    Sounds like Willis will be ok for tomorrow, plus Colin McG back in defense :)emoticon-0107-sweat). At least we can get O'Nien further up the pitch.

    So how is Park gonna start this one, as the choice without Grant & the three Amigos is a bit random. But **** it, he needs to try something very different until more options are at his disposal.

    .................Burge
    McG....Willis....Lynch....DeBock
    ONien...Power...Grant.....Hume
    .....Watmore......Kimpioka

    Subs: McLaughlan, Flanagan, Leadbitter, McGeady, Maguire, Grigg

    We just have to be better then Saturday we were awful and it was crying out for change we’ll before he did change it..
    I’m still going for a moral boosting win.

    I'd go the same except O'Nien in CM instead of Leadbitter, Watmore out wide and McNulty upfront with Kimpioka.

    Please Phil, try something different. You have to give it a shot.

    Totally agree with you Nacho but I fully expect the damp squib Grigg to be in ahead of Benji. Is McNulty not injured or was he suspended?

    I think he's in contention to play although he's been out for a bit, I'm not aware of any suspension. In all honesty I'm sure you're right and it will be Grigg on his own but I'm holding out some hope that Parkinson's got enough balls to change things around that clearly aren't working.

    I'd go along with that - McNulty was injured not suspended so he might not start.

    I think with Hume if he'd never existed but dropped out the sky onto the training pitch in full kit, Parkinson or anyone else would rate him as more useful as an attacker than a defender.

    De Bock behind him to give the defensive stability would give Hume the license to drive forward relentlessly as he likes to do. He's a weapon in attack but currently only an ok defender.

    Got a feeling we will win 2-1. I have nothing to back up this feeling.

    In that case yeah either Kimpioka and Watmore or Kimpioka on his own if Parkinson doesn't fancy 442. What's the worst that can happen, he doesn't score? Grigg's been doing plenty of that.

    Lol - one of our positive strengths is to constructively kick-start other teams season.

    Feel bad typing this but can't see anything other than a draw or away win, hope we win and if we do please bump this later calling me a negative tw@t.
    Just down in the dumps with the whole thing after the last few weeks.

    Can't blame you for feeling like that mate, these are testing times.

    I watched Newcastle struggle last night and wondered what the point of it all is.

    They're in yet another relegation battle and will most likely win nothing again this season.

    And that's the 'level' we're aspiring to ....

    .... football's gone wrong hasn't it.

    This with bells on Smug.
    Take the top 4-6 rich clubs and everybody else are also rans, fighting to stave of relegation for what purpose...to do it all again next season.
    At least we had some wins to cheer last season and a couple of days out in the Capital but even that's turned to rat shi t this season, it's the hope that kills you and I'm losing hope after 60 years of following the lads, is it all worth it I'm seriously not sure anymore.
