After a comfortable win over Blackburn there shouldnt be many chances if any at all for Blackpool. Marcin Wasilewski still hasnt recieved international clearance meaning he might not be available but other then Sean St. Ledger everyone is fit and available so here is what I would go with Schmeichel De Laet Morgan Moore Schlupp Knockaert Drinkwater King Dyer Nugent Vardy Subs- Logan, Whitbread, Konchesky, Hammond, James, Hopper, Wood
Difficult week for us this week all the teams around us have easier matches so result needed i personally will be happy with a draw.
I would just bring Schlupp in. I wouldnt want Ince running at Konchesky At least Schlupp can counter Ince with his pace
It's a good point and you know I'm no Konchesky fan ... but a winning team is a winning team and if you are playing well you should retain your place ...
I'd be more than happy with Konch as long as Dyer is in front of him, he'll give him plenty of protection. i'd be happy with same 11 - if it aint broke don't fix it!
Me too. Not Konchesky's biggest fan but he's done well the last couple of games and is sounder defensively tham Schlupp. I'd be happy with the same 11 as last time but I reckon NP might switch back to 352 or 433 with us being away. I hope not though as we've really clicked since reverting to 442.
cannot believe some people think that it would be a better option to have arguably the best player in the league up against a inexperienced forward playing out if position than konchesky. Konch has come back into the team seamlessly, hasnt put a foot wrong and has imo made us more solid. Bar drinkwaters daft challenge it would have been 2 clean sheets with him back in the team. Ince will play all across the front line anyway, and i would go as far to say if we can keep him and dobbie quiet we have a good chance of winning.
ive just thought about last year at home when moore did a job on ince at right back, could be an option....but i would play same team,its working and they are all playing well.
Didn't they loan Dobbie to Blackpool, after the idiot signed more players than he was allowed to register?
Yep he went back a couple of days ago so will play tomorrow. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24137555 Would be very surprised if he changes the side tomorrow.
Don't know how anyone can argue against Konchesky playing. I wasn't at Blackburn but Wigan was the best I'd seen him play in a long time, personally I think he makes our defence look a lot more assured. Our defence is looking pretty damn good though right now.
I went to Wigan and saw a different Konch to what im used to, although against Inces pace, he could be back to his old wreak-less self again if he gets beaten for pace. Would still start him though, deserves a shot at a good (if not the best) right winger in this league. Although it shouldn't be changed, anyone think Wasil, GTF or hammond will get a start?
Only Hammond is anywhere near match fit - and he'll only start if we have injuries - expect to see all 3 (definitely the other 2) getting development squad games to bring them up to match pace before they are really in contention (again unless we have a few injuries)
