No Worrall is huge. Too late to change prediction? 

Hope McKenna is straight up to speed.

Big game for McKenna.  Been dogged by fitness.  No question over his ability.  It seems to be a curse.  (Remember's Hobbs.  Sound CH who seem to have constant injury problems.)

Worrall has been imperious, lately.  True leader.

Hope that Figs is at the top of his game today and gels with McKenna.

Head it.  Kick it.

Seriously what does CH see in Bong and Murray, is he bombing Ribs out of the team altogether, does anyone know if Ribs is injured?

Ribeiro will leave the club in the summer. CH looking at other options.

"With the two left backs who have played more often, Ribeiro and Bong, they have been tactical changes. Two parts of my game, one is about consistency in the team and the other is about rotation and resting a player, and that has been the case in the left back position when in other positions I have perhaps gone for some more stability.[/font][/size][/color]

"If you were to play a settled and consistent back four, then it will be because they are all doing well and results are going how you want. It is difficult to do that in this league with the amount of games we play and the individuals are all different. For one player that can play game after game and have the durability to do that, there are others that have found it more difficult and we have to judge on their physical data, others are picking up injuries."

Yep. Duncan.  That's probably the truth of the matter.  I didn't realise he only had a year left on his contract and that was this year.

Our fullbacks have been pretty soft all season defensively.  Difficulty in stopping crosses coming into the box.  (Ruthlessly targeted by opposition teams.). And I'm not surprised if Hughton is looking at more defensively robust fullbacks who can position themselves better, do more running, better crosses, more energy, better tackling, track back and actually head a ball. They've been part of our malaise.

I remember Ribs bombing on in the Derby game, loses the ball and gives the ball away and it wasn't long after that Derby equalised. I thought at the time, perhaps that is not what we need right now. ie. To be bombing on. Rather than using our head and keeping the win safe.

Our defence can't be that bad considering they are fifth when it comes to least conceded side in the Championship.

But lets not let a bit of drama get in the way of facts eh?
