I don't think so , but we will give them a hard game .
We now have some pace up front , I would like to see Cullen play at 9 , or big Myk for a bit of height to attack the balls into the box that our Brazilian Ronald will supply .
Would like to see some balls over the top into space for him to run onto as well .
They've had a full week on the training ground so let's hope they show the benefit of that and let's hope they've got their shooting boots packed ready !

Too difficult for me to predict. We're creating chances but not converting them. We might go for broke and play Myk as a target man with Cullen off him in a sort of 4-3-2-1. But I don't think Yates should start. He's had plenty of chances and I'd like to see Cullen get an equal run. I want us to win, obviously, but we mustn't lose. Every point we get could prove valuable and I'd settle for a draw.

If Yates starts again there must be photos. He's been a damp squib for the most of the season; other than the sparkle of energy he showed before the transfer window closed in that one match when there was some rumor of him going to Blackburn.

Yates misses chances because he's too late, too slow, too weak with his touch .... etc. Chances that, although we may be a tad optimistic, if we had to bet our last penny on someone scoring it would be on Cullen given the choice of him and Yates.

I would play 4-1-2-3 with Cullen up front, Ronald and Placheta on the wings, Paterson and Cooper as double tens, Allen as number 6, Cabango and Wood as centre-backs, Tymon and Naughton as full-backs.

By the way, when is Key is back from injury?

According to Williams today, Key is still a while.

No Grimes, nor Fulton. That's going against the grain @CroJack. But I like it. Something needs to be shaken up. Not sure I'd pick Pato. More inclined to play Grimes in that slot.

Fulton's not been on his game of late. Both Pato and Grimes have been blowing hot and cold as well. Start with one of them, obviously, with the other coming off the bench if needed. Our players need to know that none of them are guaranteed starters and have to perform to keep their places.

Close. I would replace Grimes and Fulton with Allen and Cooper.

This is today's line-up.
