Talk of Naismith coming back into squad, OTC doubtful, and even Kalas a slim possibility.

Yeah, saw the Post piece, not sureabout that.
NIge doesn't risk players and with virtually nothing to play for even less chance. 
Naismith would be the least surprising, but I'd bet on non used Sub most likely.
I'd give Kalas even less of a chance.
Conway sounds doubtful too, another 45 at best ?
I wouldn't be surprised if OTC missed out completely , sounds likely.
If I was to guess, I think we start with the side that finished against Stoke.
Though without any players back, that bench looks very thin.

Here’s some more Fry’s history: https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/history/gallery/fascinating-photos-frys-chocolate-story-6940965

My Aunty Margaret used to work at Frys,she would often bring us bags of Mint Crisps, After Eights with the corners cut off , Turkish delight etc .

Bless her.

My mum worked at Fry’s, we had white bags of reject chocolate, stuff that was squashed, not made correctly (5 centres or Plain Choice not in the correct section, broken curly wurlys etc) and brown bags of stuff that had been on the floor (Crème Eggs, Roses etc).

That’s the stuff. We often had fluff on our Curly Wurlys.

I think this gives a clue to how Warnock is going about this..... at home.

[Robin101]

2-2 in the Huddersfield game. Still not a bad point for them - think they're nearing safety.

Furry curly wurly?

We were rebels in our house , we’d eat After Eights at 7 o’clock . 

[cityexile]

Not much to look out for in the 3pm kick offs as we are pretty much done and dusted. I suppose a Coventry win v Watford means we most likely finish the day in the top half of the table with a win. 

Edit, and of course the first goal of the afternoon is a Watford goal.

This might be why your favourite expletive is " Fluff off ! "

Rebels without a clue?

'Fluff on' would be more accurate.

My great aunt had a sweet shop / stores in Whitehall. Happy days when we visited and told to go and help ourselves.

Next doors mum worked there and we’d get a stash at Xmas.

Their bad run started even earlier & it hasn’t even stopped.

As painful as that season was for us, we went to Boro, Swansea & Birmingham & won & gritted out a vital point at Blackburn. The point at Sheff Wed with 10 men after a terrible handball penalty decision saw Lansbury sent off was pretty huge, too.

QPR don’t look like they can get a point off of anyone.

[cityexile]

Unexpected, but QPR level. Some guy called Chris Martin. Deflected in from a goalie clearance.

Except West Brom. 2-2 now…Chris Martin!!!

[Lanterne Rouge]

Naismith back on the bench. Good to see.

Take him out mind and what`s the average age of the subs? About 20?

Why not? He's gonna open his account soon enough and why not today with the wind behind him (so to speak) ?

[Dan Robin]

Wilson not even on the bench? 

Really tough match today: not optimistic about the result, but with this team you never know...  

[Bazooka Joe]

No Kane Wilson.

Is he injured?
