April 2, 200620 yr reckon one or two changes needed OBrien is looking jaded and I'd put Nicky Hunt in at right back Diouf is a must thing is though, who do you drop? I'd probably have to say Nolan because he's been under par last two games, but that's not going to happen you would have to drop one of Faye, Okocha or Speed and move Nolan back to midfield, of that lot you'd say Faye I'd also be tempted to say Davies but with 4 goals in 6 he's doing his job very well at the minute
April 2, 200620 yr Don't think Hunt should start. I think yesterday was a one off for OBrien. It was almost like he was giving them too much respect - he looked apprehensive about going in for tackles. Pederson is too erratic as a left-back for me and Jaidi is turing out to be a bit of a liability recently.
April 2, 200620 yr O'B is looking shakey at times though so give hunt a chance!! maybe an away game is better for him without the pressure of the boo-brigade! Diouf should start instead of Faye as we need to attack brum. nolan plays best from midfield anyway IMO!
April 2, 200620 yr Diouffy tore these fuckerrrs apart last season at their place! He will do it again!
April 2, 200620 yr here is my tactically simple opnion. go out and attack them, get anything early and they will fall to pieces. sit back and defend and give them some confidence if they get a goal. people talk about 6 pointers but if we go out and beat them Tuesday we will destroy their confidence for the run in and improve our chances of beating them at home. so there are 6 points on this one, if you see what i mean.

April 2, 200620 yr sam wont change his tactics . he has his game plan and he wont chant chat. he wont go there attack mindedhes not that way inclined thats his downfall some times. #-o

April 2, 200620 yr He must make changes to shake things up a bit. Option One I'd say Hunt in for OB as the young lad is now looking a bit tired. Diouf in for Speed with Nolan dropping back into midfield along side Okocha. Diouf on one wing, Stelios on the other with Davies down the middle. Options Two It could be possible to play 4-4-2 against Brum though and really put them on the back foot. The other optional change could be to take Faye out and play the 'Borg' along side Davies. Diouf and Stelios can play the flanks supporting both full-backs and the front men. Out of the two options I'd go for the latter, but knowing Sam and his sometimes 'negative' approach will go for option one.
April 2, 200620 yr Diouffy tore these fuckerrrs apart last season at their place! He will do it again! Yes, but has to be given the chance to make his comeback !! not 2 minutes at the end to try and save the day
April 3, 200620 yr sam wont change his tactics .he has his game plan and he wont chant chat. he wont go there attack mindedhes not that way inclined thats his downfall some times. #-o How many other Premier League managers chant chat? Have I been missing something?
April 3, 200620 yr I suspect Sam will play Hunt and Jaidi, for OB and Bruno. I'd rest Okocha for Diouf. Okocha may not be effective in a second game in three days and we need workrate and solidity against a poor but spirited team fighting for their lives. Also Faye and Jaidi would make us an even bigger threat on set pieces, and against Chelsea they looked vulnerable on these. So Jussi Hunt TBH Jaidi Bruno Faye Speed Nolan Stelios Davies Diouf

April 3, 200620 yr Radical idea but... Shit or bust. We are out of the running for a top 6 finish anyway: Jussi Hunt TBH Bruno Gardner (if fit) Speed Nolan Okocha Stelios Davies Borg Subs Walker JO'B Faye Pedersen Diouf Joey is starting to tire, and who can blame him? Stick Hunt in for the rest of the season, on the understanding he's playing for his future.
April 3, 200620 yr Potato head said on GMR he wants to get back to clean sheets !! Not heard that before. He said if that meant 0 - 0 then so be it. Tactical genius...... Need to get a goal early to keep the locals quiet, go a goal behind and I think it will be a long night.
April 3, 200620 yr Joey is starting to tire, and who can blame him? Stick Hunt in for the rest of the season, on the understanding he's playing for his future. I fully agree that OB is showing signs of being tired. Not sure that Hunt should be playing for his future though as he would always be a good squad player.
April 3, 200620 yr Well, we need a proper right back and a back up left back next season. If Nicky is going to be first choice then we can bring a cheaper player in, if not then we will have to bring a quality player in.

Need to get a goal early to keep the locals quiet, go a goal behind and I think it will be a long night. I think Allardyce will play an attacking side and try and get an early goal like we did at Boro. The radio interview is just something else he has learnt from his friend Sir Awex.
April 3, 200620 yr we should gor for the kill early on. i think they will crumble if we get an early lead [-o<
reckon one or two changes needed
OBrien is looking jaded and I'd put Nicky Hunt in at right back
Diouf is a must
thing is though, who do you drop?
I'd probably have to say Nolan because he's been under par last two games, but that's not going to happen
you would have to drop one of Faye, Okocha or Speed and move Nolan back to midfield, of that lot you'd say Faye
I'd also be tempted to say Davies but with 4 goals in 6 he's doing his job very well at the minute
