    you've basically summed up what i tried to say a few posts ago, but better. in addition, there is only one good result for those two teams. - a win. every other result is points dropped, the "draw" included, where as in most other games, a draw can be a good result.

    the A v C match is potential "game changer" to our entire form of late and the entire season, but only if we win!

    SSAS, i agree on the sandro/livermore idea to start the game.. we're away as we all know, and it'll give the back four a little more protection, especially if there's some nerves/lack of confidence that's settled in.

    I've been saying Livermore should start for the last two games, and saying that two wingers isn't the best way forward for months, so with all due respect to SSAS, it's very much my idea as well :smiley:

    In some games I'd definitely agree GH10, but for most, we need both Lennon and bale. Otherwise it's 2 men marking bale, because they know we have no threat down the right if Lennon isn't playing! Against tougher opposition we need both IMO, as we're too predictable and rely on bale too much.

    Fair comments Roo, but to me Lennon is also fairly predictable and weakens us defensively.

    Different strokes etc, for me I want to see Nelsen and Livermore in as minimum changes at Loftus Road. I actually want more, but can't hope for too much :smiley:

    And I think it's fair to want to see both of those 2 players. I think there will be very few fans who will disagree. I've been impressed with nelsen so far, and jake's proving to be the best youth player we've brought through in years

    To be fair though Roo, he's not got a lot of competition for that title, unfortunately! <laugh>
    Hopefully that'll change soon, with the likes of Caulker and Kane impressing on loan and the youth team impressing before some twat ballsed it all up.

    Fair comments as usual Roo <ok>

    I wish I could get excited about this game, I should be with 4th still in our hands, but I feels so despondent about the team ATM. I'll be there watching and hoping on Sat of course, whether at home or the pub, but I can't say my hopes will be backed by any genuine confidence.

    Heartened by Harry's comments today about how good they've looked in training (assuming it's true of course) cause we are not playing terribly, just need to be a little more ruthless. We should be able to dominate Rangers, as long as we can capitalise with goals. My worry was that they would be too down to give of their best.

    Hi OS, hope you're right. I've been keeping the faith for over 50 years, so no chance of changing my religion now :smiley:

    I just hope the players can start winning again.

    yeah, i thought that after I'd submitted my comment!! <laugh>

    This is an even bigger game now lads. despite a perfect result in the AvC game (2 points dropped for both teams), Newcastle are winning AGAIN! - Although it's nice to see a side causing a bit of a shake up (which was us not too long ago) ... i'm getting slightly worried about Newcastle's form! commentary is suggesting Ben Arfa is having another blinder. someone's gonna snap him up in the summer.

    I feel pretty arrogant not taking Newcastle seriously, but it's getting pretty concerning now!
