Think Anya will start on the bench and if there is an injury to one of the CB's then he will go RWB with Cassetti moving to CB.
As good as he is, can Cassetti handle 3 games in 8 days at the age of 35? I suspect he will be rested tonight - Anya to start at RWB. But, Geijo, what do I know?
Like most, I hope he doesn't make too many changes. Only he really knows how tired the players are looking, but they should be able to handle the schedule - it's not as if we have had long cup runs, plus there is almost a week after the Derby game for rest! It is almost as if he is trying to be a little stubborn to prove rotation works. If Ekstrand is back, I can see Cassetti being rested, and maybe Anya keeping his place if he has fully recovered from his cramp. I can also see one of Battocchio or Chalobah dropping to the bench for Hogg or Eustace (hopefully not both). I'd like Deeney to stay in the team after his brace, so preferably keep him and Vydra together, and take off one or both if they are looking tired at about 60/70 mins! As for the game, I think it will depend on who Zola picks, and how Ipswich play. With too many changes I think we will struggle for fluidity. If Ipswich back off and put men behind the ball, can also see us struggling to get a result.
I wouldn't put it to her that way, but yes, she follows the tractor, she bats for the blue and white end of East Anglia, so to speak. Always has done. She did come to Wembley with me in 1984 wearing a yellow and black scarf, but that' as far as I've got in converting her. Can't be done now, I'm afraid.
Thats true, but you cant really use that game as an example. Before the sending off the game looked even, afterall we were only 1 up at HT. It took us 15mins before we then scored the next goal. Even with them down to 9. So the game is no basis for any assumption.
Our most likely team will be: Henderson, Stearman, Chambers, Smith, Cresswell, N'Daw, Hyam, Martin, Murphy, McGoldrick, Chopra Chopra scored a beauty on Saturday so he should start this match with some confidence and form. 1-1 Draw
I think we'll be seeing Forestari start instead of Vydra - which worries me as I haven't been that impressed with FF of late. I hope he pulls up his socks and gets on with striking. I was worried about the Brum match and we won 4-0, I don't have any such worries for this game so who knows what will happen - 3-0 to us I think.
By any chance were you serenading her as you put the scarf around her neck ? Tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree may not have gone down too well.
People are betting that Chopra will start, http://www.ipswichstar.co.uk/sport/...rominent_role_following_superb_goal_1_1938534 !!
At least one enforced change from Saturday's starting team - Pudil is out. Daniel Pudil ‏@Pupik33 I do not like to be sick. And watch football just out of bed Good luck guys. Bring back 3 points for us!!!
Now that was a grand day out apart from that knob Gray and JB missing a sitter, still, be back a the new place soon, perhaps!
