Southampton looking safe and QPR doing ok at Villa. Spending money seems to be working for them!! Take not AZ. We have been an embarrassment. Our players earned the right to play in the PL. They had lost that right by the end of December following a shocking beginning to the season. We should have spent big in January rather than shopping at Poundland again. Looking forward to QPR and southampton laughing at us when they play us soon?

Our defence will have that front line in it's pocket..

Got a very bad feeling that we are going to get creamed.

You lost me at that.

McDermott's legacy.

[RoyalinBracknell]

haha. It was unconfirmed. Dellor cracks me up

That really was awful from Dellor, stating as a fact that Taylor wasn't even on the bench and then having to backtrack and say 'oh hang on he might actually be starting!' It's fair enough to use the warm-up as a guide but you should surely state that's what you're basing your inference on.

There be going for it today

Have to say I'm impressed at the starting 11. Exactly what I would have done.

Surprised Akpan isn't starting tbh. Guess Dolan's looking for a more defensive feel. Wonder which winger is sitting behind Hunt?

Hal, probably.

Happy to take QPR down with us.

HRK in

[sandman]

Again hardly any players in our starting 11 are comfortable in possession of the ball, only Shorey, Mapps, McAnuff and HRK... That's why we are going down and that's why we will have 30% possession again today.

Nothing to do with playing against Manchester United then?

Decent. Hunt alone up front could work.

[ManchesterRoyals]
