After winning back to back games without changing the team for neither game i dont think there will be any changes on saturday. Its a massive game for us and we need 3 points to keep us in the frame for the play offs. Neil Danns is back from suspension but he is an injury doubt according to Nigel. With King and Wellens returning from injury and both playing well its debatable weather he could of got onto the bench and way. Apart from that everyone is fit. So here is what i would play Schmeichel Peltier Morgan Bamba Konchesky Marshall Wellens Drinkwater Dyer Nugent Beckford Subs- St. Ledger, King, Gallagher, Schlupp, Howard
Schmeichel Peltier Morgan Bamba Konchesky Marshall Wellens Drinkwater Dyer Nugent Beckford Subs- St. Ledger, King, Danns, Gallagher, Schlupp Lets hope for another win to keep the dream alive!!
Pearson mentioned that Danns may struggle to be fit for the game. If he was fit though i would put him in over Wellens, because although Wellens has played well recently, we need someone to scrap and hassle them.
I'd pick the same team that beat Ipswich - did the job them, will keep the faith they can do it again.
We have a few knocks plus Gallagher and King both made a significant impact when they came on in both wins. Do they deserve a start?
I know he isn't exactly a fans' favourite but Gally has made a more positive contribution to the last two games than Dyer recently and I think he deserves a start. Also, Lloyd looks a bit knackered (I think him and Nugent have been the most used outfield players since Nige came back) so he could do with a rest then bring him off bench against tired legs. And it allows Marshall to play on the left where he looks more dangerous. King also has done well the last two times he's come on so I'd guess he'd start. Didn't Nigel say that Danns had a slight knock anyway so that'd be a good excuse to leave him out without creating a big 'Neil Danns dropped' issue that the likes of Stringer will probably create if he doesn't play. I think he'll go for: Schmeichel Peltier Morgan Bamba Konchesky Gallagher Wellens King Marshall Beckford Nugent Subs: St Ledger; Drinkwater; Dyer; Schlupp; Danns/Howard.
BTW what has happened to SSL - is he injured? Him and Morgan looked rather good then they first were paired up - would have him over Bamba.
