    With O9 back in (unless something changes with his missus in the next 24 hours) then I assume it's back to a back 4 with Cirkin and Hume at FB?

    Be interesting to see where Pritch/Gelhardt/Michut fit in

    Don't know much about Birmingham, but looks like they had a slightly better season than they were expecting, but still underwhelming

    I'd go

    Patterson
    Hume Batth O'Nien Cirkin
    Neil Ekwah
    Roberts Amad Clarke
    Gelhardt​

    Subs: Bass, Anderson, Michut, Gooch, Ba, Pritchard, Lihadji

    Great thread. A chance for another win and keep looking up that table for me. There will teams ahead of us looking at us if we register back to back wins at this stage of the season.

    I would happily go with your team RTB. The strongest we have at our disposal I would say. Ekwah was good for 45 but he tired really badly I though second half. Not surprising for someone new to mens football but Michut should come in and bring us that extra quality for this one alongside Neil. For me we go all in with Gelhardt now. We need his energy and decoy runs to create space and opportunities. Roberts, Amad and Clarke in behind. Those 4 are the best bet for us to score the goals for me. Can we keep enough clean sheets might be the big question. Cirkin was outstanding last game, and he is a massive plus.

    Very much still on for me. Win this and I think a lot more will start to believe as well.

    Millwall v Preston is interesting
    Blackburn v Hull
    QPR v Coventry
    Boro v Norwich tonight
    Get those four going our way and we win and we're knocking on the door of 6th place.
    Mind we lose and WBA and Watford win and we're bang middle of the league and it's all over, can our kids handle the pressure? It's a better pressure than being in the bottom 3 mind.

    No, it was my fault for daring to go to an away match and expect anything but a heavy defeat

    We have the nucleus of a fantastic team imo. A couple of good signings in the summer transfer window and a lot less injuries and there will be nothing to fear in this league next season inc the drop outs from the Prem. We could do a Burnley and storm it.
    Just outside the play offs now with half a team and no striker shows how good this team can be. They have heart, commitment and skill.
