    I agree Huthy here. I would have made a couple of changes, but overall it was a decent selection. Crouch and Walters should have been rested, but that's about it. I don't know why you all have such a problem with Delap, he was a perfectly acceptable player to pick to play a league 2 side.

    I have posted elswhere my thoughts. IMHO Collins improved as the game went on apart from his 'save' at the end.

    Re selection. I would have brought Fuller on when we were 2-0 up to finish them off. What I have seen off Jones since before Christmas is unprintable. Would I have him on the bench NO! He was woeful at Gillingham. That was his stage to get a move in my view!

    The team settled down after Rory was banished for where I was standing did not look a sending off. Fat Bustard Evns coming on the pitch obviously influenced Lee Probert!
    Not happy with that official!

    Thanks for the views on the game <ok> and Cris too!
    I went mental when their Manager was jumping up and down on the pitch re Delap's tackle...<doh>
    Even their fans don't like him... what a complete T**T the guy is..

    Fair play to Evans thanks to him we have no Rory now for the next 3 domestic games so it's not all bad news!

    OK guys, so now we have an idea of the team that our 3500 loyal travelling fans have spent all their hard money to go an watch, do we think he should have rested the key players for the Crawley game and taken them to Valencia?

    I personally think he is doing the right thing, but only because he made the wrong call at Crawley!

    He IS doing the right thing ONLY IF, we get a win on Sunday IMO! What happens IF God forbid we go belly up again? ALL hell will let loose. Pulis can NOT have it both ways and I understand that neither can we the fans. But, his interview just smacks of the usual dross. Negative, praising our opponents. NOT at all inspiring if you are one of those 3500 fans to my mind.. I honestly can not see how we can get a result there. That's my head talking being realistic. Given that list of 15 player's..

    I said this last weekend. OUR 2nd 11 could have beaten Crawley and I still think Pulis was wrong with some of his selections. WELL done all thos FANS who ARE going to Spain. <applause> I HOPE they ENJOY it too!
