Djuric on the bench could be useful late on. Shame there's no McCoulsky. If Little's fitness is questionable I'm surprised we haven't got Vyner on bench. I guess Smith would drop there and a midfielder come on.

We can still finish above them.

Maicon doing well at RB.

Shame no Reid in squad. I still think he offers us something good from the bench.

Not sure about the team but I love the diamond. It's what we should've implemented from the start of the season. Risky against a team with such good wide players though.

At least everyone else is losing

Anyone fancy periscoping the beamback for me? Some cityception.

Yes Ralph. Love it lad.

Gotta score now, we really need a goal.

They're down to 10 men mate

As much as I like Djuric I hope LJ is forced to give Engvall even a minute of game time and he scores. Just to shut everyone up.

He doesn't rate Vyner that much then. Harsh on O'Dowda but a good lineup I like it. COYR

A great point regardless. The kind of fight I've been doubting existed in this squad. Excellent, onto the next 2 crunch games.

Which sub is gonna come on and be that hero

Taylor should come on but I don't know when nor who for

Sounds like we could have had 2 goals in the last 5 minutes for goodness sake, really need to get a 3rd.

We're a dwindling minority but perhaps this game could help change that.

As someone who wouldn't sack LJ even after all the shite that we've seen recently I will reserve judgment until after the game.

Can mods stop all threads being made until full time.

Noooo Bobby that could've been the goal I've been asking for for ages. Come on guys, gotta take these chances.

WILBRAHAM OH MY GOD HAHAHA

They probably know Jungle Warfare thanks to I'm a celeb. Plus Ant and Dec are Geordies so presumably our left side is McGregor and Mayweather?

Vyner is obvious as you've said. Wilbraham is forced as theres no way we can have Taylor playing alone up top. He probably worked on this system in the week but Djuric being injured meant it must be AW. Brownhill is injured I'm pretty sure, so Smith and Reid are probably the only 2 equally as energetic. O'Neil is probably the one I'd question though thinking about it, maybe Hegeler should be in there. I like O'Dowda and Bryan vs Yedlin and Ritchie that's quite a battle and one Golbourne couldn't have coped with.

I would love for there to be a periscope

Without giving me your ideal XI why don't you rate the team? I think most of the changes are reasonably obvious. It would've been Djuric up top alone had he not fallen ill.
