Today’s game is certain to be a ‘landmark game’ in our season, which has become derailed last month after the euphoria of winning away at Wolves and culminating in the humiliation of a 5-0 hammering at the hands of Chris Hughton’s Seagulls.
Pinto is still injured, so I expect to see an unchanged back 4 and Hoolahan has been fairly ineffective in recent weeks and maybe it’s time to give him a rest, with Pritchard and Naismith behind Jerome. I expect Thompson will replace the suspended Tettey and I’d quite like to see Canos and Jo Murphy starting.
Even if we win today, our abject performances over the last few games has resulted in us losing top spot and only remaining in the top 6 as a result of the equally poor performances of teams around us. The feeling amongst many fans is that AN’s tenure should be terminated ASAP and only a comfortable victory and overall improvement in playing style/tactics will begin to sway fans back behind AN. I’m not convinced that a draw would appease most fans and should we lose, my only hope is that the Board use the International break to act and not allow things to degenerate in the way that they did with Hughton!!!!

And don’t forget the inevitable Canary Call after the game.
