Bruno must play. El Capitan is much better and safer than Schelotto. I'd also take Suttner over Bong. Maybe giving Leo a start & Murray a rest but not Locadia. Gross & two wingers for me.

I'd go with that - at least it will leave bench options for the second half fightback

We could certainly do with a shake up. Our defence looks shaky and strikers out of form. Will we see it from the cautious, loyal Mr Hughton?
He is the professional who has got us this far so I bow to his judgment... but I can’t help wishing.......

Same here. No change from Mr Predictable despite the following......
1) Murray looks like the season has caught up with him. Too slow in thought and reaction to convert three decent chances 2nd half Saturday and other decent chances spurned in recent games. First name on sheet.
2) Duffy. Sterling effort this season but just too many errors of late. Second name on sheet.
3) Schelotto. Poor at Everton, ordinary v Leics/Udders and awful v Palace. Certainly justifies another game.
4) Ryan ( harsh but...... )One bad game I know but it was a shocker. Pity we haven't got a decent PL keeper in reserve, just to come in and freshen things up. Keep him on his toes.
5) Bong. Defensively woeful but worth his place for his forward runs and complete inability to cross accurately. Pity we haven't got a decent LB in reserve.
6) Izquierdo. Scored a goal which made up for the succession of errors on Saturday. Namely...giving the ball away under no pressure, showing a first touch like Ayers Rock and completely failing to track back. Never mind, he scored, so well worth his place.
Tactically, I would take Gross off after about 65 minutes and then bring on Ulloa to partner Murray, so we would have 4 big target men to get on the end of crosses, corners and freekicks. It is imperative that you have Knockaert, March, Schelotto and Bong all playing for the last 25 minutes, to absolutely ensure that not a single ball finds its way onto the head of any of the big men.

Yep, not so much personnel but those starting need to be on it from the ko and not think they’ve got time to play themselves into the game.
I see a lot of people dropping Murray, but I’d be more worried if he wasn’t getting into positions to miss. I like Ulloa when he comes on but he doesn’t seem to sniff out scoring positions like Murray does, even though his build up play is probably better.
Lots of people prepared to gamble on Locadia, but just don’t see it in his performances so far.
Now’s not the time to start dropping players you have relied on all season. I’ve still got enough belief in our side that they’ll pull a result out of somewhere.

Late night tipple?
Never touch the stuff. Just a possible way of overcoming our present weakness in both full-back positions.
It doesn't matter about our team - this is a nailed on three points for us. Why? Because Spurs are still in the FA Cup, and as everybody on NSC knows you cannot do well in the Cup without your League form suffering. It's as an immutable fact as the Law of Gravity. That's why we don't bother with the Cups, so that our league form doesn't suffer from the unwanted distraction. If we can't beat a team who are still in the FA Cup at this stage of the season, we don't deserve to stay up.
Well, Hughton’s dropped Schelotto following his inability to defend in recent games. A sound move.

Agree but ES is a viable option when we want to attack a game ! - - - - - - Oh hang on !

Dropping Jesus for our match against spurs is a BIG mistake.
What we don't have anywhere is Pace (excepting Knockhaert with his mad runs to nowhere)
That will bite us on the arse.

Izquierdo is lightning quick.
The problem is that Schelotto may well be exposed again and again, so it's no good having attacking intent, if you're on the back foot and conceding goals.
