Warne said last week that Blackman is his number one. He's played a lot worse earlier in the season than he did on Tuesday without being dropped, so why you'd expect him to be dropped now I don't know.

Well it's two up top. Whether it is (1) Harding at RB and Mattock at LB with Olosunde and Wiles wide in a 442, or (2) Olosunde and Mattock as wing backs in a 352, we will have to see. Probably the 442 if I had to guess, which would be a bold selection against such a good side.
It isnt easy being a manager. If he played one up front half the fans would call it too negative. He plays two up front and half the other half will call it reckless. At the end of the day, if we get a result all will be well and if we dont he will get stick and people will assume it would have been a better outcome if he had done it differently. That's just the way it is. Personally I agree with Derby that 442 risks us getting overrun, but we seem to be setting up to be positive and the players will give it a good go as they always do. Looking forward to the game. Brooks, Solanke and Stanislas is about £40m worth of forward line so we need to defend well and hopefully we have a goal or two of our own in us.

That was a good half, the formation seemed to be more 5-3-2 but it has worked so far, they have a lot of talent and a top quality goalie, be we have played well and we are mixing it up. Great for freddie to score again, what we need a nice tap in
Great first half from everyone apart from the dick between the posts. I'm not over-reacting when I say that if he isn't dropped, or preferably sent back, he will cost us our place in the Championship!
Some excellent crosses. More of the same in the second half please.
I'm totally fed up to the eyeballs of playing 12 men, every game, every league.... get VAR in please, it's not perfect, but it's better than relying on the incompetence of the idiots we get wearing balak, time after time....
Rant over, played ok... fingers crossed.
Blackman off please at half time.
