Really, really want a win tonight as I've a particular distaste for their manager. I met him in real life and he's exactly as you'd imagine him to be, and by that, the way he puts himself forward in public is pretty much what you get away from the cameras. However, that's not the real reason, it's all the shenanigans around Paddy Kenny and his failed drugs test for taking a banned substance (by having a Lemsip). Warnock claiming that a Lemsip isn't performance enhancing, but in practically the next sentence saying if he hadn't have taken it, he'd have been at less than 100% for the game. I hope we send him home unhappy.
Rose in for Osti, obvs
O'Hare in for Shipley
I actually enjoyed Matty James' performance at the weekend, playing further forwards got more out of him than I'd seen when deputising for Kelly. Happy to let Hamer sit out for another game. His rest was long overdue.
