Rudoni had blue physio tape on one of his thighs at Stoke, Helic was also taped up at the back of his knee.

Rudoni has 5 goals and 2 assists. You'd think we're without Kevin De Bruyne reading some of the posts. He's a decent player but far from the level where you should feel we can't cope without him. Kasumu, Matos, Hogg, Wiles and Diarra have the grand total of 2 between them so I’d rather lose any of them than Rudoni. |

The game passes Wiles by so much, its difficult to tell what he is supposed to be or what role he has been asked to play??
Go 4 4 1 1.
Healey just behind Radulovic.
Thomas matos kasumu koroma/burgzog
Headley pearson helik spencer
Nicholls..
And ffs dont give away one more corner or free kick in our half than is absolutely neccessary..
Millwall like a physical challenge at a set piece.
Rudoni, Hogg missing, its just another week at Town at this time.
Thin squad, thinned out further.
Have to get on with it.
Often its not who plays its very much how we play that is thebissue.

Midfield 3 of matos kasumu and wiles with diarra a sub option for the latter |

for me these last 6 games, are not about formations and styles of play. What it is about is mentaility and a will to win, ours has to be stronger than the other team. It is 11 v 11 who wants it the most, which team will run the extra yard etc.
Do whatever it takes to get a win, whichever teams do this the most surive , go up etc at end of a season.

It leaves kasumu and matos to cover a break and be able to cover for Thomas. Should we get a goal or even two up, then I would have decisions to make about holding that lead without running off and forming the Rourkes Drift , Zulu defence. |

Got to remember being entertained is the main thing. I will take results until we are in the top 2 or 3 by miles and then I may consider the asthetic values of our midfield play and playing out from the back qualities. The first halves of leeds and wba were entertaining because we saw our players outwork and outplay theirs. The beautiful game is in the eye of the beholder as all beauty is. I prefer watching leeds play than southampton and Ipswich to Leicester. |

To me entertainment has aleways come a very distant second to results, more so now than ever before, i agree Leeds was entertaining if nerve wracking purely because of the circumstances. |

Don’t know what the hell is going through some of our players heads currently but they need to bloody well wake up and smell the coffee come 3pm Saturday. No more needless red cards, fuck ups in front of goal or switching off at the back! |

A little unfair to say he looks disinterested. He's panicking with his passing, often not finding his man. He doesn’t play that well with Thomas in front of him. His strength is taking an early return ball and charging into the box, however Thomas never gives it to him. Thomas only has one thing on his mind and that's getting a cross in. So many of our players are brain dead when it comes to taking the right option. Thomas and Burgzorg are huge culprits but not alone.

I expect Millwall to sit back, Headley is one who is able to beat a man and get in behind. Don't imagine he'll need to do that much defending tomorrow. |

Our inability to keep a clean sheet is laughable, I think it will be a tight game, they’ll come to waste time, commit fouls and turn it into a farce. Breaking the deadlock early could be key but then I wouldn’t fancy us to hold onto a 1 goal lead we need to 3 up!
Be interesting to know how many points we’ve thrown away from winning positions lately!

Be interesting to know how many points we’ve thrown away from winning positions lately! By my basic totting up, 22 points this season. Last few games, Stoke (2), West Brom (3), Leeds (2). I’m expecting Millwall to be quite positive tomorrow. This is a game where they can go a long way securing safety and putting a bigger gap to one of the clubs that can catch them. Our margins are much tighter. |

Watching Lee Nicholls presser yesterday was intersting, as he kept saying the term "togetherness" that as a club we should be together, as a fanbase and a team we should be together. I found it intersting because is Lee trying to convince the fans that the team are "together" ? Because as a fanbase we are "together" in the fact we do not want to go down and want the club to be sucessful. Where as the team itself it is very much debetable that they are "together" in my eyes anyways.
As a team they have not shown the hallmarks of a team that is "together" at all this season, where as in previous campgains and i am not just talking about promotion or nearly campagins , we have shown this. Heck in the first season back in the champ, we showed this towards the end with big wins full of character and desire, even under Powell we showed this in games. Yet we have not had any what you would say "big" wins as of yet or full games of heart and desire , Lion preformances if you will. We have had a lot of doing "just enough" or " well we nearly had x". This season i do wonder if the players actually like each other or even care about the preformances they are putting in at times, as the complete fall aprts worry me . There also seems to be a lack of support for each other both on the ball and off it, IE tracking back properly to support a team mate and supporting the man on the ball. This season there just does not seem to be that spark.Like i say it just an opinnion and i hope tomorrow is the starting point of us staying up of course UTT.

Agree with bluebells comments, Nicholls response to most questions got really monotonous. IMO he was really trying to push the point forwards, but why. Not sure the squad are together or have bought into the manager. Hope I'm wrong but let's see what happens. UTT.

So many of our players are brain dead when it comes to taking the right option. Thomas and Burgzorg are huge culprits but not alone. I saw Sorba giving him a really long and intense talking to just before kick off on Saturday and Headley just looked totally non-plussed. I mean what sort of confusing nonsense must Sorba spout most of the time. |

Glad someone else saw this, IMO JH should have told Thomas to do one, he's no tactical expert who doesn't do anything that isn't for his own benefit.

Had a dream last night that Radulovic gets through one on one and dinks it beautifully over the keeper. I’ve never been married to Warnock but watch this space.

Not entirely sure what we'll end up with tbh. Think Koroma might start this one.
---------Bojan-----
Koroma---Healey------Sorba--
----Kasumu--Matos----
Headley--Helik--Pearson--Spencer--
--------Nicholls-----

Real season defining games this weekend -
If Rotherham can beat Plymouth and we can beat Millwall, there’s light at the end of the tunnel - potentially only a couple of wins from being safe and above Plymouth who are in rotten form.
If Plymouth beat Rotherham and we fail to beat Millwall, we could be second bottom, a few points from safety and only one or two teams we can realistically catch to stay up (Plymouth and Brum). With them having a few points head start and Wednesday in the mix.
Pivotal weekend. Fingers crossed things can go our way.
We won’t know we’re safe this weekend, but I think we will know if we’re as good as down at 5pm tomorrow.
