Petrov deserves to start, in my opinion.
Reo-Coker WILL start.
Boyata in for Steinsson and then same apart from that.

Seems harsh to leave Eagles out after a decent half on Saturday and what sounds like a cracker tonight!

Petrov's my player of the season so far though.
Maybe Eagles for Pratley?

Eagles instead of Kakuta and then I'd say we'd be alright...

Petrov had played well I'd agree. Wonder though if he affords us good balance? Certainly would like to see same midfield shape as tonight! Tough calls for who is in and who is out though!

According to GMR Kakuta was outstanding, seems harsh to leave him out.
Usual suspects will be back,
Jussi
Boyata, Cahill, Knight, Robbo,
Eagles, NRC, Holden, Petrov
Ngog. Davies.

Dont agree with it but I'll be surprised if different.

Kakuta made a difference tonight and seemed very active. He also scored a cracking individual goal. OC's going to have to start playing interchanging wingers or he'll have somebody unhappy. The problem ( a nice one, I admit) will multiply when Lee comes back. If Eagles gets the left wing spot, Petrov will sulk. If Petrov start Eagles will feel (rightly) a bit pxssed. Rotation's the answer.

Oh, come on Bish.

It'll end in divorce. You know it, they know it .... even the woman's real boyfriend knows it. Give it a miss ... see the bigger picture man.

See, I'd happily join the optimistic club if I thought Coyle would look at tonight's result and clean sheet, look at his formation and put two and two together to make 4-5-1.

He's obviously seen more of the game than I, but I'd be surprised if a team with Ngog as lone striker and a midfield 5 wasn't a lot more solid. If we give these boys space they will stuff us.
