaborate..

we've only lost one league game - that has to end soon - there's summat un-Bolton-like about not losing regularly..
torres finally found the net
we're the go-to team for teams getting back on track after a lean spell (or at least - we used to be)

we'll get dicked and it will mark the start of our ultimate dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom

Petrov is supposed to be a big game player so perhaps he will step up against the Pool, although I would drop him myself. Also Lee needs a rest so I would play Moreno for one of them to see if he can give us a bit more urgency up front.

Can't see Coyle dropping Elmander as he's the only one scoring regularly, but not at home yet. Can't see the rest of the team changing although I agree that Rickets should be given a chance.

But the Pool actually played well against Blackburn and should have won much more easily, so they will be not be the pushovers there for the taking that some think. I'd settle for another draw, but of course would prefer a win, however our defense still makes too many mistakes to keep them out so we will need to score 3 to get that win and I just can't see that happening.

But here's hoping!!!!

Prediction another 2-2 draw with us coming from behind this time.

This. Got the feeling we are gonna lose this weekend, they'll have their tails up. Can see another red card too, anythings possible with that cheating t**t Lucas in their side.

One of those games you just don't know. We seemed to have started showing less respect for the big clubs of late, which I think is a positive sign. For the past few years we have simply made it too easy.

Johnson cannot defend against pace. Petrov has it, Taylor doesn't.

Ont he flip side, Johnson offers a lot going forwards. Petrov won't defend, Taylor will.

It depends how brave we are on the day, but I'd be tempted to stay as we are
