    Was reading a bit from their fan (on ALS I think) and he was raving about the keeper. Think he's just made his Sweden debut.

    Back handed compliment the 'Most saves' part i think. Cracking from the keeper, but shows that the rest of the team and the defence arent up to the standard of the league and are therefore having to rely on the keeper to keep everything out

    More likely the busiest, not the best.

    Mayenda is starting tonight apparently.

    Not sure how reliable the source is though.

    He’s only gone and done it now, why do people feel the need to point things out

    On the flip side, it would be funny if two or three of the strikers broke their ducks tonight.

    Not sure if I’d go 3 5 2 tonight. They like to get that second ball in advanced midfield si bodies in there might be the beating of them.

    Once again great thread RTB. Thank you for your efforts. Heading down to this one. Bit of a banana skin fixture but hopefully we can secure the 3points with another hard working performance similar to Hull. Not previously the best hunting ground for us but I think we have enough to get the 3 points which is the most important thing. I’m sure they will be direct and physical so got to match that first and then settle into our game. Fingers crossed for 3 points. Keep the faith lads and lasses.

    Be interesting to see how we approach this. Done well against Leeds and Hull by not pressing high up and making them try to break us down. Will see if this is a generic approach, or whether Beale is willing to be a bit more cavalier at times.

    Just for info for those travelling. I would use the M1 down to the meadow hall junction as the A1 below the M62 is a nightmare due to roadworks. Safe journey and a good result to return home with.

    Very good point mate.

    You don't always have to get behind/through defences by playing on the counter ...

    ... we have enough skill, in the squad, to score goals in various ways.

    And if they all fail Ballard can head in from a corner <laugh>

    This will be a bigger test than a lot think, but IMHO 0-1 that will do for me.

    You get the same amount of points if you win 1-0 or 8-0
