But the midfield will be weak regardless. We've got O'hare, who's looked a bit jaded recently, Sheaf, who's been a bit inconsistent, and then one of Shipley or Allen, both of whom will put in the effort but look like this is a level too far for them) if we go for a midfield three, or both of them if we pack the midfield and leave one up front.

Do we really see Sheaf, Allen, Shipley and o'Hare as being stronger than playing Walker and Max up front and leaving one out? I don't.

I could understand MR going safety first today and looking for the draw given the midfield problems but against a struggling Wednesday it'd almost be playing into their hands and giving them an easy ride.

We could end up with another game ruing the fact we didn't have more of a go and the trouble with playing for the draw is that it takes only one mistake or slip, a penalty given away or poorly defended set-piece, a fluke or moment of magic for that entire game plan to go out of the window and we need to tear it up and try something else which we won't have focused on in training. Plus as the game wears on and we near the end the nerves will kick in as they try and preserve the point, they drop deep and invite pressure and increase the likelihood of a goal against.

Don't get me wrong, I'd accept a draw as it stands but that doesn't mean we should play for it. Doing so leads to you losing more often than it sees you nicking a late winner.

We only have 4 available first team central midfielders, my concern is we play them all one gets injured and we’re in deeper doo doo.

I thought Allen was pretty good against Huddersfield, as he was for the first few games of the season - his form plummeted in week 3 or 4 and was rightly dropped, but I think he was written off too quickly by some. He harries, he runs, he tracks players - if you get chance, watch how he cuts off the passing lanes today. It's one of those tasks that's not glamorous and people don't always notice, but it's vital to the team. He puts an incredible amount of work in. Unfortunately his stature goes against him against the big bruisers we come up against, which can be his downfall. His ickle legs have to whirr like a hamster on a wheel just to keep up with others.

2-0 prediction, Biamou and Allen with the goals.

Best team we've got available at the minute IMO. Surprised and happy to see Godden on the bench.

?? we will be 6 points clear of both, minimum after today then. A win would give a 9 point gap to both. Plus further fixture congestion for both teams.

Clive just talking about it and saying he fears for elite sport the way things are going. Didn’t catch it all but was saying about European ties being cancelled (rugby). Not looking good

Cowardly LMAO

Away point vs anyone is decent . Especially in a 6 pointer where we are already above them

You see football so black and white its crazy. We should win this. The striker must score that etc

Not trolling but I am really surprised you say you play organised footy. It's like you judt csnt understand not everything you want in your head will always play out like that.

Yes, probably because I see football in another dimension that you never will.
