    We have been in great form recently but only taken a point from our two away games, this week two tough away games but were good enough to get something from them. At Leeds tomorrow i would take a point, a win would be fantastic, the same goes for Sunday, both hard matches but lets be honest whoever you play in this league its hard to guess the outcome because anyone can beat anyone thats what makes it such an interesting division to be in.

    A WIN and Nothing but a WIN @ TWS. We are in top form and TWS are not. They also have a few key players missing.

    I fancy 2.0 city, but a draw would also be a good result

    Agreed John. I also think that City will have more than one eye on sundays game. Like the Millwall game, get it won and ease up.

    Oli's out, he'll be replaced by Evans, it seems Bruce is fit, so no McShane to worry about.

    Am I being unfair in thinking that this weakens our team ?

    Although to be fair, if Evans plays a bit deeper than usual, he may be more effective.

    Conversely, I'd like to see Evans be a little more forward thinking and less side to side.

    Seems his hamstring means he won't play TWS. McKenna out still obviously due to his red card, means possibly Evans? Anyone else capable of bossing TWS like Oil would have?

    It's a bit of a ballache. I'm not Oli's biggest fan but I'm even less of an Evans fan. Our game plan is about keeping the ball and good passing, Evans just isn't capable of that.

    I'd far rather have Evans in midfield, than have McShane in defence, things could be far worse.

    Very disappointed Oli is out. Evans offers little. Always passes backwards and has a tendancy to give the ball away in terrible areas.

    Might be a bit harsh on him here but personally Ive never seen Evans have a good game. We'd really benefit from a setlled XI at the moment and it's a shame for Oli, hope it's a short term absence only.

    Maybe Evans will be OK coming on at the start.
    When he came on against Millwall he seemed to be slower than the pace of the game and never caught up.

    Ive got a funny feeling that Aluko might replicate the joys of Alex Dyer tomorrow. Just a feeeling...

    If he does and Stephen Quinn plays the Garry Parker role, then I'll be ecstatic.

    I was there in 12 September 1987.

    I fancy us to win, but won't be disappointed with a point. Draw our away games, win our home games. That's the key to getting out of a league.

    As for Evans, I really rate him, he can hold his own on the ball and has a good range of passes. He was described as a Box to Box midfielder when he was at United and he rarely makes a mistake, so I'm happy for him to be in the side. If Oli keeps up his form, he might be recalled to the Nigeria squad for the ACON in January, so it makes sense to see if we need cover for him now, or if Evans (and McKenna for that matter) can step up and fill in for him tonight.

    The issue I have with Evans is that his work on the ball just isn't good enough. He can't trap, pass or shoot anywhere near the standard we need from someone in that position. If, as some say, McLean is a 'league 1 player' then so is Evans.
