    HDM are predicting a midfield 3 of Alzate, Crooks, Palmer - which feels stagnant for a game against a free scoring side.

    I think in the absence of Slater, Puerta must start to give some energy.

    It's less than 24 hours now.

    Anyone feeling nervous?

    Incredibly nervous. In our hands. I just have no faith in the players or at this point the manager.

    Think they will attack and be a little open at the back, they will want to finish impressing their families and all the fans for the lap of honour at the end. We will have to do a lot more than of late, taking chances if we get them. Defence clean sheet mentality against a very strong home team, midfield will have to run, defend and support the attack and for me when you are under pressure you have to break with pace. For me pace is massive in games like this. Well done to all the travelling support it’s a long journey and hopefully a happy one on the way back.

    It seems like a lot at first, but we’ve won 9 games under Sellés, so anyone with 9 points or less – Crooks down – has either only made substitute appearances or not really featured at all. His starting 11s for game that we’ve won have been pretty consistent really.

    Nah. I’ve already accepted the fate. Quote from band of brothers “ the moment you realise you are already dead you don’t care) or roughly that.

    No point messing around, they really need to go for it from the start. If they take chances and lose, fair enough but we don't want a performance like the final game at Plymouth last season. Remind me, what are Portsmouth's wingers like? I fear the defence could be left exposed looking for a win but what's new there?

    For me, because he's one of the only players we've got who decisively attacks balls in the box.

    I get the thinking that we really need to go for it but we never score loads so if we go behind it's going to be really hard to get something out of this game so while we need a result going all out attack is probably one of the worst things we could do

    I don't think he's got 90 minutes in him and I personally wouldn't start him
    I'd certainly be looking to use him as a sub

    I dont think he does either
    Im very annoyed at how **** hit fitness iz

    But he has to start for me
    We need to start with intent, we cant have a passive performance for an hour we make subs

    I think we need Alzate to keep the ball, Puerta for energy and one of Palmer or Crooks. Personally I'd start Palmer. And Gelhardt up front somewhere!
