Won't applaud Pringle, I would Arnie. Fulham game SE as at last seen the light with Collin & JCH. Rawson sat' in place of Halford. If Mattock is out will have to play Newell, play D. Ward on the left. G. Ward on the right, Smallwood back, if we don't get nobody in play Thorpe central midfield. Derbyshire & JCH up front. Think there might be a central midfielder in.

Pringle is not favoured and probably won't start. My heart says win, head as in the Prediction League says draw. If you didn't know better and watched Barnsley last night and watched us, you'd say they were the CH team us the L1 team. Evans and Raynor have confessed many times they are the 'attacking coaches'. Well until they learn to teach their players to work triangles and pockets of space like Barnsley did brilliantly last night (and against a PL team remember), we are going to suffer.

Fulham will be intricate, not bust a gut but just keep probing us until we make a mistake, get tired or both. I hope Rawson is fit, Collins is utter bab, he makes Broadfoot look like John Terry. Halford isn't far behind and really concerned by his apparent lack of 'captain credentials'. We have pace out wide which is great, but Smallwood is off it, time for Thorpe to show what he can do, but we need a dictator in the middle, not a Frecks who's game is arriving late and getting 20 yarders in, or a G Ward who needs the dictator type insurance policy so he can bomb forward (Tottenham fans have said what a talent he is - no doubt with the right players around him and not L1 requests by management). It's good to see JCH keep improving, but I'm sorry I'm not in the Derbyshire love in camp, we need a lump up top where the ball can stick, Derbyshire is not this neither is be a creator, neither can he score in a month of Sundays from often the easiest of opportunities. I would try Maguire, he's not the lump but he's a creator and his corner delivery is on the nail. I'm not even going into the GK dept, Roos should never wear our shirt again.

We need to play a bit cagey for the first twenty minutes, sound out the opposition and more importantly

KEEP POSSESSION OF THE BALL!

Last few games we've tended to run too wildly at their defence without scoring a goal.

Let's not be too predictable by playing too many long balls.

Attack down the wings and whip the ball in hard and low.
