The deal to Brum will be completed after today's game. Hopefully after we've smashed them the price will increase. Pay up 'Arry

That is a strong bench. Pleased to see Hinds on there. COYR

Eliasson's paperwork obviously all sorted. Would not be surprised to see him get a run out. Not overwhelmed with available strikers, hopefully one or two back to fitness soon.

Didn't redknapp say they have different fee ideas then us? Sounds like the deal is dead to me 

[Fordy62]

A real chance for Bobby to cement his place. I hope he continues to prove me wrong. 

We're 200k away from Santander and a 24hr Ferry back to Pompey (the worst place on earth). I hope we get a result to help pass those 24hrs.

Surprised to see Hegeler start. Not disappointed though.

Hope he gets a decent run out!

I reckon this will win us the game, strength on the bench. Arry' saying last week he had none on the bench who he'd look at to make an impact

Would much rather Baker started this game. Gamble to play hegeler imo.

Think Hegeler has been solid so far, no point throwing him out whilst he's performing.

[Tears in rain]

Bryan considered Fit to play so that's a bonus as it's the same starting side as Barnsley

Quite right. He was in the squad Tuesday and removed from it, that's the way it should remain unless he asks to stay.

Would have started with Baker but can understand keeping an unchanged line up.

[iamalagerdrinker]

Tammy starting for Swansea 

[RumRed]

No tinkering!  C'mon out the blocks early again please lads, let's hasten Cotts' new job along for old times sake.

Come On You Reds!!!

Like the bench; plenty of pace and nice defensive options.

Would be great to see Eliasson get on and get involved today too.  And Hinds had early an appearance, if we can afford to give him it late on.

COYR!

[RUSSEL85]

Tough game and wouldn't be disappointed with a draw.

[iamalagerdrinker]

Oh  

[Bobbie]

Happy with the team and subs, pleased to see no Flint. COYR!

He didn't last 90 minutes in a stroll against Plymouth on Tuesday. No brainer not to start him. 

[Jerseybean]

Just spotted this in Flint's wallet......

I think it will be restricted, otherwise we're left with an unhappy player

Other thing is Hegeler has started twice, player well twice, scored once and we have not conceded with him on the pitch. Baker will get his chance soon enough but the message this season has to be that anyone who performs well gets to keep hold of the shirt...
