    A bit early but why the **** not?

    We've be fully fit again in April.

    I'd start with -

    ASM-----------Wood----------Fraser
    -----Joelinton-Bruno-Willock------
    Targett---Burn----Schar----Krafth
    -----------------Dubz-------------------

    Yes I'd go with ASM. I really hope we don't puss out and go 5 at the back.

    If our team is fit, it picks itself IMO.

    I don't want to see Almiron on the wing.

    ASM should be starting, Almiron/Murphy can come on later to defend.

    Not ****ing ASM making sub apps, which is obviously not his forte.

    Start him, score, then bring him off when we're defending a win/draw.

    I don't think it matters who Howe plays... Much like Bruce he's got a ****e squad to choose from.

    If our best attacker is max then there's your problem right there.

    For Spurs, we should go to a double pivot in midfield with Jonjo back in alongside Bruno. They both want the ball and can cycle the ball, it's a good combination to try and get hold of a game. Willock to play central and be more advanced, looking to press with his great energy and make intelligent runs - he is the guy we need to get scoring,

    Wood - he needs to be dropped. You cannot play THAT badly week in, week out and retain your spot. I'll get crucified for suggesting it, but Joelinton looked a bit lost last night. It was as if he looked like a player playing out of position - it's weird, considering how well he's adapted. But before his confidence takes a battering, maybe rest Wood and play big Joe up top for the Spurs game? He's got a memory of scoring against them, his confidence is much higher than it was. I just cannot see the point in putting Wood back in - the guy's a lumbering sack of crap, he's doing nothing. Constantly losing the ball, heading it to nowhere, never being in the right place and generally just getting in the way. I mean, if he couldn't find a bit of form after scoring then what hope is there?

    If we’re fully foot wouldn’t we be playing Wilson? I don’t want to get all Roly on you all but Wilson is slightly better

    Indeed, fully fit would include both Wilson & Trippier, but they won't be ready for Spuds. Just hope they do both play again this season, we badly miss both of them.

    I think 3-1 to Spurs.

    Not one we are likely to get much from. If we do, then I'd see it as a bonus.

    He said “fully foot” not “fully fit” do keep up.











    I don’t know what it means either but he’s a teacher so it will be some modern thing. Just agree, it makes us look clever…:bandit:

    I assumed it was something to do with appendage length.

    Trippier can't be far away now can he? This game will be 7 weeks since he did it.

    In which case shouldn’t Wilson be back as well?

    Dunno but a broken foot is 6 to 8 weeks.

    Torn calf can be 3-4 months.

    It'll take a good month to get back to fitness for both. They might be needed if things get uncomfortable, but otherwise I doubt we'll see either this season.

    I think we will see Trippier, bone isn't like muscle, once it's healed it's healed, there's no risk of reinjury like with muscle.

    Yes but fitness will take a while and injurys do **** up your performance levels for while.

    I think if we're safe they'll avoid rushing them back unless they're 100%!

    10 goals for Wood. 3 off his left foot, 3 off his right, 3 with his head and 1 off his arse.
