she doesn't look that comfortable - does she?

and what's the point of a la-z-boy luxury relaxing chair if there's a bird draped all over it??

[TANGODANCER]

Absolutely no point playing SKD if that's the case. No point whatsoever. He'll get a booking the first time he completes a pass

BN big headline questioning KD's selection. Also the Clattenburg thing highlighted. Fancy, having a go at a ref...disgraceful. I agree though, he'll get nothing but carded so why bother.

Doomed.

He's always been a limited footballer, and it's never affected his contribution whilst he is able to give defenders a torrid time. Now he's getting jumped on, held down, pulled back and the referees have taken to penalising him for it. Think it's horrific that his Prem career could effectively be ended by refs. He is no use to us whatsoever if every time the ball goes to him we're conceding a free kick.

Ruumaaaas Cahill isn't playing. Suddenly I fancy Arsenal to score double-figures.

rumours from who?

[thebish]

did we ever establish how far off fitness Ricketts is?

if no Cahill - Boyata and Wheater???

(not saying that will happen! - it might not be a great idea to play 2 CBs against Arsenal who may well have never played together at all!)

Congratulations on your win Arsenal!

Cahill is a massive player for us, without him we're going to struggle.

the rumours were true then! whassamadda with Cahill?

@OfficialBWFC
BWFC Substitutes: Bogdan, Tuncay, M Davies, K Davies, Boyata, Gardner, Kakuta

[keveh]

I think the big thing about that lineup is that SKD isn't in it.

Cahill is obviously an injury, however dropping SKD is a tactical decision we've needed to take.

[thebish]

KD dropped though - a shot in the arm for those who thought Coyle would never do that....

[thebish]

so - is this Ngog as a lone striker - or is Pratley gonna play just behind him?

[James B]

If our back 4 put in a good shift (5 if you include Jussi) then I have a feeling this board will just collapse, scapegoat galore. Still feeling confident, score draw.

They've got more protection in front of them now though so they might actually put in a good performance today. I think we can get something from this
