Did anyone really expect anything other than a defensive team? CH doesn't do gung ho

Draw or defeat imo

Can't believe Houghton is playing for a draw - nothing but 3 points is needed,

I am tempted to say that Hughton doesn't know what the f*** he is doing but I won't......Sidwell.........incredible.

Not too worried about striker shortage as Murphy and Knocky both look like they're gonna score every time they cut in from the wings
If you're not going tonight put your feet up and relax put the transistor radio on and enjoy, we're gonna smash em

Well the starting line up as blown away my attacking options of a win tonight :-(

Looks like CH playing to the strengths of what he has available to him as we only have Hemed as an in-form striker. Wilson was very poor on Saturday.

Skalak and Lua Lua offer us something different plus we can bring Knockaert or Murphy on if either are ineffective. I guess Sidwell will play some sort of holding role.

Hughton is either going to acclaimed as a tactical genius or he's totally fcked it up with that team.

Sadly, I'm fearing the worst now.

Why aren't we going all out, lose or draw we are probably knackered for the autos and we are practically guaranteed a playoff place. Why not go for it then.

Not sure I am quite toys out of the pram at that line up. Wilson wasn't up to it Saturday, Baldock injured, and maybe Knocky got a knock. Pleased to see LuaLua back in the fold, he and Skalak could do a lot of damage. Lets get behind them and see how they do.

Trying to be positive now. Skalak should have a chance of taking some of his specialist free kicks from his preferred area of the pitch (according to his YouTube vid) as that is exactly where Lua Lua likes to get felled. Murphy's break may be good for him. Stephens & Kayal will need to make more runs into the box to support Tomer.
