hughsies no.1 I can't have Illori starting, still not 100% convinced and looks so one footed. Agree with yesterdays shape but if McCleary is fit it will cause a dliemna for Jaap. Would go:
Al Habsi
Gunter
McShane
Moore
Blackett
Obita
Kelly
Williams
Evans
Beerens
Kerm
Mendes looked good yesterday but can't be starting him in the biggest game of our seasons after two impressive displays. Also don't think JVDB looked up to match fitness yesterday but could easily see Jaap putting him in for Evans. Harsh on Swift not being in there but reckon he will be saved for home leg along with McCleary.

Hound Thinking about the side here, it does make me realise we do have a very good squad coming together. For all the jibes about false third etc, we have some real quality at the club

Jaakola, McShane, Ilori, Williams, Grabban, Meite, Mendes
Al-Habsi is obvious.
I went for a back 4 rather than the back 5 people seem to prefer. Our midfield is more important to us in these final games than a 3rd CB so we may as well play to our strengths in the centre.
Kelly just pushes out Williams. Has just as much energy and work ethic but has a touch more creativity. Swift has had his critics this season but has produced so he must start.
McCleary and Beerens should have no arguments against and Kermorgant could turn out to be our most important player going into the play-offs. His form has been fantastic and his confidence will be so important for us.
The bench should have a more attacking focus imo. 2 defenders for cover against injury, Moore is perfectly capable of moving out onto the right so have taken out the untested Watson for the slightly less untested Ilori (he does have an assist remember)
Williams has been a workhorse this season and may be just the spark of energy we need in a substitute when its do or die time.
Grabban and Mendes have started to prove their worth to this team in recent weeks so fully deserve the chance to prove that they can be match winners. I'm hoping their recent goal scoring exploits will have filled them with the belief they need to make the difference off the bench.

Did you go to Fulham earlier in the season? Tore our full backs apart, personally i'd go for a back 5.

I didnt unfortunately. I see the arguments for a back 5 and there are some great reasons for doing so, but in my unprofessional opinion I think we would do well to allow our Midfield to play their natural game.

Would be ballsy and would say the only problem with back 5 is it makes it hard to play mccleary and beerens without losing a strong center midfield.
