We’ve just started (very badly) a run of 4 games in 12 festive days.

Will Potter change things up radically or pick the same side more or less for each fixture?

After the Sheff Utd mishap, I think the likes of Connolly, Alzate, Duffy, Bernardo and Bissouma should get a sniff Vs Spuds.

Yes he should give them all a run out. It is something of a 'free hit' game. Bournemouth at home on 28 th is pretty vital and we need to be fully functioning for that one.

I hope whoever he picks for the Bournemouth game perform much better than the last time they came here on the back of a really shit run. Strangely Bournemouth are in a similar run of form as they were before that annihilation.

I expect nothing from the Spurs game except a massive improvement in form from Saturday though.

Free hit v Spuds, play Schelloto, Ali J, Duffy, Balogan, Bernardo, Bissouma, Murray. Bournemouth is very winnable Spurs i'snt.

He's going to have to, two days Spurs to Bournemouth is ridiculous - 46 hours from whistle to whistle. At least we don't have to travel as far as some.

I think we’ve got a good chance vs Chelsea on News Years Day. Having skinned Spuds, they’ve got a relatively easy game at home to Stains but then Arsenal away could be quite a challenge. Hopefully the tank will be empty by the time they get to the Amex.

Duffy in for Webster to mitigate Kane. Bernardo in for burn to deal with speed merchant Lucas.

Alzate in for gross.

NM is getting through a tremendous amount of work...i hope AC plays alongside him to share the load...whether they will be an effective partnership remains to be seen

With your suggested changes we may as well forfeit the fixture and not even bother travelling.

Seems the sort of tinpot thing that Warnock would do, send out the reserves against a top 6 team, to try and ensure a win against a relegation candidate, and not something that a club with top 10 ambitions should be doing,
