Perhaps I’m being daft but I’d prefer anyone but Watson to score the winning goal at Wembley …
… we obviously have plans for Aleksic, he’s been very patient and I’ve really believe he’s a footballer.
It 100% isn't like, but I appreciate the optimism
Definitely not 100% but much stranger things have happened …
… we were playing much worse when Poyet kept us up.
Who’d have thought Leeds would fall apart again when they were 7 points clear a month back.
Really looking forward to tonight, different than the usual 11 with some lads busting a gut to stake a claim, going to be interesting if nothing else
I don’t care who plays, this season has shown me to trust RLB decisions
everyone in our squad is capable
everyone in our squad is capable
All I see is Isidor working hard off the ball when he's upfront and not getting the service.
I don't think that's the problem.
I believe RLB is trying to get Isidor firing again that's why he probably wouldn't change his position.
He will probably put Le Fe out there or Mayenda.
I've said this before but it's not over til the fat lady sings and she isn't even on stage yet...who on earth wants to play the last six games as dead rubbers...certainly not me.It 100% isn't like, but I appreciate the optimism
I tried to add an emoji but it didn’t work unfortunately
was a tongue in cheek
3 points tonight lads, get right up these canary dickheads
HAWAY
You're probably right, this kind of debate is what I like about this board. I think we'll start with Hume at right back and Leo on the left. I think he'll rest Rigg or Jobe and play Browne alongside Dan. Front will be Pat,Isidor and Mayenda on the left.
Get to the prem, and that would do very nicely.
I reckon Hume could turn up with a wooden leg and glass eye and demand to play. Just seems the sort.
I understand the sentiment, but dont agree
The balance of the side is critical. We are so much better when we have two genuine wide men. I dont know if Aleksic is a genuine wide player, but I know Watson is.
Right my front three would be Watson, Mayenda and Roberts. I think that is the most balanced we can put out.
Right now we have promotion to win. I think the best left winger available to us is Watson. Not picking him puts at risk our promotion chance for me.

Perhaps the perfect use of these 6 remaining games is to give Aleksic a run at left wing to try to change your mind. If he can't do it in the next few games, then Watson can come in ahead of the playoffs.
Cant wait for this tonight, in from work, gym, shower, bait then telly on with a nice ice cold bottle of Henry Westons. Wifes at work and the daughter is at her friends till 8.30, she is getting dropped off so happy days, Love having the house to myself for a match on the telly. Anyway another cracker RTB, thanks once again.
Not sure what to make of the Jobe and Hume injury rumours, both seemed fine at fulltime on Saturday, will wait and see. I can see us picking them off on the break and notching 2 or 3, I will go with a 2-1 victory with Wilson back on the scoreboard. Enjoy the match everyone.

As you and everyone else knows talent and suitability are nothing without the desire, attitude and hard work …
… Watson was anonymous when he came on in the Millwall game and didn’t make the pitch against West Brom.
The fact Aleksic was put on instead makes me think it’ll happen again tonight. It would be a real issue if he starts tonight and looks disinterested and is ineffective … does RLB waste the first half or hook him after twenty minutes?
Either would disrupt the team and may cost us the game.
If he doesn’t start tonight I’ve think that's the answer to whether he’s really up for it or not …
… RLB and the coaches will already know.

Good debate gents. A fit and motivated Watson is just what we need on the LW. Will we get that? We'll see.
