Wow - that's great news. Expected RvW to make the squad but Snoddy coming back so soon is a big bonus - we certainly missed his accuracy from the dead ball last Sunday.

Excellent :smiley:
 
Definitely a positive to take into the festive period! Hopefully they can kick us on to 3 wins from the next 4! Maybe even a draw against Man U!
 
This is good news, hopefully the way others have performed recently will give hughton more faith to rotate / utilise the squad more fully
 
I think Snoddy should go straight back in so we can bring Fer back into the middle and get the best out of him. I would drop Johnson to do this, but i think it will be Elmander. Id like to see 2 up front however first Hooper and Elmander and after about 60 minutes, Hooper and the wolf. I think this would really take the fight to Sunderland
 
I doubt that Snods will be able to start after only returning to training this week, Bath, but it could happen. On the bench is more likely,IMO, with your scenario in the last 20-30 minutes. Your Elmander/RvW scenario does look likely and it certainly gives a special edge to this encounter. About time we have things going our way! OTBC!
 
Are we playing negative football? I haven't noticed. Not scoring goals... guess I'm watching a different game to you all lol.
 
Prob not but I'm just putting my point across


Malky is seen as negative and putting men behind the ball, but he is being talked about managing a big club in the future
 
I'd still have given AVB time; bedding that many players is not easy. Think Eriksen and Paulinho look class acts, and Townsend will come back stronger.

I'd been thinking that for ages! Up until about a month ago, our style was almost identical. Slow passive approach play, poor final balls and lots of shots from outside the box. The only reason Spurs started so well is all the penalties and the £100mil of talent that seemed to be pulling them over the line. Now the real world has hit them and they haven't handled it very well. The fact that they got thrashed by ManC and Pool just a few weeks after us highlights the similarity.

However, our enforced formation changes through injury has caused us to differ our approach and it's actually worked much better. I hope CH sees that and continues with 2 up top more often, especially now RvW is back.
