    Gomes; Hoban, Cathcart, Angella; Paredes, Munari, Guedioura, Abdi, Pudil; Ighalo, Forestieri

    subs: Bond (GK), Doyley, Murray, Tozser, Anya, Deeney, Vydra.

    Looks a bit drastic.

    I suppose rotation at it most ruthless....

    But I will give it 45 minutes! I guess our head coach will too!

    He said he would, and they all look sensible - still have the bench if it isn't working.
    From the tv viewing of wolves game, dear old lloyd looked off the standard, I would have preferred Toszer to Munari, Ighalo looked very sharp.
    If we draw or win, that's 10/12 points from 5 - promotion form!
    Just need to keep doing it!

    No bug. If you look in privacy the first option has a second inset box underneath. Make a tick there and you might be seen.

    I think Toszer needed a rest and I rate Munari based on last few games. Sounds a lot of changes but can't critique until we've 'seen' it in action I suppose.

    Another headed goal in the box that looked badly defended. Great.
