Who would you play? What formation would you go for? I'd stick to 3-5-2 and I would play...

Stockdale
Chester Faye Hobbs
Elmo Koren Meyler Quinn Brady
Simpson Gedo/Boyd

Gedo if fit enough.

Score Prediction

Hull City 1-0 Cardiff City
Quinn

Watford 2-1 Leeds
Deeney Morison
Abdi

U.T.T.
 
----------stockdale
----Chester Faye Hobbs
-Elmo fathi koren cairney Brady
--------Prozzy Boyd

Cairney and fathi won't play but I'm not sure Meyler and Quinn deserve to

I would bring in Jamie Devitt as a holding midfielder.

Can we pair him up with Jimmy Bullard for the game ? <sorry>

I doubt that Steve Bruce will go for much change at this stage of the season. We have to go with what has worked so well over the season whilst having some game changers on the bench.

I expect Fryatt to score If someone anyone can create a chance or 2 for him
 
Stockdale

Chester-Faye-Hobbs

Elmo- Meyler-Evans-Koren-Brady

Simpson - Boyd/Fryatt

Jak, Mcshane,Rosie, Fathi, Quinn, Gedo, - Fryatt/Boyd

cant decide between the strikers, leaning towards Fryatt but depends how fit he is, Elmo needs to be reminded how he won the player of the year, by terrorising fullbacks not playing as one.
 
Stockdale
Rosenior, Chester, Faye, Brady
Elmo, Meyler, Koren, Quinn
Boyd/Gedo, Simpson

Having full backs gives the wide players more freedom, if Gedo is fit he has to play, he has a goalscoring threat we need.
 
Having studied the recent form of each player, I've decided the team most likely to win the game for us on Saturday, would be...

-----------Bogdan
Ricketts Knight Dawson Alonso
Eagles Pratley Vela Lee
-------Medo Sordell
 
Think it depends on who is fit. If Koren is fit for the whole game you play him. If he can only manage 30 you bring him on if we need a goal.
I can't see fathi suddenly starting or cairney. Bruce may have backed himself into a corner with picking the same players. I will be gob smacked if fryatt starts the match, I wouldn't have him as a sub. I would rather sling Faye up front if we're looking for a goal late on.

If Hobbs is fit you play him. Not sure i would play gedo if he's fit either. Better off the bench.

Stocky
Chester Faye Hobbs
Elmo. Brady
Koren Meyler Quinn
Boyd
Simmo

I think it's too late for Bruce to change formation now if he did I would like to see

Stocky
Rosy Chester Hobbs Brady
Elmo Meyler Koren Quinn
Simmo Boyd

Touch n go between Hobbs n Faye, you lose the goal threat at corners but Hobbs is quicker and would cover Brady defensively.

If we need a goal last ten minutes and start launching it then Faye is the only one likely to disrupt their defence.
 
I would love to see

Stockdale
Rosie Chester Faye Brady
Fathi---Evans
Meyler----Boyd----Quinn
Simpson​

With Elmo and Koren on the bench for when needed

SB should just pick eleven players who actually want to win.

Hopefully he can find eleven. <grr>

I think the problem isn't finding players who want to win it's getting them to play their normal game. They are wanting to score every time they get the ball and take risks. This is why they are losing the ball too much.
 
...............Stockdale

......Chester.....Faye....Hobbs

Elmo....Meyler....Evans.....Quinn......Brady

...............Koren / Boyd

................Simpson


However, I've a nasty feeling SB will make the same mistake he's made before and not play a holding midfielder. I also worry he will persist with Fryatt and possibly play an unfit Gedo.
 
Our probable line-up for Saturday. (All players below Campbell, are obviously the subs)

IMO it would be suicidal to change formation at this late stage I'd go with

Stockdale

Chester
Faye
Hobbs

Elmo
Koren
Evans
Quinn
Brady

Boyd

Simpson

SUBS
Jaku
Rosenior
Fryatt
Cairney
McShane
Meyler
Proschwitz

Its really hard to leave Meyler out, but I feel its the best way to include Koren(if fit). I think Brady and Quinn are great together.
