Great chance for us in this. They play in a way that should invite counter attacks. This may just be our likeliest points other than the last two at home. But Neil must learn from the home game yesterday and from the Ipswich game.
I want to see a team something akin to
Bogdan Vela Dervite Mills , Moxey. Janko Trotter, Rochina, Bannan, Ream Craig D. To keep us in the game and then with choices from Le Fondre, Eidur,Emile and Walker Coke to win and secure it in the second half I'm quite close but he refers three of my bench players to Moxey, Trotter Rochina who in turn are on the bench. I second guessed Bogdan's introduction correctly. Good chance today!

Le Fondre won't be eligible will he? ....That apart, I would be happy for your proposed starting line-up to take to the field, although I wouldn't be surprised if Amos is given his final game...I am suitably prepared for the anticipated ridicule for continuing to support the inclusion of Trotter!

Go on then, fill me in please explain! Not you, Trotter! The tortoise recommended by a couple of posters to bolster Wanderers' midfield.......the very idea made me laugh!

I really think we can win this if we play like we did at Ipswich and this time take our chances. No Le Fondre-I forgot that- but so it was at Ipswich. But that should mean better ball retention upfront if less striking power.

This line up is more like what I thought we'd play against Blackpool, 3 strikers with Walker and Janko on the flanks and Vela in midfield. Whatever the result it I think this is the formation we need to play. Firstly it gives us cover at the back, too many punts have caught us out. Mills, Wheater, Ream all have little pace and can be cut apart. With Dervite there it means strikers have to do more than simply run onto a ball and get a shot in.

great result. didn't expect that result. their keeper poor on the Cravies (1st of his) goal. done double over Cardiff now !! depending on whether you count Eidur as a striker or m/f ( more m/f today ...3/5/2) was this the 1st open play away goal for us all season... (from either Eidur or Cravies)...well it is April after all ! 2 from the welshman Cravies in Wales !
looked a better lineup without the dougie duds of feeney, trotter & danns. to be fair, danns has been ok but been quite poor lately. will be interesting to see if he's done enough to earn an extra year...i'm pretty 50/50 on him.
away clean sheet...that's a rarity...yet another one for Bogdan..( after his away clean sheet at Liv and his home one in cup to wigan..his last 3 games 3 clean sheets is it !? ) didn't sound like he was tested much today..just 2 saves..1 cleared off line by bannan.

As per comments above and on Blackpool thread I always thought this game a good chance for us to win. They are a clumsy side who try to press forward and just right for us to counter attack with bustle and speed. I was delighted to see more or less the team I wanted and when Moxey came straight on at 1-0 that was even more the prescription for stability. I look forward to reports of the game. Now Wigan have to win all five and we need only one point- unless Bournemouth take us for 6 or more and Millwall have to win 4 and draw two. I think we can relax?

This comment could have been eggs Benedict on the face or rightly proven. As it was I was right. I believe that this 3-5-2 formation must be the way forward. It Just makes sense, numbers in defence and numbers in attack. I'll be honest and say I thought Craig Davies shouldn't be in when ALF gets back but now i'm thinking Le Fondre and him in place of Heskey. Great win, safety there and Wigan all but down. Good Friday became Great Monday. Lennons back!

A great response by management and team to Saturday's disappointment, will give everyone involved confidence ahead of the Norwich game. I enjoyed Joanne's earlier link re Trotter (the player!), better to agree to differ with humour than rancour, it brought a smile to my face!
