O’Nien hasn’t done much wrong but I’d be keen to see Ballard and Mepham partnered together with two proper full backs either side.
Agree - I think the opportunity to gamble is there. Need to find a selection and formation that will increase ppg to maybe still get top 2 as looks like no serious risk to missing playoffs. I would try the back two as you suggest, and Le Fee in the middle to see if he is physical enough. Start Mundle and rotate with Watson when he's fit. I'm not sure what else makes sense. I don't fancy the Samed 6 to push Neil up, but we'll see.
 
We’re in the last chance saloon now if we still harbour the Top2.
This’ll be another nervy affair, and we need to avoid poor defending.
I hope RLB is right and they’re working on managing narrow leads better.
1-0 and no fingernails is my prediction.

Unfortunately the bigger crowd expectation will be 'cos Hull have sold their full allocation, so we'll only really hear them . . . . thanks to the idiotic decision to house them up there <doh>

To be fair it doesn’t stop people singing and supporting their team …

… as it’s ’kids for a quid’ that’ll help, they’re less inhibited.

No Coventry mate

In that case I can help, you can have mine.

I was going there instead of Sheff Wed as I had work on the 28th ...

... but my boss has insisted I go to Sheff Wed and I've just sorted a ticket.

Coventry would've meant a hotel, and I don't like the place, but have mates I can stay with in Sheffield.
 
Think we need to freshen things up in the wide areas. If Mundle is fit to start then he should start and i'd be looking at Mayenda on the right, maybe even Poveda.

Patterson
Hume Ballard O'Nien Cirkin
ELF Neil Jobe
Mayenda Isidor Mundle

Selles has improved Hull so this will be a tough game, they'll sit in defensively so the onus is on us to break them down.

1-0. Mundle.
love your team choice and think that team will defiantly get the job done, only difference i would make is Mepham for ONine

Not a lover of Samed myself, think he slows the game down too much, and doesn't bring enough to the table to warrant getting picked
 
We need wins. Fk defence. Get Wizzi, Mayenda and Le Fee up front with permission to interchange and just run riot. Fast flowing football, do not fk about at the back when you have pace and skill. If a fast lump up ball is available go for it. Leicester won a title based on hit it somewhere upfield and Vardy will get it.

Massively looking forward to this like I have the last 2 home games when we have not been at our best. Lads if your reading this get the goals 1st half, put the game to bed and let the fans relax 2nd half eh!

Cheers RTB. Yet another class write up.
